    Perfection! Just listened to Empire last night. The entire album is a masterpiece! Is there anybody listening? I've been listening for 34 years!!!

    I beg you to go down this rabbit hole.
    Im 53, ive seen legends live and none of them coupd touch this band in the early 90's. Their shows were long and sounded like the albums. Certainly the greatest vocalists ove ever heard live.

      Prefer them to Dream Theater. The next album is awesome too (Promised Land). And the previous too (Operation mindcrime).
      The perfect mix between metal and prog.

    Awesome, "Anybody Listening?" is one of my most favorite Queensrÿche songs! 💖 I went to high school with Geoff and we became good friends our senior year and for a several years after but slowly lost touch and we haven't talked in a few decades.

      WHHHHHHAAAAATTTTT????? 😵🤯 That's amazing!! Imagine being able to say "I was friends with the singer of Silent Lucidity"? Oh wait, you don't have to imagine!! Hopefully I will get a video up someday of me singing it, I've loved singing that one since it came out. Glad I reacted to one of your favorite QR songs today. I've loved the few that I've heard here, especially Suite Sister Mary!

    Hi Brandon. Good, but a bit heavy for me. You've said a few times you like the dark melancholic stuff. You've really got to get into IQ. I've mentioned 'Ever' in your time frame. The two last tracks are a gorgeous finish 'Leap of faith' and 'Came Down' particularly. You'll love it! (18+mins). There's a showing from 4 yrs ago on YT which adds on a banging live version of 'The Darkest Hour' (another 11 mins.) A lot is very Banksish and majestic.

    • @retroreactions....
      @retroreactions....  Před 27 dny

      Hi there. I know IQ's turn is coming again soon. I will add your votes for the songs you've mentioned. I think we already discussed this, but you know I've done reactions to 5 IQ songs already right? Have a great day!

    • @grahamharley4895
      @grahamharley4895 Před 27 dny +1

      I know you have my friend, memory's shot away. Only one I remember is Darkest hour from a while back. If you only do one, 'Came Down' has it all.

    • @retroreactions....
      @retroreactions....  Před 23 dny

      Hmmm... on Spotify "Came Down" is only about 6 minutes, not 18+. Are there 2 versions of the song?

    • @grahamharley4895
      @grahamharley4895 Před 23 dny +1

      Sorry Brandon, vino suspected... Yes 'Came down' only 6+mins. I include 'Leap of Faith' 7mins mainly because it runs into came down seamlessly. Good track though. 'Further Away' with a Genesis time signature developing in the middle as magnificent. At 15mins, a great stand alone piece?
      You'd do well with any combination. but for me 'Came Down' is the absolute star! Can't wait.

    • @retroreactions....
      @retroreactions....  Před 22 dny

      OK, so Came Down and Leap of Faith are your suggestions. Good news, I've already done Further Away! (and also The Darkest Hour) Here is link to Further Away: czcams.com/video/UDHC3dRnRXc/video.html
