Queensrÿche, Empire. (2021 Box Set). Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

How do you top an epic; to be frank it is virtually impossible, not unfeasible, but practically gruelling, an act that test the fortitude of even the greatest artists of all time.

If you look at some of the great Rock and Prog bands of all time, the action of producing what is in effect a masterpiece can have serious effects on the dynamic, can lead to serios questions being asked of the long-term direction of the group. Disaffection muddies still waters, and leads to break-ups, to the closing down of communication, and to the sore eyes of jealousy being opened and the terrible urge to destroy something beautiful becomes overwhelming.
