Operation: Mindcrime is my second favorite albums ever. Perfect 10 all the way.
I love Promised Land, its sooo underrated. Damaged, Bridge, One More Time and Someone Else are all among their best songs. The re-issue of it also has the song Real World from the Last Action Hero soundtrack. Amazing track.
And I should mention that Tate was not a douche to me when I met him at a meet-and-greet last year after seeing them live. He was really appreciative of the fans.
Here's my review of their latest album:
