If you aren't moved by Out of Mind, then you don't have a soul! It has really heartfelt and poignant lyrics, a very dark and moody vibe, and one of Degarmo's most emotional solos. It's a great example of why Queensryche were considered the thinking man's rock band. Promised Land takes you on a journey and while this track goes to the most painful and depressing places, the album wouldn't be nearly as powerful without it.
And I am also annoyed that Disconnected is already gone.
