This is one of those very rare albums that could be released in 2023 and if you didn't KNOW it was written 35 years ago, you would never guess it! An absolute Metal masterpiece! 🤘

sadly untrue, they dont make anything like this anymore. I know its not from modern times because it has a guitar, a build-up, a good singer, reverb, etc

This Band set the blueprints for all progmetal that came later. And this album is the "father" of Dream Theater's Scenes from a memory. Operation: Mindcrime is a masterpiece.

Scott Rockinfield. One of the most underrated drummers in the world!

GOOSEBUMPS STILL, 33 YEARS LATER

Wow!! I haven't listened to them in a while, almost forgot how good they sound. Pulling out all their CD's to re-listen. Saw then in Omaha May 1991 on their Building Empires Tour. They played the entire Mindcrime Album. So freaking Awesome!!!

I first saw Queensryche open for my other all time favorite band Metallica.Which was also my first time seeing them as well. I was blown away by Tate. Still one of the best Heavy Metal singers of all time and Operation Mindcrime is without a doubt one of their best Albums.

Some of the best music ever recorded, glad I got to see them 7 times.

Mindcrime is my favorite and it is my go to for driving long distances.

I never tire of listening to Queensryche's music, especially the early work, during the 1980s. I saw them open for KISS in 1985 and was blown away! Since then, they've always been one of my favorites. I had the honer of meeting Geoff Tate, Parker Lungren and Scott Rockenfield at the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle in 2011, before all the shit hit the fan, and was impressed with what super cool people they all are. One of the best experiences of my life!

My dream is for Queensrÿche to have a reunion with Geoff and Degarmo. And for them to to tour this album and have an encore of songs from past albums.

THAT Voice, THOSE Eyes... THOSE Leather Pants~~ I am Salivating, Dear God.what a GORGEOUS Man Geoff is THEN and NOW., and BEYOND TALENTED.THIS was QUEENSRYCHE and Always will be.

Tough but this is my favorite song on the album. So much pain and moral struggle. Exceptionally good band live!!!

Among all the great songs on Operation Mindcrime this is probably my favourite, even ahead of Eyes of a Stranger. Love how the intensity in the singing grows and how the whole song is a slowly building crescendo to the final chorus and then it finishes off with those fantastic last 20 seconds.

It s just amazing how they sound playing live. And i ll be forever grateful to my sister who told me they were coming to play Lisbon and she gave me the ticket. I saw many concerts but it was a huge surprise Queensryche coming to Portugal. And they played the whole Operation Mindcrime. One of the best concerts i saw. I was singing along from beggining till the end. No support band, just the good old Queensryche. Got all the momentos, pré, during and after, carved in my inner self

Eis um álbum q nenhum música é chata, pq cada música complementa a outra, melhor concerto e performance q já vi, e olha q já tem 30 anos esse concerto

I forgot how good this song was, with all the other greats on this album. Amazing, the way it builds in intensity and drama.

The Mission is my favorite song from this album. Damn, DeGarmo was a legend.

Wish Chris would join the group again. He's the one with that Progressive writing talent.

This is the best song in the 90's, sir.

Il live a Milano.. (Non questo) uno dei più bei live della mia vita!!

Geoff Tate is by FAR the best live vocalist EVER! PERIOD!

Chris DeGarmo was the heart and soul of this band.

I went to a Metallica and Justice for All concert back in the late 80's and Queensryche opened for them. I had no idea how awesome they were so I wasn't listening and bitching the whole time to get Metallica started. Yeah, I'm a dumb ass.

Saw the Ryche in '95 with Type O Negative opening up. Album back then was Promised Land. Must agree that Operation Mindcrime and Mindcrime 2 would make a helluva opera or even a movie!!!!!

One of there best IMHO.

I was already riding around in my Fiero (Bruh....) listening to "Rage For Order"when "Op:M/C" was released. I bought it before a two-hour roadtrip upstate, popped it in the player, spared a joint and spent the best two hours of my life driving high. (I don't recommend driving high now. That was 80s weed).

At there, I had heard another voice in heaven that had said: Leave her my people so that you will not share to her sins and so that you will not receive her plagues and since they have been piled up to as high as heaven, God has remembered her sins and thus share back to her what she had shared and share double back to her about what she had shared. Pour her a double portion using her own cup. Share to her as much torment and grief about the glory and luxury that she had shared about herself because in her heart she boasts: I sit throned as queen and I am not a widow and I will never mourn.

Bless me father for I have sinned
