Review by Shezma for Queensrÿche - The Warning (1984)

I have unexpectedly put this on again and again lately. I may not listen to it all the way through every time, but I have enjoyed the time I've spent with this. As others have mentioned and will for ever I got introduced to Queensrÿche through Operation Mind Crime, which I still think is an absolute classic in heavy metal, and have even listened to their more recent albums and thoroughly enjoyed them too just not as much. However The Warning is one of the best debuts in the genre that I've heard in a while. I'll need to listen to this even more before I give it the full 5-star treatment and compare more to Mindcrime more but this is really enjoyable. Super catchy riffs and memorable moments through out. The vocals are so powerful with some heavy lyrics. I could go beat by beat, but it's just one of those albums that really should be gone in blind like I did and just let in envelope you and enjoy the journey. I'm glad to take this journey and force myself to these debuts and lesser known albums by historical bands because this really is a great history lesson for heavy metal nerds like me instead of just Mindcrime because I never really known much of their other stuff but this really does make me feel like I'm missing out.  -Also, how the hell did I lower the font size in this review?
