comment |
A Rock Opera by Progressive Metal band Queensrÿche, released in 1988, focusing on a drug-addicted street kid who, brainwashed by a charismatic demagogue, becomes the assassin for an underground revolutionary movement. The sequel, released in 2006, continues to follow him as he attempts to deal with the demons that have been haunting him.The story explores such topics as governmental and religious hypocrisy, love and sex (and the differences between them), and personal responsibility for one's own actions and one's lot in life. All of this is placed in a believable, Next Sunday A.D.-esque world which is very overtly modeled on the sociopolitical climate of each album's time.Warning! Spoilers ahead! |

From Bad to Worse |
| | Operation: Mindcrime (Music) / int_7870735b |
comment |
From Bad to Worse: Basically the whole story. It starts out bad, with a Crapsack World which motivates Nikki to join an insurrectionist movement as an assassin; then gets worse when his conscience begins to catch up to him; then worse still when he is ordered to kill his friend/lover because "she's a risk." Gets worse yet again when he refuses but she ends up dead anyway; and bottoms out when he is arrested and pretty much goes insane. |

How We Got Here |
| | Operation: Mindcrime (Music) / int_80251be3 |
comment |
How We Got Here: OM1 is told in flashback form; we first meet Nikki in hospital as a background news broadcast fills us in on backstory; then, after Nikki's little monologue ("I remember now... I remember how it started..."), the instrumental "Anarchy-X" marks the transition into the flashback proper. (Similarly, the later instrumental "Waiting for 22" marks the transition out of the flashback.) |

"The Villain Sucks" Song: "The Needle Lies" on OM1. Refers both to Dr. X and to Nikki's drug addiction. |

Big "NO!" |

comment |
Big "NO!": Used at the end of "Breaking the Silence" in OM1. Nikki is accused of her death by the voices in his head, causing him to scream this. |

Morally Ambiguous Doctorate |
| | Operation: Mindcrime (Music) / int_d3aad64a |
comment |
Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Dr. X; the video to "Eyes Of A Stranger" shows him in the hospital where Nikki winds up, in a lab coat (presumably so he can be close enough to keep Nikki too drugged up to say what really happened). |

comment |
Drugs Are Bad: It's pretty unlikely anyone who listens to the album's lyrics will have any desire to try heroin after that, to put it mildly. |

Evil Is Hammy: Dr. X when he's being sung, especially by Ronnie James Dio. When he's heard speaking, however, he sounds like a suave British supervillain. |
