Well, that would explain Geoff's completely phoned in performance.
I feel like anyone accepting this album as anything but the farce it is is so hard up for "old days" Tate that they are seriously dropping their standards.
Furthermore... He mentions that "He" doesn't need the Queensryche name. The other guys need it, or something to that effect. Well, WTF? He's touring one Queensryche album in full this year, and next year, he's doing another. So who fucking needs the Queensryche name? He certainly needs the Queensryche material.
