Info:
With the rise of alternative music, the climate into which Queensryche released "Promised Land" was very different. The album fared poorly and was negatively received by audiences, who seemed to be regressing in the face of new musical movements-- indeed, hope that the band would retread the past rather than move forward has been a common thread for Queensryche. But instead, they embraced change and created what a small minority consider to be their true masterpiece-- an album successfully fusing the progressive influences wiht the metal sound the band had honed without sounding pretentious, overblown, or pointless.
