No kidding...
Maybe if they had done it 15 years ago... I'll probably still listen to it and hope they've left the later bullshit behind, but I don't have much hope.
However, not only are *they* grasping at straws, but I see that Ronnie James Dio is providing "character" vocals as Dr. X. Now he's grasping at the same straw.
I used to pronounce it Queen's-synch-rah.

You mean that's not how it's pronounced?

No. It's pronounced Queen-lahtie-fah.
Did you honestly not know that???

All I can say is that it's good you were here to tell me. I'm going to be able to upgrade my coolness modifier to +10 with this tidbit of information.

Was there ever a place where they actually put down the full story of what happen with part 1? I always found the story to be lyrically convoluted. There was a nun, some love, some bad guys, and maybe a revolution.
If Ronnie James bursts into Rainbow in the Dark, it could be amusing.

I think it was somewhere in liner notes. Maybe on the video release they did for it. I know that they explained it reasonably well in their shows.
I'd prefer Holy Diver for comical purposes.

I saw them do Mindcrime front-to-back on the Empire tour. Also printed out the lyrics back in the day. I guess I never 'got it'. Granted, I was probably just banging my head and thrusting my fists in the air at the time.

Wait a second, I get it.... This is all just a trick. You're just going to rename a bunch of cheesy '80's songs to give me nasty flashbacks!

You may wish that was the case after you hear this.
Actually, it's not that bad. I just don't think it's that good, either.
The first six tracks are in the dump already. More to come.
Eek, sorry dc. I got sidetracked by shiny things the rest of this weekend. I'll try and remember to continue putting more in the Dump when I get home tonight.
Tracks 7 to 12 are there now as well. Still more to come.

I'm listening to it now.... A bit uneven, I think. But maybe not as bad as I expected. Thanks so far!
CRAP. Forgot again. Five more tracks to go. May have to wait for tomorrow night, though.

That's OK. I'll wait on the edge of my chair, hoping that Ronnie James Dio gets another duet.....
Wow. I haven't been this uninspired since SWEPI. Good Lord, what a hunk of shit this CD was!!! If I had paid to hear that, I'd have been pissed and would have wanted to kick my own ass!!
Worst........ Mindcrime................. EVER!!!!
That reminds me of a joke that ESPN once did:
What's the best golf movie ever..................Caddyshack!
What's the WORST golf movie ever.......................................Caddyshack II!
Tracks 13-17 are there now. The end.
