Time Signature
Queen of the Rÿche...

Genre: heavy metal

There are inklings of the later Queensrÿche originality on this EP, which contains five, if not always top notch, then at least solid 80s style - yet original - tunes (although there are some bloopers which were not fixed).

In any case, the Queensrÿche EP certainly deserves the classic status it has received, and tracks like "Queen of the Reich" and "The Lady Wore Black" are instant classics, which, despite the obvious 80s sound, have a quality of timelessness to them. The remaining tracks may sounds more dated, but they are still quite good and, despite imperfections, a sign of the times to come for this band, who would end up progressive metal giants.

Recommended to all fans of Maiden-style 80s metal.
