Time Signature
Almost cut my hair...

Genre: heavy metal

While a great rock band with a lot of great original releases (and some less impressive ones, to be sure), Queensrÿche do not give the impression of being a great cover band - at least not on this release.

Now, I like cover versions and reinterpretations, but most of the tracks on this album strike me as not doing justice to the originals, and most of them come across to my ears as being, well, kind of bland.

The version of Queen's 'Innuendo', pretty much reflects the entire album; it never reaches the level of brilliance of the original and nor does it come across as an interesting reinterpretation of the original. This applies to most of the tunes on the album, with Queensrÿche's version of 'Neon Knights' - which I think is pretty good - as the sole exception.

Not my favorite Queensrÿche album, and not an album I would recommend as an introduction to the band.
