2.5 average | Fernando Alves STAFF | June 28th 12 | Despite some enjoyable moments, unfortunately at this point the band have passed their prime.

2.0 poor | Robbit | October 5th 17 | Q2K finds Queensryche completely lost in the northwestern woods and apparently trying very hard NOT to be the same (heavy metal) band that I loved in the early 80s. There are some heavy guitars and aggressive moments amidst the grunge inspired balladry ("Burning Man"), but there's little else here I'd choose to revisit. Q2K takes us further along the road they began with PROMISED LAND and HEAR IN THE NOW FRONTIER, but seems even more resolved to abandon their once winning formula. It didn't help their songwriting department to have Chris DeGarmo leave the band before this record, but he seemed equally clueless about where the band was heading anyhow. This all reminds of when David St. Hubbins chose to take Spinal Tap in a more improvisational Jazz direction....

0.0 | mandan | June 19th 13 | Most QR fans believe that by this point (and many of them gave up even by Hear in the Now Frontier, and some even by Promised Land) the band was kaput. In the end, where you stand on the issue is subjective. Having said that, I'll admit that this album isn't stellar nor fantastic. It's simply an album, one that may prove enjoyable to some listeners, but may seem as a waste of time to others. What matters is that, from now on, the band wouldn't make anything impressive. And that's a shame. Recommended for diehard fans only.rrPersonal Rating: 3.3
