Rod in Toronto Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Just to be clear, this is the sans-Geoff version of Queensryche. And what an awesome song!!! It sounds like I have been wishing they sounded for almost 10 years. Todd´s voice is exactly like Geoff´s, and it seems to be the first case of balls transplant in music history.

Stormtron Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've never been a big Ryche fan, but I'm gonna buy like five copies of this album just to spite Taint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 If the other tracks sound even remotely like this, I'll buy TEN copies, dude... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Pretty good song. Is it weird that I was picturing Geoff Tate singing while listening to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Wow, spooky. There were a few moments while listening that I had an Operation Mindcrime flashback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Meh. The vocals are good, which I knew they would be. It's better than Dedicated to Chaos material and such, but it's a pretty standard riff with a mediocre solo and a less than memorable chorus. I'd still rather listen to Fear City Slide. Still, it sounds better than the samples for Tate's new record with his version of QR, but I'm not going to look at Redemption with rose-coloured glasses. It's an okay song, but I hope there are much better on the album. I'm not ready to praise these kinds of songs just because Tate's a douche.

Rushman14 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 way better than the Abomination that is Tate's version of QR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 way better than the Abomination that is Tate's version of QR. Waaaaaay better. And the chorus is awesome, I´ve had a lunch break 30 mins ago and can´t stop listening to this song since I came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Wow.. a LOT better than I expected.. I cant quite catch all the lyrics but it seems to have a serious "Empire" vibe going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I just listened to the Taintryche samples and LOOOOOOOOOOLOLOLOLOL. Listen to the re-recordings of the old songs for the true laughs. GOOD GOD, MAN. The guys in the real QR have gotta be laughing their asses off at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah this is good, although the singer might be trying to be too much like Tate in his delivery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah this is good, although the singer might be trying to be too much like Tate in his delivery... I think thats exactly what the band wants though, a Tate clone. Just like when Ripper joined Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to hear him try to be Tate in the Rage For Order era as Todd. But he's singing a lot like Tate did on Empire with this new track. It's not an accident that he sounds so much like the Geoff Tate of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I know it sounds good, but the approach is totally wrong. If I want to hear Tate do old Rÿche tunes, I'll listen to the first five albums. I want to hear Todd sing new Rÿche tunes. It's like they recorded Tate's vocals from back in the day and slapped it over top of a modern recording. Blah. Still glad Todd sounds powerful enough on the track, so there's nothing wrong with his skill, but I wanted something a bit more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Whether the new singer was trying too much or not to sound like Tate doesn't matter to me since I enjoyed it. The last Queensryche album I bought was Q2K. Tate sounded like Tate but the songs weren't enjoyable imho. That's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Here's a better version of Redemption (I think it was ripped directly from Sirius, so it's not as compressed as the original Youtube upload). Sounds great!! :haz:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3o7brTtbDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
