The guitarists Chris Degarmo and Michael Wilton are phenomenal. When "Silent Lucidity" came out, I played this album, along with "Operation Mindcrime" relentlessly and became a huge fan of Queensrÿche. They are one of my absolute favorite bands.

@carybrauer9669 2 года назад

Queensryche is my favorite band ever! PERIOD! Geoffs voice in this song is very different. He has the best pure voice ever. He has 9 years of opera training. His voice is powerful, unreal vibrato, charisma, purity, word announcement, its rich and subtle too, its truly an fine tuned instrument. The harmony of this band is awesome. Everyone plays their instrument way above average. Chris DeGarmo in any other band would be a lead singer. All of their songs have profound meaning. Seen them 11 times and Geoff 2 times. Love this music.... dig more into the Ryche, I promise you will be astounded!

The Accoustic Guitar Part you are talking about is actually Electric Guitars played without Distortion.

@susanconstable2113 2 года назад

It was about the rise of drug empires in the 80s and young kids not having anywhere else to turn but to the drug empires. The part you were referring to with the talking was comparing what the government was spending at the time on everything and how by way of comparison law enforcement ranked last in spending. Maybe if they spent more the drug epidemic wouldn’t have been able to get so prevalent.

@tobiassabot5851 Год назад

In the mid to late eighties violent crime, especially drug related was a hugely growing problem and law enforcement budgets were way behind the curve. Later on we began to see a major increase in law enforcement spending, but arguably it wasn't all in the right areas. Particularly a lot of ex-military or paramilitary gear either used or intended for use by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan began to find it's way into law enforcement budgets. The world was also still very ignorant of a lot of the issues that have been revealed with mismanaged or corrupt law enforcement practices that have received a great deal of attention in recent years. I some ways things have changed and in other ways they haven't.

@@TedBrogan for sure it’s been gaining popularity because of those reactions, I agree. But in a way, that song for me, who knew very little about the band aside from silent lucidity (which I was meh for a long time), got me interested in going through their discography.

This song came out at the beginning of the crack cocaine epidemic and is a statement on how many people went down that path of dealing drugs and violence rather than education and standard jobs ect. The law enforcement statistics are to help illustrate how things got so far out of hand so quickly, especially in poverty stricken parts of the country.

@bernman23 2 года назад

It's an ironic critique/solution though, because the CIA/Bush Sr. started the crack epidemic in Compton, using it to fund coups abroad like in Nicaragua. Then Bush Sr. locked up those individuals in the war on drugs (which increased violent crime because they were radicalized in prison) to take their votes away because they'd be more apt to vote against the economic agenda (including empire) & use them for cheap labor. So I wonder if Queensryche would rewrite this song in retrospect.

"Promised Land", "Is There Anybody Listening" "Silent Lucidity" and "Out Of Mind" are all great songs in my humble opinion and worth of a reaction. "Someone Else" (the piano version, not the full band version) is beautiful and it is only the singer and a piano.. Regarding the middle part you were talking about, I dug up the lyrics for that: "In fiscal year nineteen eighty six to eighty seven Local, state and federal governments spent A combined total of sixty point six million dollars on law enforcement Federal law enforcement expenditures ranked last in absolute dollars And accounted for only six percent of all federal spending By way of comparison, the federal government spent twenty-four million more on space exploration And forty-three times more on national defense and international relations than the law enforcement"

Bruce Dickinson and Steve Perry. Never would think about that but I kinda see that here. haha.

Both albums Operation Mindcrime & Empire are amazing from cover to cover !! The lyrics, especially on Empire, are completely relevant today in pointing out political corruption and the divide between upper and middle classes as well as the turmoil and civil unrest in most countries nowadays. The band tackled great issues with their lyrics throughout both albums.

Geoff Tate has a fantastic voice, but yea I think he is intentionally using different on this song

@jasondunn7030 2 года назад

Best band I've ever seen live. I would suggest you watch the unplugged sessions to see the raw talent Tate has as a vocalist. I will remember is a good one. And great call on comparing him to Iron Maiden because they are similar and even toured together.

Great song. Talks about street life. Shocking reality that a lot of people are blind to.

Check out Best I Can from this album, you really get a sense of Geoff Tate’s incredible voice on that track.

@seandobson6221 2 года назад

This entire album is amazing. Della Brown, Jet City Woman, Another Rainy Night, Silent Lucidity. I still rock this album and will for time eternal. Geoff Tate’s vocals are unmatchable and the fact that Queensryche felt they could make it without Geoff shows who the intelligent ones were in the group.

Queensryche favorites of mine, Walk in the Shadows, Take Hold the Flame in conjunction with Child of Fire ( I'll always believe the two were meant to be heard together) and Prophecy. The whole Operation Mind Crime album. Just putting it out there.
