^Never been my favorite either, but as mentioned above it has a pretty cool futuristic atmosphere that I enjoy. You´d be surprised if you give Operation Mindcrime a chance. It´s very different to Rage for Order IMO.

I'm actually wondering if Rage for Order even belongs under prog metal here, after hearing it.

Kind of proggy in Places, but US power wouldn´t be wrong either IMO. The same with the debut.
 
But Queensrÿche was never an overtly progressive act. Even their most proggy tracks aren´t exactly "Dream Theater prog metal". It´s melodic US power with proggy leanings.

Yeah there's certainly the same kind of melodic element there that Crimson Glory has and their debut at least is often included in USPM lists.

I just remembered that I thought of a couple of other recommendations for you in that genre. Heir Apparent and Lethal.

I remember shifting both down to US Power when the sub was added, but I haven't tried them yet. A lot of acts usually counted as USPM are on the site but in other subs, including Queensrÿche, but so far only ones that were already in power have been moved. I have no problem moving early Queensrÿche there, though I personally feel a bit stronger about early Fates Warning after hearing Awaken the Guardian.

I personally wouldn´t mind the first three Fates Warning albums moved to US power, but it´s not my decision to make.

Rage For Order is actually my favorite Queensryche album. Everybody tells me I'm crazy that I like it better than O:M

My second listen to Rage for Order didn't really do anything to change my mind about it, to be honest. It's good but I don't see it being an album I'll pull off my shelf too often. I expect I'll still try out Mindcrime though, probably sooner rather than later now and probably The Warning as well.
