Reviews Customer Reviews for The Warning      STILL ROCKS!      Rating:      this album was released 24 years ago, so is it REALLY fair to judge this by the recording standards and musicianship of today as one reviewer did? Do we penalize Queensryche because advancements have been made in recording technology? This is a good album and the songs still stand up well. The title track is killer. That Mr. Tate has some set of pipes! This album will make a fine addition to any metal collection. Oh yeah, I'm not going to badmouth my Jimi Hendrix albums even if great strides have been made in recording technology and musicianship since Jimi's heyday. Why you ask? Because I still love the SONGS and I'm not going to let technology, or lack thereof, get in the way of that. But hey, that's just me! [...]     Customer Reviews for The Warning Cd      Com'on folks...let's be realistic and honest here,      Rating:      While I used to love Queensryche back in the day, this album just hasn't aged well. Between the mid-'80s production (despite the remaster) and the relatively simple musicianship (by today's standards), this album is just not that good. Yeah, it's good ol' Geoff Tate and all, but if you're looking for something more modern and very similar in sounding to classic Queensryche, check out the early releases of Kamelot. The first two [Eternity (1995) & Dominion (1997)] especially, with the vocalist Mark Vanderbilt, who sounds a lot like Tate. In fact, when I listen to those two albums, I swear I'm listening to a couple long lost Queensryche albums. And before you all go off on me, I'll preface my review with the fact that I've been a metal head since 1987. However, I will admit that I didn't get into Queensryche until after the Empire album was released. It's just that as a mid-30 something aging metal head, as I go back and listen to some of these early '80s albums again, and even early '90s albums for that matter, they just don't hold up very well, in terms of production and musicianship by today's standards. I know that's a bit repetative, but let's face it, today's musicianships push their playing to the limit and these slower, less complicated albums of past just leave something less desired. Anyway,
