Queensryche - Take Cover CD


Our Price: $10.49 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

Queensryche have a knack for keeping their fans guessing. A case in point: the band followed up their lofty, concept-driven MINDCRIME II album with a distinct break from their serious side in the form of TAKE COVER. This all-covers set features a decidedly eclectic mix of song choices, from the logical (Pink Floyd, Dio-era Black Sabbath) to the tangential (one show tune and an operatic aria, both clearly inspired by dramatic singer Geoff Tate) to the questionable (Philly soul and '60s protest songs). Still, uneven as it may be, the album gives Queensryche fans a chance to experience the group having some genuine fun for a change.

2007 release, a collection of covers from the one and only Queensryche. The band that brought you Operation: Mindcrime now bring you a project that could be called Operation: Coverversion. Includes Queensryche's interpretations of tracks from Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Buffalo Springfield and even some Broadway thrown in for good measure. Rhino.

Authors: Geoff Tate; Scott D. Rock; Michael Wilton; Mike Stone .

Personnel: Kelly Gray, Michael Wilton (guitar); Leopoldo Larsen (keyboards).

3 stars Sample This KenanKelly
These 30 second samples don't do the CD justice KenanKelly. Queensryche took some daring chances by covering some of these classics. Like: For What It's Worth, For The Love Of Money, etc. But the disc is worth picking up for their covers of U2 (Bullet), Red Rain (Gabriel) Synchronicity (The Police) and others. Give the disc a listen on a really good sound system, ( think over & over again that this is the group that did Silent Lucidity ) you'll see it's one of a kind as a whole.
