1st Part of a five-album Queensryche Cardboard sleeve (mini LP) reissue series featuring the albums "Queensryche," "The Warning," "Rage For Order," "Operation: Mindcrime," and "Empire." 2003 24-bit Remastering identical to U.S. and UK versions.

INFO!
Empire is the fourth full-length album by Queensrÿche, released on 4 September 1990. The power ballad "Silent Lucidity" was a cross-over hit, reaching #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, which helped the album reach triple-platinum status. The songs "Jet City Woman", "Della Brown", and "Another Rainy Night (Without You)" create a miniature concept album within the first half of "Empire," as they are linked by audio effects that bring the listener from one audio background to another seamlessly. "Empire" could arguably be included within this series, as the song begins with voices on an answering machine (as are also used in "Another Rainy Night"), though its subject is more of a stretch to relate.
