Click over to their newly designed website and have a listen to some samples :: http://www.queensryche.com/
This Is NOT the Classic 'ryche I fell in love with years ago, even with Chris de Garmo back. Just like Metallica and Def Leppard, it sounds as if these veterans have reached their limit.
To me it sounds like a cross between 'Promised Land' and 'Hear in the Now Frontier'; heavy in some parts, somber in others, but it just doesn't have the power or the melody as 'Rage to Order' and 'Operation:Mindcrime'.
Still, worth listening to the samples to gauge for yourself...serious die hards might go for it, but I've moved on to other bands like KAMELOT!!!
