Queensryche - Promised Land

"The promised land isn't the material wealth and success people strive towards, you have to reach beyond that and come to terms with yourself, or else it's all meaningless..." (Chris DeGarmo)

Reviews of Promised Land
  Album review - also the stickman.com review
Album review from rathole.com
What happens to a band who got it all and then decided they weren't really sure they wanted it? Promised Land is Queensryche's answer to the question birthed four years after Empire. An exploration of reincarnation kicks off the album (9:28 AM) and wraps up with the reflective "Someone Else?" In between are mental meanderings sure to provoke any listener.
