Has anyone here listened to this album? I absolutely love it

For people who don't know, it's a Rock Opera/concept album about a man becoming disillusioned with American society, and joining in a conspiratorial plot to assassinate its corrupt leaders. Anybody else listened to it?

Well, my brother got this a few years ago so I ripped it and gave it a listen through. I would say the first time I listened through it I was stunned. It was great. I love the message that it conveys. I find that right now I'd probably be more willing to just read through the lyrics than actually listen through the album again.

Musically though, it got old VERY fast. I haven't listened to it more than 3 times, as the 2nd time through it was actually exceedingly more dull than the first time. The 3rd or so time through I was just done. The only song I find myself even able to still listen to is Speak. I love the riff at the beginning.

It is a MUST see live performance. It's quite entertaining.

Classic album. One of Queensrÿche's best.

I've always been partial to "I Don't Believe in Love" and "Eyes of a Stranger."
