Queensryche – Rage For Order (LP Vinyl)

Rage For Order arrived in 1986 as Queensrÿche's most ambitious statement yet, pushing the Seattle band's progressive metal instincts into genuinely strange, synth-laced territory that set them apart from every other act on the MTV heavy metal circuit. The album's cold, dystopian textures and Geoff Tate's operatic vocals pointed directly toward the concept album masterwork that Empire of Mind would become just a few years later. For collectors, this one occupies a singular place in the band's catalog, the moment their sound crystallized into something no one else was doing.
