March of 1997 Queensryche released their sixth studio album, “Hear In The Now Frontier”. Ironically, for an album cover adorned with ears a large swath of the Ryche faithful weren’t listening. This week Richie and our guest contributor Brian Heaton discuss in depth why this is the case and is it warranted. For an even deeper dive into the band pick up copy of “Building An Empire”. It’s the definitive biography of the band and just happens to be co-authored by Brian. And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.
