[Geoff Tate Recounts The Power Of TV, And Public Opinion, In Mindcrime’s Breakthrough]”I don’t know if you remember this, but our kind of music was not popular. What was big was Mötley Crüe and all that sort of sex, drugs, rock’n’roll and see how screwed up we could get and make idiots of ourselves. That was what was being covered, in every rock magazine. And all of a sudden we come out with Operation: Mindcrime and they just, first off, they didn’t get it, they didn’t understand it.” – Geoff Tate

[Cult of Luna] The omnipresent label gurus maintain that Cult of Luna have evolved into a different being, somewhat more art rock than post hardcore, but the lumbering beast that was Cult of Luna is still here and heavy as ever. Also, the band are reputed to have linked all the songs on this album in an underlying concept to create a more coherent output than before. If they weren’t doing this previously then it must have been blind luck - the band must have stumbled on high caliber collections of songs which flow and merge together perfectly… completely by accident.
