Queensryche Condition Hüman

2015, For those of you who live under a rock, Queensrÿche is a band that took the world by storm in 1983 with their near-perfect single ,,Queen Of The Reich" and their self-titled EP, followed by the also impressive THE WARNING a year later. Gaining a considerable amount of fans in the following years, the band then achieved critical acclaim with OPERATION: MINDCRIME, a conceptual album that is widely considered to be one of the best albums in heavy metal history. CONDITION HÜMAN is very much alike its predecessor, continuing with the arrangements well received by the fans in their 2013 ´comeback`. We can easily see the will to please old fans right away with ,,Arrow Of Time". ,,Guardian" comes after that with a cool vibe, offering at times memories from ,,NM 156" because of the mechanic-like melodies, but stands on its own with a nice solo and a catchy chorus. ,,Hellfire" and ,,Eye9" keep up with the good pace, featuring strong melodies and crystal-clear production, especially in the latter.
