Before establishing themselves as both a commercial and a progressive metal force, Seattle's Queensr˙che dealt classic metal steeped in English tradition. In fact, their 1983 self-titled debut EP, while largely ignored in America, became a sensation in the U.K. and Europe. The band displays an obvious Iron Maiden influence in their early songs, which often featured "dungeons and dragons" lyrical themes.

[The EMI 2003 reissue includes not only 24-bit remastered sound, but ten live tracks from 1984 that were originally found on the Live in Tokyo video.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
