What does Queensryche sound like with a new mediocre guitarist? I remember listening to this album repeatedly to see if I liked it, then listened again months later. I still can't stand it. The lyrics don't really strike any chords and the music is nothing _but_ chords. It's bargain bin fodder.All of their albums up until Empire were great. Empire had some good songs. I even like "Promised Land" and "Hear in the Now" after that. Q2K and Tribe test my patience.
