On September 29 (if I remember the date correctly) I’m heading to Denver with my bro-in-law and friends to see Queensryche. I got to see them when they opened for Judas Priest last year, but I never really got into Queensryche all that much. I will say that live they were awesome (but every band is better live, IMO).
Anyway, since they’re doing their Operation: Mindcrime II tour, which will consist of them playing in their entirety both Operation: Mindcrime and Operation: Mindcrime II, my bro-in-law (who is a huge Queensryche fan) gave me both CDs so that I can become familiar with the music.
I’ve discovered that Queensryche is a band that grows on you. Originally, you hear them and you think, “It’s good but I probably won’t listen to it again.” Then you listen to it again and think, “It’s good but I probably won’t listen to it often.” Then you listen to it again and you think, “It’s great and I’ll listen to it again.” And suddenly you’re thinking, “Wow, this music is way better than I thought it was originally and I just listened to both albums three times in a row.”
But perhaps I’m just weird :-D
