THE REVIEW
"Promised Land", in the opinion of the writer, is the last great masterpiece signed by Queensryche, with execution complexities and sound research that give chills. Criss De Garmo proves to be a great composer, capable of creating songs of rare delight, admirably accompanied by the voice of Geoff Tate.
Songs like Bridge, Out Of Mind, Promised Land, and One More Time are full of somberness and rich in atmosphere that overwhelm the listener, taking them on a journey through fantastic sounds.
The more electric tracks of the album, Damaged, Disconnected, Lady Jane, I'm I put aside the band’s past Heavy Metal experiences a bit to reach out to progressive rock with metallic nuances, and the result is splendid.
It is a complex album but not difficult to listen to, recommended to lovers of subtle and introspective rock.
For music lovers, it's a must-have album.

Promised Land is a concept-non concept, where no story is told, where no narrative plot is followed: a cynical reflection on the meaning of life.
Tate surpasses himself, paying tribute to the anguishing flair of existential discomfort masters like Roger Waters and Peter Hammill.
