Empire

Queensrÿche

Glossy engineering marks the tracks, mirroring expensive recording methods common at the start of the final decade of the century. The band adopted a melodic rock approach without losing the sharp technical ability of their earlier work.

Complex science fiction themes gave way to reality-based writing on this release. The group maintained its core identity while shifting toward a broader sound.
