The contrast between The Warning and Rage For Order is like the difference between the Sopwith Camel and the Harrier Jump Jet. Queensryche are not alone in going stratospheric between albums. Metallica, arguably, achieved the same leap with Ride The Lightning, Megadeth with Peace Sells and, say, Slayer with Hell Awaits, to name but a few. The closest comparison would be comparing Priest's Rocka Rolla to Sad Wings. Like this transformation, the genetics are all there in the earlier work (but not in the right order) and there are glimpses of the sheer brilliance to come, notably in the stabbing NM156, the uplifting call to arms of the single Take Hold Of the Flame and the sprawling Roads to Madness. NM156 is almost the blue print for Rage - layered guitars, keyboards, infills, angst ridden vocals and a futuristic theme. These three tracks' strength is reflected in their reworking on recent tours and are worth the price of the cd alone. The rest isn't bad, but the gloopy production bogs down the undeniable technicality of the songs, leaving them sounding disjointed and a bit awkward. However, like Rock a Rolla it is a vital part of the band's history and like Priest's Ram it Down, there is far worse in the recent past to put this album up on a small pedestal in comparison (pick from Tribe, Take Cover or Hear In The Now Frontier). So I would buy this before you buy Rage, as the contrast will highlight what a huge achievement Rage for Order actually is.

This, my friends, is a gem, a true, underrated gem!
Melodic metal, progressive metal, cerebro-metal, call it what you will, the album is a milestone, delicious from beginning to end, showing you the whole bandwidth of skills of the duo Wilton/DeGarmo and Tate's superb vocals. Solid riffs, technical extravaganza, enchanting melodies, three-octave vocals, this album has got it all. Hard to believe DeGarmo was just 21 when he recorded this. It does not stand back from the sublime 'Rage for Order' and 'Operation: Mindcrime'
Highlights are No sanctuary, Take hold of the flame, Child of fire and especially the epic Roads to madness. Listen to it 100 times and you will still find details you haven't noticed before.

1984's The Warning is the debut studio album by the Seattle Based Progressive Metal band Queensr’che. It was recorded in London and produced by James Guthrie who is notable for his work with Judas Priest, Pink Floyd and also Pink Floyd members' solo albums.

Compared to all other Queensr’che albums, it is the most traditionally Heavy Metal of their works stylistically. It is also arguably the least Progressive of their early albums, although it still shows clear signs of ambitious songwriting and a desire to push the boundaries of the genre. `Road To Madness' for example is an almost ten-minute track with acoustic sections, electric sections, a symphonic sounding back-up and even a few time signature changes towards the end.

Unless you really don't like the sound of classic Heavy Metal, in the vein of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio and early Overkill then The Warning will be an instantly enjoyable album. The standard of songwriting is excellent and the tracks are all for the most part catchy and memorable with driving riffs, pleasing guitar solos and fantastic vocals from the impressive Geoff Tate.

Highlight include `En Force' `N M 156' `Child Of Fire' and of course the aforementioned `Roads To Madness.

Overall, The Warning is Queensr’che's most straightforwardly metal album, and the band excels at delivering that style in a powerful, catchy and intelligent manner. I feel the album is pretty underrated and would happily recommend it to fans from a Metal background. If you like Queensr’che and aren't only in it for nothing but the Prog and the Prog alone, then you really should give the album a try.
