What You Should Know: Has the summer heat already got you down? Are you looking for something to wet your hard-rock appetite? Then Queensrÿche wants you! The dark allure of Queensrÿche’s Hear In The Now Frontier relies as much on razor-sharp musicianship and a gripping combination of melodicism and devastating rhythms as it does on the elusive moodiness that suffused it. The second single from the soon-to-be Gold record resonates with these same forces, only agitated into a heavier, even more ferocious mix that’s full of intriguing twists and turns. If the success that “Sign Of The Times” saw is any indication (a Top 5 record at Rock, Active Rock and Aggro Radio), this track should be smokin’ all summer long! ^m^
