QUEENSRYCHE SURVIVOR 2017 - Operation: Mindcrime II - round 7

[The Silent Cody]

10. OPERATION: MINDCRIME II

Operation: Mindcrime II is the ninth studio album by Queensr˙che. It is a concept album and the sequel to the group's 1988 release, Operation: Mindcrime, which had achieved both critical and commercial success. Mindcrime II was released on April 4, 2006 in the United States, on March 29 in Japan, on March 31 in Germany, and on April 3 in the rest of world, with the Rhino Entertainment label providing distribution. Following the split between Geoff Tate and the rest of Queensr˙che in 2012, it was revealed in a sworn declaration by producer Jason Slater that the album received very limited contributions from the band members aside from Tate and Mike Stone. Much of the music was recorded by studio musicians due to conflicts between Tate and his band mates. Drummer Scott Rockenfield did not play on the album at all. As well, most of the guitars, including Michael Wilton's tracks, were re-recorded by engineer Mitch Doran. Some of the bass tracks used are demo recordings played by Slater, while the drum track to "I'm American" is a MIDI recording made by Doran that was not originally intended for use on the final album

LINE-UP:
- Geoff Tate - vocals
- Mike Stone - guitar, vocals
- Jason Slater - bass, drums, backing vocals and maybe even more

- Ashif Hakik - orchestration, keyboards, guitars again

We have a tie in a tiebreaker so I decided that both songs will be out now. I was thinking about putting them again into the next round but Your votes probably would be the same so it does have no sense at all. If I Could Change It All is next pick.

[The Silent Cody]

Yeah, I liked All The Promises too...

[Mladen]

If I Could Change It All is a good choice.

[Dittomist]

I can't believe All the Promises is already gone! 
C'mon c'mon, let's take a ride and vote out Fear City Slide (or A Junkie's Blues) because If I Could Change it All needs to survive!
