Queensryche Rage For Order (1986) is not a concept album but it isn't hard to notice the similarity each song has. If you have any kind of imagination, you can see this album as a kind of dystopian science fiction story where technology has won and the government rules over all… sound familiar?
Songs:
Neue Regel (New World Order)
Screaming in Digital (Technocracy)
I Dream in Infrared (Transhumanism)
Walk in the Shadows (Vampirism)
Surgical Strike (Military Industrial complex and wars)
I'm not as familiar with that album. I am going to see Geoff Tate live this week (i.e the original singer of Queensryche….I was a big fan of them back in the day.)
I didn't listen to them until Rage for Order came out. I really liked Rage for Order and Operation Mindcrime. Although I am familiar with a few songs off of the Warning: (Take Hold of the Flame and NM 156).
I saw Queensryche last year with the new lead singer (La Torre) when they opened for Judas Priest…they played those two songs I think.
But now that you mentioned it, i will probably go back and listen very closely to the songs on the Warning.
