I actually bought the special edition a few days back. Haven't listened to it yet. After looking around on various forums, now I'm kind of dreading listening to it. But so be it.

I like the album cover. So there's one positive at least.  :lol

Saw this review on Amazon:

"Another name for feces"

 :rollin I think that sums it up.

Btw, I asked my brother if he liked any of the songs on DTC and he simply said, "Not one."

Very frustrating to see this happen to QR.  This is a band that made amazing music that made them stand out from the rest of the pack; they were also seemingly well respected by musicians from all genres.  The decline has been obvious and pointed out to by fans since HITNF.  The fanbase is dwindling to shockingly low numbers; this same fanbase would have remained if QR put out full solid discs-instead of inconsistency.  Reading the horrific reviews should be a wake up call for the band.

As a fan of Queensrcyche, I have to say, I'm actually insulted by this release. To think I actually stood up for them while they put together this heap. I know I was the one who was saying, "They don't owe us anything." But this is just insulting to their fans. It really is. Yes, I gave it one more shot. And it's a 0 out of 10.

It causes me great pain that a band I worshipped has sunk so far. I would rate it a t 3/10, just because the first song is ok and the U2 song is fairly catchy.  :sad: The rest is plain awful. I'm going to have to play Mindcrime now to get rid of the memory.

Congratulations to Samsara for getting one of the most helpful reviews on Amazon!

Of course...it's an unfortunate honor, but still, good going. Nice review.

The lyrics. I seriously cannot get over those lyrics. Most of them sound like a bunch of old, grumpy men shaking their fist angrily at some kids and puncturing their football out of spite.

And they are horribly written too. Seriously, that second song alone actually made me dumber.

Listened to this thing a couple of times now.  "Retail Therapy" and "At the Edge" are great songs.  The rest is pure garbage.  One of my favorite bands, but yeah, the 1 and 2 star ratings are correct.

I will say this.  There is an extremely highly probable chance that I will never listen to the physical copy of DTC ever again in my life.  I actually hate this "thing".  I will listen to "Retail Therapy" and "At the Edge" on a semi regular basis on my ipod; both are very good songs and the only two that stood out to me on the disc.  The disc itself will become a dust collector from this point forward.  Who is this crapola supposed to cater too? Seriously.  It alienated 99% of their fanbase.  It possibly, and this estimate is being very generous, will garner them maybe one dozen new fans throughout the world.

Got that right. I too will never listen to this piece of crap again. I might single out At the Edge. But that's it. I feel like they took my money and gave me nothing in return.

AllMusic gave Rage for Order only 2 stars and gave Take Cover 3.5 stars, so I wouldn't exactly call their reviews definitive.

Manager Susan Tate, who's married to singer Geoff Tate and has been handling QUEENSRŸCHE for about 10 years, says, "QUEENSRŸCHE doesn't want to put their name on as many things as they can. There's a quality to them, and they really care about their music. It's not about, 'How can we sell out as quick as possible and make the most money that we can?'"

Well, i'm sure they're convinced Dedicated to Chaos is of high artistic quality.

Wait, that makes it even funnier.

A lousy 8,000 copies sold in the US compared with 21,000 for American Soldier.

I'm surprised it charted, honestly.  As far as 80s metal bands go, Queensryche was never the most popular, and you'd think more fans would be hesitant to buy new QR now...

It's amazing to watch the decline. When DT and QR toured together their popularity was crossing (DT up and QR down) and now it looks like Symphony X is doing the same. They charted at 76 with Iconoclast and will be more popular than Queensryche on the live circuit very soon.

Ahh, but it's the old fans' fault for wanting the same old thing! The band isn't allowed to grow and change. My point of view is they are allowed, they just can't complain if they don't take the fans with them.
