+ rage for order, cet album me bluffe encore à chaque écoute pour son aspect novateur, les ambiances et les lignes vocales de Tate ( "I dream in infra-red" ).
Mais grosso modo jusque Promised Land inclus ( ou pas pour certains)tout est indispensable.
Nouvel album annoncé, sur lequel on retrouvera beaucoup d'invités là encore, comme Blaze, Ripper, Ellefson et d'autres mecs connus qu'on voit partout.
Frontiers Music Srl will release "Resurrection", the new album from OPERATION: MINDCRIME, the band led by former QUEENSRŸCHE singer Geoff Tate, on September 23.
"Resurrection" is the second part of Tate's musical trilogy. One year after the release of the debut album in September 2015, OPERATION: MINDCRIME continues in the spirit of the historic album of the same name, spawning concepts as grand as the music, and intertwining the intensity of the former QUEENSRŸCHE vocalist's iconic past with the provocative, progressive mindset that has made him one of music's most resolute forces and frontmen.
"The album 'Resurrection' is the second part of our three album presentation or trilogy," explains Tate. "It continues the story that began on the first album 'The Key' with the near death experience of the lead character known as 'H' and his subsequent recovery of the missing encryption key. With the Key finally in his possession, 'H' has everything he needs to finally launch his long awaited project called 'The New Reality'. Or does he..."
Tate continues: "I'm excited for people to hear and experience 'Resurrection' because I think it answers some of the questions that were posed in the first album, 'The Key'. Musically, it offers some of the most diverse and challenging material that I've ever written."

La dernière vaut le coup pour le trio des "ex", Tate, Blaze et Ripper ensemble
Le titre est pas mal, comparé aux 2 autres passables. Dans le clip on voit qu'il enterre Queensrÿche, comme si c'était derrière lui, mais dans les faits ces chansons empruntent beaucoup à Queensrÿche...
I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun
Colors bleed but never fade
Le groupe a d'ailleurs embarqué Blaze et Ripper pour une tournée spéciale "ex-" en cours aux USA, sous le nom de Trinity.
En fait il s'agit juste de reprises, avec une setlist de titres archi-connus pour la plupart antérieurs à leur arrivée dans leurs groupes respectifs pour Blaze et Ripper. Mais le pire ce sont les guitaristes toujours aussi nuls (tonalité pourrie, jeu sans âme, solos de Maiden et Priest massacrés), c'est limite si Ripper (à la guitare sur "Living After Midnight") ne joue pas mieux qu'eux
Que sont-ils allés faire dans cette galère? C'est juste la triple loose.

"I wanted to have an open-door policy where really great players could come in, contribute and also do other projects. I just called all the people I really respect that I've met over the years, asked them to be part of it and gave them all the material I've written.
"We did one really massive session and recorded everything. I've just been finishing it over the years."
Nouvel album, le dernier de la trilogie.
Je ne sais pas quoi dire sur l'extrait à part que le mix est horrible...

Ça sonne comme du DGM pour ceux qui connaissent car c'est le guitariste de ce groupe italien qui compose.

Geoff Tate annoncé qu'il va sortir le 3ème volet d'Operation Mindcrime...
Tate discussed his plans for "Operation: Mindcrime III" in a new interview with "Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen And Shane McEachern". Speaking about the musical direction of his new solo material, Geoff said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I would say it has more of an early QUEENSRŸCHE feel. [The new songs are] super heavy, and some of 'em are incredibly technical. They're like algebra. [Laughs] You need a calculator when you're listening to the song. [Laughs] And, of course, some of them are very emotional. It's the last chapter in the 'Mindcrime' series. So it's following the exploits of Dr. X and Nikki and Sister Mary, and picks up at a particular point in their story and kind of does the microscope of what is happening at that particular time with them. And I am just in love with it. I am so happy with everything so far, and I can't wait for people to hear it."
Asked if there will once again be "some of those political interplays" within the lyrical themes on "Operation: Mindcrime III", Tate said: "Oh, I think so. Yeah, I think that people will be able to detect little bits of what's happening around them. And it's an interesting time right now — very interesting. Especially next week [after the 2024 U.S. presidential election], it's gonna be really interesting [laughs] what happens. So, we'll see."
Pressed about whether "a familiar voice" will play Dr. X on "Operation: Mindcrime III", Geoff said: "I can't tell you, actually. But thanks for asking. [Laughs]"
