1627 Queensrÿche - Eyes of a Stranger

1627 Queensrÿche - Eyes of a Stranger

From: Operation: Mindcrime, Year: 1988
Genre: Progressive Metal

For some reason I had the urge to listen to Operation: Mindcrime last night and this morning and I thought I'd pick a track off of the album today as well.
Eyes of a Stranger is the last song on this epic concept album and really does an awesome job of wrapping up the story. This song deals with the main character, Nikki, remembering all that has happened and what he's done.
I love how they make use of minor chords to set and compliment the mood in this one. As always, Geoff Tate's vocals are one of the main highlights; he adds a lot of emotion with his powerful vocals.
