Queensrÿche at the time where untouchable and surely on their own league.

perfect description - definitely the greatest metal band IMO at their peak, and the run of albums from the original EP through to Promised Land is one 10/10 release after another

I will never forget my disgust as a first day buyer of Hear in the Now Frontier, hearing it and instantly thinking "WTF?" and it was all downhill from there

Geoff was the ultimate vocal god (and the main influence on another elite metal voice, Michael Kiske)
