First things first - that's what they say ;) 9:28 a.m.. I put Real World in here because I always treated that track like it would be on Promised Land. It was recorded during Promised Land sessions. Promised Land is the last Queensryche album that I found listenable from start to finish... ;) Only two songs from Promised Land goes into the finals! 3rd one into the consolations.

My god, this album is excellent.  :hefdaddy
Loved how immersive & ambient it was. Honestly, it may even be better than Operation: Mindcrime for me, but it's hard tell because (besides having only just listened to it) I like both for completely different reasons. Regardless, this album is a new favourite.

Ranking's going to be tough, but I don't think there's any contest on which song's the least favourite.

(there's 13 spots because I'm going to be including both versions of Someone Else because they're both awesome)

Edit: forgot bold whoops

Yeah, the intro.

I've never heard Real world.

This album is fantastic. I've been listening to it for seven years, but just recently I found out how truly excellent it is. Right behind O:M for me.

Obvious vote is obvious.

I don't think Real World should be here though, because Last Time in Paris wasn't in the Empire survivor either .

Honestly, even though Real World isn't on the official album, I think it works quite well in an alternate ordering between Out Of Mind & Bridge. I also include the full version of someone else in between Lady Jane & My Global Mind. I think both work well in terms of the album's pacing, but I'll need to listen to it more times to really see if they're good placements.

Now if only I could stop replaying this album. I just finished it for the 3rd time in a row.  :lol

This album has always been special to me and I Love it immensely, It is a top three album in the catalog in my mind along with Mindcrime and Rage. Seeing the Promised Land tour in the front row was the highlight of my being a Queensryche fan and was the greatest concert I ever attended (I've been to over 300 concerts).  :metal

I guess I'll go with the short introduction 9:28 for the first cut.

Putting Real World in the mix just made it tough for my personal number 1.
