Album ranking, This fluctuates periodically for me. Presently I'd rate them as follows.
1) Rage for Order/ Operation Mindcrime ( a tie for first)
2) Warning
3) Promised Land/ Empire (this again is a tie)
4) Condition Human
5) Queensryche 2013
6) Tribe
7) EP (short duration, two songs are great, everybody knows which two)
8) HITNF/ Q2K (I call this tie as well)
9) Mindcrime II and Frequency Unknown by the Geoff Tate Band ( I call this a tie also)
10) American Soldier
11) DTC
That's how I see them these days. and I'm hopeful that in due time I will be able to slot the forthcoming Queensryche album in the tie position at #3 or #4, we shall see.
