No. That just made the whole thing sound even worse didn't it? Not really sure why and I acknowledge I'm probably missing out on an essential release or two, but they've always been a band I've never felt inspired to check out. One day I will probably change that and most likely kick myself, but when that will be I have no idea.

 Actually I have the album (OM) and always thought it over-rated, which is probably a greater heresy in the metal world.

Okay this is probably going to sound bad, but...
I've never heard Operation Mindcrime. Not even a single song. And... I'd never even heard of The Crimson Idol before this thread was made. I'll just run away and hide now.

Voted for O:M, I was never much of a WASP fan, though they have a few decent tunes. And yes, I have heard Crimson Idol, a buddy of mine I used to be in a band with is a big WASP fan. We used to play Widowmaker in that band.

QUeensryche for me, but i love all the 80s WASP albums and Crimson Idol is a masterpiece that needs to be heard by everyone! A very close second

I am shocked at the number of people who have not heard The Crimson Idol. Top 3 (or even best) WASP album.
I will vote for it in protest (and to avoid the trouble of choosing between them!)

Love Mindcrime, but never heard Crimson Idol. Should fix that soon.

Wasp didn't fuck The Crimson Idol by releasing The Crimson Idol II.
I first heard "The Needle Lies" from Operation: Mindcrime on a compilation and loved it. So when I bought the actual album, I found it a bit disappointing. I did eventually get into it though. Crimson Idol was similar, a bit of a slow starter, but it's got chainsaws in it, so it wins.

I enjoy WASP but Queensryche get my vote - a classic for sure.

Haven´t heard Crimson Idol, so I can´t vote. WASP was just not a band I grew up with, although I knew of their existence. I´ll make amends at some point.

Little while ago, I saw an argument on another metal forum as which one of these two albums is better and so on, so I thought I should ask you, too.
Two excellent concept albums, but which one satisfies you more? I have always listened to The Crimson Idol more, but O:M is a monster album as well, no vote from me for now, it's definitely a head scratcher  (I'm inventing words, sorry about that).Edited by LittleBig - 02 Aug 2015 at 4:32am |
