I'm not really disappointed, because to be disappointed, you need to be expecting something good to start with. Ive just finished listening to the album against my better judgement, and it is as I suspected it would be, terrible! There's maybe a couple of songs that aren't totally awful, and one decent song, out of the 16 tracks. And not a single song that comes anywhere near touching their classics. How Scott Rockenfeld could compare this to "Rage For Order" and Geoff comparing it to "Empire" is beyond me... both of those albums are on a different planet in terms of quality. Its probably not surprising that many outside songwriters were responsible for writing the material, and Michael Wilton didnt write a single thing on the album. It's a woeful album, at least the new Morbid Angel had a small amount of good stuff on it.. I'll be amazed if this one isnt my worst album of the year come December.

Im putting "Empire" on now, to remember how great Queensryche used to be.

Cleanse you ears. Follow it with some Mindcrime.

I think by the time "Anybody Listening?" had finished, my ears had just about been cleansed.... haha! Ive listened to some Mindcrime since then though.

Their fall from grace since the heights of those albums is just staggering... Most of the classic metal bands I love, even when they start putting out lesser quality material, there's usually still some good stuff there. It's amazing just how low Queensryche have sunk since Chris left. "Dedicated To Chaos" is really a terrible album, even worse than I expected, which is saying something. I definitely wont be letting that pollute my ears again in my lifetime. lol

It's a pretty bad album, I never thought they could go lower than Hear in the Now frontier or Q2K. Disappointing album.
How the mighty have fallen...

WTF have Queensryche done, this is utterly piss poor. They need to rethink things cos this album is by far their worst. Its shocking.

Haven't heard it yet but 13 votes for an average of 4.8 doesn't sound promising...lol ,I live in hope but I
haven't heard anything decent here since their first 4 albums.What happened Mincrime was a classic !!!!

I literally expected nothing but this is still terrible.

Terrible...,maybe it's time for retirement...

Listening right now to Wot We Do and it seriously sounds like a Robbie Williams song..

I never liked Queensrÿche, so I think I'll pass.

Actually, I can think of 2 or 3 Robbie Wiliams songs that are better than anything on the latest Queensryche!

yeah, me too. if anything at least they don't fail at being catchy pop tunes, and i know some even have some good guitar work in them like Angels.

anyway, it's difficult to see how this band came from writing awesome songs with such great guitar and epic vocals like Breaking the Silence, Hand on Heart or Silent Lucidity (not even close to being their best either) to playing this atrocity. I knew people were whining about it, but still honestly thought it was some kind of youtube joke when i first heard it. definitely will not be checking this out, maybe only to get a good cheap laugh on how stupid it is, like with Sonic Syndicate's latest blasphemy.

one redeeming factor though: in their live shows nowadays, the only track they play from this album is the opener, the rest being mostly stuff from their 80s albums and Empire.

Listened to it on youtube, made St.Anger look like a masterpiece.

Exactly! He has some great, and even dark pop tunes like "Me And My Monkey" and "No Regrets". And I also like "Old Before I Die".

It is difficult, listening to their classic works of the 80's/early 90's, and wondering how they went from that to this. Scott and Geoff had the audacity to compare the new album to "Empire" and "Rage For Order"... Id love to hear what they're hearing, because I certainly can't hear anything of those albums in this one! It is truly a terrible album, that makes the latest Morbid Angel seem like an album of the year contender.

Well, Im glad to hear that about their current live shows, because they are the support for Judas Priest at the gig here in a couple of weeks. So it's a relief that they wont be bombarding my ears with a lot of songs from the new album...

@Fade To Black: Id rather have the next 10 albums I listen to be "St. Anger", than have to listen to "Dedicated To Chaos" in full once more.

Wtf happened to queensryche???

Based on listening to a couple songs, this is a terrible deserving album for the bottom 20 of all time. About as powerful and meaningful as a corn flake. I'd expect this album to get decent reviews on ElevatorMusicStorm.com

Where is the review???

A perfect album............ Not Really.

Yeah, this band is creatively bankrupt, no question. Queensryche are dead, I think it's time they stopped haunting us with new releases.

Is there a rating lower than one for this album?

I have no idea, but the only other album I've rated as low as I've rated this one on MS is "In Torment In Hell" by Deicide. There might be certain other albums Id rate even lower, but they are probably albums I couldnt sit through.

From what I've heard of 'In Torment in Hell', it just seemed like kinda boring death metal....... but this, this is just an atrocity. It makes St. Anger look tolerable, even good by comparison. Hell, it makes Ilud Divinium Insanus look decent by comparison!

"Boring" is exactly the word I'd use for that album! It's just so dull and monotonous, and there's not even a single stand out track on it... a very bad album by a usually very great band.

Yep, St. Anger seems like a classic compared to this album... lol As for the new Morbid Angel... well, at least that has about 3 songs on it that are really good, and Blades For Baahl is actually pretty awesome, so it's definitely a better album than the new Queensryche! This one will probably end up taking my worst album of the year award... *sighs*

One of the worst albums I've ever heard.

Looks like a pile o' shit to me.

self note; AVAOID!

Once they were great band in my opinion. This is no doubt their worst album ever. What happened to them?

Looks like the band members have seen too many of "the pictures on Youu-tu-u-u-ube", and therefore decided to make this pile of elephant scrotum because of it. The only thing inspirational about this album is for inspiring me to throw up at the mere thought of Queensryche's name. This is truly horrendous, I'm not sure if i can look at their previous classics the same way again.

A whole new level oof badness!!
