First of all, I still don't have the slightest clue how to do umlauts on the computer. Stupid umlauts. Anyway, I apologize about that, there should be one over the "y" in Queensryche. Queensryche is something of an odd band for me to be into. They are a progressive metal band, at least in the early years, but a lot of the aggression left the band in the mid to late 1980's. They are very melodic, fitting in with the state of metal during the time period.This album is one of the albums where the band became progressively poppier. It's not a problem though, they still had one more good full length album in them after this before they completely went to crap. This one is filled with power ballads for the most part. "Silent Lucidity" is one of their bigger hits and combined with "Jet City Woman", "Another Rainy Night (Without You)", "Della Brown", "Hand on Heart", and "One and Only" almost completely fills the album with power ballads. Not bad when I am in a more mellow mood, or when Mrs. shadowking86 is around. There are some harder songs on the album as well. "Empire" and "Resistance" are heavier straightahead rockers. All in all, I like this album, but definitely not as much as the earlier stuff like Operation: Mindcrime.
