I Remember Now – Episode 48: Operation: Mindcrimce III

About this episode

Ray and Steve review Geoff Tate's new album, Operation: Mindcrime III, discussing its connections to the original albums and ranking the songs.

Ray and Steve return with a highly anticipated album review episode as they take a deep dive into Geoff Tate’s brand-new release, Operation: Mindcrime III. Promising heavier moments, callbacks to the classic Operation: Mindcrime storyline, and a fresh perspective from Dr. X himself, Geoff set expectations sky-high for this long-awaited sequel. But does the album actually deliver? The guys break the album down track-by-track, discuss the story, performances, production, and connections to the original albums, and debate whether Mindcrime III lives up to the hype and the legacy. And, of course, no IRN: TQP review would be complete without ranking the songs from worst to first!
