Operation Mindcrime was awesome IMO. I still have my vinyl copy that I purchased when it was first released in 1988. I thought it was an excellent concept album and showed their growth as a band. I'm still a big fan of Rage For Order but Mindcrime is definitely up there as one of my favorite albums. Too bad they couldn't hold on to the magic. The songwriting got very weak, especially after Chris DeGarmo split and Geoff Tate just doesn't have it anymore.
