To Queensryche fans, Operation: Mindcrime is the hard-rock equivalent of Pink
Floyd\'s The Wall in its ambition, scope, and theatrical pomp. This 1991 filming of
the band\'s live presentation of the album is no substitute for its electrifying
stage show, but as filmed concerts go, it\'s a pretty good replacement. Visually,
director Wayne Isham and his editor Jeff Richter do their best to keep up with the
multimedia production: films, lighting, cued sounds, and dialogue are as important
to Operation: Livecrime as the music. But enough of the convoluted story comes
through to allow even the uninitiated to follow it. Musically, the band is in top
form, especially singer Geoff Tate, who seems to hit notes most rock singers
didn\'t even know existed.
