With its clever lyrical content, stunning vocals and sheer energy of the quintet in the studio, this massive album rode to the upper rungs of the charts thanks in part to the amazing and one of a kind power ballad "Silent Lucidity." With more hard rock champions like "Jet City Woman," "Best I Can" and the brilliant "Anyone Listening," Queensrÿche"s Empire is surely one of hard rocks" most enduring albums. Friday Music is proud to announce the first time 180 Gram 2 LP audiophile version of this masterpiece. Mastered from the original EMI tapes.
