 (4 Customer Reviews)
Touring in support of TRIBE, the band focused on new material, a testament to the strength of its Sanctuary Records debut. Unplugged interpretations of "My Global Mind" and "Roads to Madness" work wonderfully in their acoustic forms, and fit neatly into the set as well. The TRIBE tour also found Queensryche dusting off the remarkable EMPIRE closer "Anybody Listening?," studiously enhanced by touring guitarist Mike Stone. Stone's impressive vocal harmonies fill the long-absent void left by founding member Chris DeGarmo, proving the newcomer's worth and rounding out another excellent Queensryche performance.
As a band known for studio perfectionism, Queensryche has never impulsively released live recordings. Each concert album has served a pointed task -- LIVECRIME (1991) proved the quintet capable of flawlessly recreating its MINDCRIME suite, while LIVE EVOLUTION (2001) offered a career retrospective up to that point. Released 20 years after the group's first record, THE ART OF LIVE is a sonic snapshot of Queensryche in 2004.

Queensryche Art Of Live Songs Art Of Live Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   An excellent showcase of newer material
This live album deserves an honorable mention for the quality of the performances and its song selection. The Art of Live covers Queensryche's newer material, namely the Tribe album, and features some excellent acoustic performances. The band definitely rocks throughout and Tate is in fine form. For those of you who enjoy Queensryche's newer material, this is an excellent addition for your Queensryche collection.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  this is not a good album at all
It pains me to say this as I am a HUGE 'ryche fan. This album stinks.
The production is poor. Did the guy who mixed this album fall asleep or was he just under the influence?The performances average at best. I have a hard time believing the guys even released this. Definitely not their best. This is their worst. Live Evolution was way better. The Art of Live sucks...pure and simple.

What happened to these guys? I saw the video of this on a free-view. This stinks. If I paid to see this, I'd be pissed. The songs are sung in a mellow, "hippie" style -- almost spoken. This album should be titled, "The Art of How To Get A Life Past Your Prime".

QUEEN OF THE OCEAN is a fireworks display of symphonic progressive art rock and metal, combining diversified arrangements with crystal clear hook lines and melodic vocals which leave an indelible impression. Lana Lane's typical trademark is her soaring vocals, which the press describe as "clear" and "expressive", as well as "sad", "dramatic" and "angelic". QUEEN OF THE OCEAN follows in the noble footsteps of Lana Lane's three previous studio albums, LOVE IS AN ILLUSION, CURIOUS GOODS and GARDEN OF THE MOON.A large part of the brilliant result must be credited to producer Erik Norlander, Lana's longtime musical and personal partner. Norlander produced QUEEN OF THE OCEAN in his own Walden West Recorder Studio near Los Angeles, and he also played all the keyboard parts on the album. Norlander explains that this time, he used Mellotron and Minimoog keyboards - cult instruments since the early Seventies - and the inimitable sound of an original Hammond organ - more than ever before. In contrast to the previous albums, for which the tracks of the individual instruments were often recorded in very different studios, Lana Lane decided that this time all of the recording sessions would take place within her own small microcosm. The album's guitar parts were played by a veritable six-string armada. The flagship is Neil Citron, the band's masterful lead guitarist and a musician of breathtaking technique with a definitive feeling for melodic hooks. Female guitarist Danelle Kern was responsible for the heavy rhythm guitar, and Mark McCrite added his own colourful acoustic parts.However, job allocation wasn't all that strictly adhered to, with Citron playing an excellent rhythm guitar on the tracks "Rainbow's End" and "Frankenstein Unbound". The most renowned Lana Lane band member is certainly bass player Tony Franklin, whom insiders will know from his time with The Firm or Blue Murder (feat. John Sykes). Franklin plays a mean bass on QUEEN OF THE OCEAN, giving the album, in combination with the accentuated drumming of Tommy Amato, a very individual, atmospheric sound.QUEEN OF THE OCEAN audibly follows an unusual, very demanding concept, in which numerous guitar licks are combined with two or more string instruments, wind instruments or Moog parts. You find contrapuntal passages alongside polyphonic lines. And Franklin's grooving bass enhances the songs with a flowing movement. The crowning point of all the songs is, however, the impressive vocals of Lana Lane. Her style of singing combines technique with passion, resulting in an inimitable voice as every note she sings reflects not only her love of all kinds of melodic rock ...
