Exceptional!!!
Queensryche has quite a history from what I would call a perfect first four offerings, and then an odyssey into a variety of experimental spaces. Even Empire was a departure, although it was brilliant and worked beautifully. I continued to pay attention to Queensryche, but at the same time, never knowing what to expect. I enjoyed some of what I heard, but what I really wanted was a return to the power and infectiousness of those early albums. Rage, Warning, Mindcrime – that’s what I’m talking about!!The departure of original members, starting with Chris DeGarmo, only made me think a return to form could never be. And then losing Geoff Tate – the voice of Queensryche?? It’s over. Never gonna happen. No way.Well, I was wrong!! Todd’s entry into the band immediately infused an energy not seen since the 80s. Each offering since Todd joined gave me fresh hope, because each of Todd’s offerings had moments of perfect Queensryche.Enter Digital Noise Alliance, and my wish for another perfect Queensryche album is fully realized! Top to bottom, this album is simply exceptional! I put it right next to Rage, Warning, and Mindcrime. Wow!! I am blown away!!

Fulfilling the glimpses that were seen with the last 3 albums
They got this one right. Ever since Todd Le Torre joined we’ve seen glimpses of what the band could do in the first 3 albums. There were songs here and there where either musically or lyrically the band sounded like the Queensryche many of us grew up with from the mid 80’s up through the late 90’s, i.e. before the band went in a different direction (forced perhaps?). But this fourth album really shows what the band is capable of. Everything from the song writing, the musicality of the songs themselves and even the production of the album really speaks to what the band has evolved into. I really hope this is a sign of more things to come.For those that say its not Queensryche without Geoff Tate I would argue that the last handful of albums with Geoff Tate were not Queensryche either. At least not the Queensryche I started listening to with the first EP release in 1984 and on up through say “Hear in the now frontier”. I would urge you to listen to a few of the songs on this album, if you don’t feel a little excitement like seeing a friend you haven’t talked to in years, then ‘No harm, no foul’. However for me, the journey begins again. And I can’t wait….

Awesome!
Another amazing record from Queensryche. Thank you! It’s in my car on repeat, probably until the next album comes out. I will say though – tracks #8 and 10 are terrible. Track 8 is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard, from any band. I made a copy without these two tracks and it is now perfect. Not sure how those songs made it onto the album as they just aren’t up to the quality of the rest of them, but it’s not my music nor my decision to make, only my opinion. But with their omission it’s one of my favorite albums now. The song writing is great, guitar tone is amazing, drumming is fantastic, and the music just rolls on out… Thanks again!

Another great Queensryche Album!
I’ve been a fan since their EP came out in the early 80’s. Digital Noise Alliance is a great album with just over an hour of music. People keep comparing that Todd La Torre doesn’t have the range that Geoff Tate did and they just need to quit living in the past (I’m a big fan of Geoff Tate – check out his band Operation Mindcrime for a more progressive Queensryche sound). Todd’s vocals are on point and sound great. My favorites after the first playthrough so far are Lost in Sorrow, Behind the Walls, and Tormentum. Forest is a only ballad somewhat along the lines of Silent Lucidity if I had to compare it to something. There’s a cool bonus track that’s a cover of Rebel Yell (Billy Idol) – it’s a great cover!

This is a good album, lots of interesting riffs
Been a fan of the “Ryche” since their first EP, my fav’s being “The Warning,” Rage for Order,” and of course “Mindcrime.” This album is on par with their last issue (The Verdict), but nowhere as good as “Condition Human” (that album is insanely good).

Best release since Empireâ¦
This is the album Iâve been waiting for that I knew QR could produce once again! It has that good old melodic feel from the early days along with touches of heavy guitar driven hard rock tracks as well as a couple of beautiful moody tracks. Although I like the last few releases from QR, I feel this is more balanced and achieves more substance and melodic infusion along with a very top notch sounding mix as if it were more thought out. With this release I can actually listen to Digital Noise Alliance all the way through without it feeling like copy-paste from one song to the other; each song has its own feel and I would easily recommend adding this album to your Queensrÿche collection.

One of the best of the year
Mind blowing 21st century metal. This is a true rebirth for Queensryche. Todd really finds his voice on this third album with the band. The first track “In Extremis” is a powerful opening that sets the tone for what will be their most accomplished album yet with new singer Todd La Torre. My favorite track “Lost in Sorrow” is track three and showcases perhaps some of the best vocals ever heard on any Queensryche album. “Sicdeth” is a heavy hitter. “Behind the Walls” is another great song for vocals.  “Forest” is a softer Promised Land type approach. The album closes with a killer must-have version of Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell.” Really not a bad song on here.

Incredible music
This is a very powerful album. Being from Seattle you know I had to get it. Crystal clear records too. Beautiful color.

Solid record from start to finish. Each member of the band are performing at their peak. Lead singer Todd La Torre is showing more range in his vocals to great effect. The Mikes on guitars are just excellent as always. Rhythm section is shining throughout and Eddie Jackson is once again living up to his moniker Ed Bass. Casey Grillo’s drumming is top shelf. The songwriting is vibrant and full of relevance and I can’t pick out a weak song in the set. Even down to the awesome cover of Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell. If you haven’t listened to the ‘Ryche in awhile, treat yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Me sorprendió este álbum más que trabajos anteriores, el sencillo no me convencÃa mucho , pero el álbum en conjunto me gustó más de lo que creÃa …La edición Digipack limitada USA
Monserrat Villa –
El disco llegó junto a otros dos discos que compré y los tres venÃan en un empaque tipo sobre sin ninguna protección (como papel de burbuja), pero al menos este disco sà llegó intacto. Está en perfectas condiciones pero preferirÃa que viniera envuelto en papel burbuja para prevenir cualquier golpe, etc.

Pristine Queensryche album perfectly aligned with the music they delivered in their glory days. Best album since Todd La Torre joined the band, showing a clear progression in song writing and ease of creating music.Queensryche has nothing to prove but still, they remind us that they are the king of progressive Heavy Metal and that they are still capable of delivering amazing music.Not a bad track on this album; even the bonus track Rebel Yell (from Billy Idol) will surprise you, mixing classic Queensryche sound to the driving rhythm of the original track. You don’t know how much you’ve missed Queensryche music until you listen to this new album. Worth adding to your music collection.

At their best, Queensryche always hit the sweet-spot between thinking man’s prog-metal and accessible hard rock. ‘Digital Noise Alliance’ is indicative of the entire Todd La Torre era in which the band leans more towards metal (with the guitars prominent in the mix) while featuring interesting song structures that are complemented by intelligent lyrics (although admittedly not as ‘deep’ as say ‘Operation: Mindcrime’ or ‘American Soldier’). Indeed, ‘Digital Noise Alliance’ rocks hard while providing enough ‘stick in your head’ hooks to satisfy any Queensryche fan who can accept life without Geoff Tate. In all, a fine album.
