I got burnt out on "Empire." They seemed to have released almost every song on there and played the heck out of it on the radio. Never really listened to them since. The coolest thing about that album was the tour that followed. Livecrime was just unbelievable!!! I have my doubts about this one, though. "I'm American" does not impress me... "Hostage" seems a little closer to the Queensryche that I know and love.... knew and loved... They inspired me enough to spend more than a thousand bucks on an ESP... well, them and Lynch!
