Operation:Mindcrime vs The Crimson Idol

My second listen to Rage for Order didn't really do anything to change my mind about it, to be honest. It's good but I don't see it being an album I'll pull off my shelf too often. I expect I'll still try out Mindcrime though, probably sooner rather than later now and probably The Warning as well. 

^You´re both crazy

Rage For Order is actually my favorite Queensryche album. Everybody tells me I'm crazy that I like it better than O:M

I remember shifting both down to US Power when the sub was added, but I haven't tried them yet. A lot of acts usually counted as USPM are on the site but in other subs, including Queensrÿche, but so far only ones that were already in power have been moved. I have no problem moving early Queensrÿche there, though I personally feel a bit stronger about early Fates Warning after hearing Awaken the Guardian. 

Yeah there's certainly the same kind of melodic element there that Crimson Glory has and their debut at least is often included in USPM lists.

It didn't exactly blow me away on first listen, but maybe it'll grow on me. 

Must be some kind of omen but today I was digging around a used CD shop and came across Rage for Order for £3. That's the sort of incentive to try a band I like. Haven't played it yet though. They also had Promised Land but I had limited cash on me and there were a couple of other albums I wanted so I basically took pot luck on which Queensrÿche to get.

I'd never even heard of The Crimson Idol before this thread was made. I'll just run away and hide now.  Have you heard any Queensryche?  No.  That just made the whole thing sound even worse didn't it? Not really sure why and I acknowledge I'm probably missing out on an essential release or two, but they've always been a band I've never felt inspired to check out. One day I will probably change that and most likely kick myself, but when that will be I have no idea.

I haven't even heard that much of both albums. Neither bands really interest me that much bu from what I heard Mindcrime was better. I especially don't listen to QR that much because they just bore me sometimes. I do enjoy their first EP which was very fun.
