Album Review:
After tasting success from both their self-titled debut EP and The Warning,
Queensryche lost their edge a bit on this release. The hair metal movement was
fast approaching and this once-unique band now looked -- and for the most part,
sounded -- like the average metal band of the day. The signature sound of
Queensryche is still unmistakable, as Geoff Tate's voice sounds strong. The
music here is simpler than on Warning; the lyrics are bit too heavy-handed and
have not stood the test of time very well. "Walk in the Shadows" is a
well-structured song with a good combination of Tate's howling and dramatic
background vocals. "I Will Remember" was a precursor to "Silent Lucidity" and
accentuated the power and emotion that Tate can evoke. The band was obviously
trying to expand their approach to music with a heavy emphasis on theatrics, but
the music suffered as a result. They succeeded with this approach to a certain
extent on Operation: Mindcrime, but the band's musical limitations have always
prevented them from moving beyond a classier version of Iron Maiden. [The 2003
reissue of Rage for Order included both 24-bit remastering and four bonus
tracks.]
