Join us for a special bonus episode where we take a deep dive into Queensryche’s multi-platinum classic, Empire! We are excited to have Paul Logue of Eden’s Curse, who has worked with James Labrie, joining us for this discussion.

While hits like “Jet City Woman” and “Silent Lucidity” are the most recognized tracks, we’ll explore whether the album’s real greatness lies in the deep cuts. From powerful anthems to hidden gems, we break down each track to see what makes Empire an enduring masterpiece.

Are the popular songs really the pinnacle of the album, or do the lesser-known tracks reveal more of Queensryche’s brilliance? Tune in to hear our thoughts, and share your own!
