Hey, I Remember Now: The Queensrÿche Podcast listeners…are you ready for Operation: Mindcrime?? Ray and Steve decided it was finally time to tackle the monster 1988 Queensrÿche concept album on this new episode!

It’s been a long time coming, and they’ve put it off for months, but the guys finally got it on the schedule. Due to the importance of this album in Queensrÿche history, it deserves at least a two-part episode. Part One delves into their personal histories with the album, a discussion on the cover jacket, the history of the record, and the beginning of the track-by-track breakdown and analysis of the classic story of Nikki, Sister Mary, Father William, and, of course, Dr. X!

For a task this big, the guys welcome a very special guest to co-host the show and join the festivities. Who is it? Tune in to find out! Plus, some great calls from the listeners, including one from a bonafide rock star!

The post Episode 21: Live Queensrÿche Bonus Tracks & Favorite Non-Queensrÿche Albums first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve are finally back with a new episode! This time, they take on the 2015 Queensryche album Condition Hüman. This is the second album featuring Todd LaTorre on lead vocals and would be the last album for founding member and drummer Scott Rockenfield. How does this album compare to the first self-titled album of the modern era of Queensryche and to the classic era??

The guys discuss:

The deep dive into Condition Hüman includes their personal histories with the album, a track-by-track breakdown and analysis, a ranking of the songs, and a ranking of the album versus the other albums that have been reviewed on the show.

The post I Remember Now – Episode 20: Condition Hüman  first appeared on I Remember Now.

We all know and love the classic Queensryche albums, but what about all of the material that didn’t make the cut? On this episode, Ray and Steve break down, discuss, and rank (of course!) twelve ‘Ryche songs that are B-Sides, Bonus Tracks, or Rarities that have all been released in one form or another.

The guys talk about their dirty lil’ secrets, fulfill a prophecy, chase some blue sky during that last time In Paris, and maybe even weave a little in a Sycamore Wood Lane! Will they find the real world or just feel justified when howl-ing while they wait for the kill? OK, OK, enough with the cheesy references, on with the show! Plus, a recap of another Empire: The Queensryche Experience tribute show and three GREAT calls from Producer Tim, our good buddy (and past guest) Logan, and a kinda “angry guy” From Chicago!

The guys discuss:

Plus, plenty of discussion on feedback from callers Brian Heaton, Jim from Irwin, and new caller Mike! There’s also more talk on the Origins tour, Ray’s recent experience seeing Empire: The Queensryche Experience tribute band, and much more!

– discussion and reaction on the 2024 Origins Tour announcement and the headlining spot at this year’s M3 Rock Festival

– our Queensrÿche Holiday Wish List and our “I Remember Now” New Year’s Resolutions!

We conclude with a hearty “dessert” portion that features our heartfelt thanks to the audience for their support of the podcast during 2023 and a bunch of other side-tangent topics as we are inclined to do!
