[@Metal2BKnown]

Very awesome Band! I grew up listening to them in the 80's.

[@19Blueslifer70]

I agree! My favorite band still to this day. As a teenager in the 80’s I wanted to be Geoff Tate. Had the dew, the trench coat...just not the voice.

[@yukonstriker1703]

Not Metal, hard rock. Metal? LMAO

[@its-beady-eyes5120]

It's 2022 and this song is just as relevant as it was back when it was first written.

ABSOLUTELY, the whole album concept is still so relevant. A gem.

[@israelgravatt100]

This album has come to life, scary times. 30yrs and still has that brand new cassette tape CD smell.

[@elvisblade3115]

Saw them live in 88'! They opened for Metallica. The Ryche was phenomenal. They gave one of the best performances I've ever seen.

[@Thedesertguy75]

One of the absolute greatest concept metal records of all time. It's flawless. Queensryche is the pure definition of genius NOT being understood in its own time. This record should be in the Smithsonian....its concept and lyrics are more relevant than ever. Geoff is one of the greatest to sing Rock imo. Ever.

[@richardcentkowski8685]

I'm 50yrs and been a fan since they came out in 1980. The Geoff tate era was the best. His vocals are out of this world... will be rocking them till I die......

[@deNNyTheWiseMAN1]

Geoff Tate goes down as one of the 80s best vocalists.

[@metalmami7862]

He is the best! Bach screams. Halford is great , but Tate has SOUL and opera and everything else.

Seems Degarmo always gets the props for song writing and music.. But Wilton hit a flippin' grand slam w/ this one. So under rated.

The whole album but The Mission was written by Geoff Tate. Chris wrote The Mission just a music 🎶 fact. Preformed by the whole band of course. A solid timeless Masterpiece OMC.

[@TheRecklessMetalhead]

As a kid of the 90s and 00s (born in 91), Queensryche was my jam in my teenage years and I grew up idolizing Geoff Tate as my favorite vocalist. I am not a good singer and I can karaoke myself at home but damn, those Ryche lyrics were hard to sing. I knew a lot of great vocalists from the 80s and Geoff Tate was that guy. Still, "Speak" is an excellent progressive metal song, regardless.

[@Arana_Escupidora]

We love the lyrics.

[@pedrogomez1350]

By far one of the best bands that will always played with heart and THee best band live I am horned to say that I have seen you guys live 5 times Scott, Chris, Eddie, Geoff, Mike, you guys are one in a billion

I know when Queensryche made this song, they didn't *intend* it to be completely sincere. It's framed as part of a story, or, if they were stating some of their beliefs (as it certainly feels), they "played it safe" by giving themselves a framing device. So, all I can say is, *THIS BUT UNIRONICALLY!*
