I haven't rented it yet, but when I do I'll give it a review. A few stores around the country seem to still have it available as a rental. I hope I can find somewhere around here that has it and wouldn't mind selling it, like a lot of stores do with old, little-rented ones. Even if it did hit a little close to home. With the '90s comes a kinder, gentler Queensryche.
Empire replaces mindcrime's brittle chill with bone-softening warmth.
It's a collection of ten tracks, the theme this time being, simply, songs about love. Its presence, jarring among the album's serenity, shows that this seemingly sedate beast still has teeth. Logically this is the only album Queensryche could have made after mindcrime . It's an exploration of the less-destructive bent of our nature. The light side of the moon, if you will.
