Hah, that's kind of funny, because I was a big fan UNTIL Rage for Order, when I swore I'd never buy another album of theirs (it has grown on me since). Then a friend finally convinced me to listen to Operation: Mindcrime, and now that is probably my favorite album of all time. Empire was good, but after that they sort of faded out for me, and I haven't listened to anything new in probably a decade. New Tate-ryche is fairly crappy, which disappoints me because he was always what kept me listening. This stuff isn't too bad, much better than anything else I've heard from them in a long time.
We longtime QR fans refer to Tateryche as "The Shitty Queensryche" and Todd's version as the real band.
While Geoff is certainly being a dick there, and Todd is definitely being awesome, lets not gloss over the fact that camera phones have completely ruined the fucking concert experience lately. It is absolutely nothing but a sea of shitheads all doing their best to destroy any view you might possibly have of the stage so they can have 15 seconds of shaky video with shit audio to toss up on youtube to prove they were there.
