"Operation Mindcrime" was Queensrÿche´s breakthrough album, garnering the band commercial and critical success. Arguably their best release, this is a complex, ambitious effort, with top-notch music and a complicated storyline (a disillusioned fortune hunter of the Reagan era joins an underground movement to assassinate political scumbags) that flows smoothly from start to finish. The combination of experimental, progressive music with shorter, more radio-friendly songs works well, and enabled the band to release singles from the album while keeping the story intact. These shorter songs provide the album's most exciting moments; "Revolution Calling", "Eyes of a Stranger", and "I Don't Believe in Love" are some of the best metal songs out there.
Singer Geoff Tate, lead guitarist Chris DeGarmo and rythm guitarist Michael Wilton have written almost all songs on the album.
