Some of what I heard was very good and very heavy. Some of it sounded like Modern Rock shit Metal like Staind. But, it certainly seems to be a step in the right direction. Can't judge it yet on just sound bites. LaTorre also said those are demos not the finished versions by any means.

Yep. I'm cautiously optimistic. No guarantee that I'll end up buying or liking the album, but when I saw them a few weeks ago they seemed to really be enjoying themselves and it showed in the performance.
Also, since Jimbo produced Promised Land, which may be my favorite QR album, I have hopes that he'll help them rediscover the atmospheric vibe that was in the first 5 or 6 discs.

QUEENSRŸCHE has inked a deal with Century Media Records for the release of the band's new studio album. Due on June 11, the CD marks the debut release from the lineup comprised of La Torre (vocals; ex-CRIMSON GLORY), Michael Wilton (guitar), Parker Lundgren (guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums). The drums for the album were recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, Washington with producer James "Jimbo" Barton — the man who engineered and mixed the band's classic 1988 LP, "Operation: Mindcrime", and its 1990 follow-up, "Empire", and co-produced 1994's "Promised Land". The rest of the music and vocals were laid down at several different facilities on the West Coast.
"QUEENSRŸCHE is excited to begin writing this next chapter of our career with Century Media. Their passion and love for music has been apparent since early discussions and we are pleased to call them partners on this journey," states Jackson. "We are also thankful for all of the fans who have supported us from day one and helped us get to where we are today. Todd, Scott, Parker, Michael and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for each and every one of you."
QUEENSRŸCHE will head out on the "Return To History" world tour this March and April. The trek kicks off on March 5 in Dubuque, Iowa and makes stops in nine different countries, wrapping up on April 26 in the Netherlands. The band will also take to the high seas on this year's Monsters Of Rock cruise and Sweden Rock Cruise. The 23-date tour will make stops in New York, Tennessee and Florida as well as in Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, among others.

In a recent interview with Metal Assault, drummer Scott Rockenfield stated about QUEENSRŸCHE's renewed collaboration with Barton: "It's a great thing — we're really excited about it, he's really excited about it. We've wanted to work with him for a while, but for whatever reason, we just hadn't gone there yet. This is a great time for us to do that, though. We all discussed who we wanted to do the record with, and he was one of the first names that came up. It was easy for us to pick up the phone and call him. It was like our relationship picked up right where it left off, so it's gonna be a lot of fun. He's a very creative guy that did some great records with us in the past. I think that's one of the most important things when it comes to why we want to work with him."
Asked if fans will see a return to the progressive metal sound QUEENSRŸCHE had in the '80s, Scott said: "What we're trying to do, and what has been really interesting since Todd has jumped into the band, we're trying to revisit the old QUEENSRŸCHE catalog — stuff off of the EP and "The Warning". That's always been a part of what we are, so yeah, definitely! I think in my opinion, we're really revisiting that vibe of why that music was special back then for us. There will be a modern flair to it, though, just because we're in the modern age. The fun thing about Jimbo being a part of it is that he can help tie together the two sides. He does come from our past and some of the great records and some of the great sounds that we're known for, but he's also living in the modern age and doing some interesting things as well. I think it's going to be a really great QUEENSRŸCHE record. People are going to go, 'Wow, that's QUEENSRŸCHE! That sounds just like what we've known them to be, and what we would expect them to now be.' That's what I think peple will get out of it."

Listening to the CD (CM ships pre-orders early, so it showed up last week, but I was out of town until today). It's pretty good. It's pretty brickwalled though.

Well, last update since I feel like I'm just talking to myself - the album cracked the top 25: No. 23 on The Billboard 200 chart, with sales around 13,500 in the first week.
To put it in perspective, Tate's shitty faux-ryche album sold less than half that (5,500) in its first week at No. 82, and the last album before the split (DTC) only sold around 8,000 its first week.
Guess the market is (in the words of Judge Schapira) "sorting itself out."

I think it's interesting how the two entities have approached touring -- Tate's band is playing a lot of the domestic venues that Queensryche have played over the past decade or so, while the "official" band is focusing on various summer festivals before what looks to be a fairly extensive European run.
Frankly, I don't know that either approach is really centered around the promotion of new music (as I recall, Tate's recent tour was billed more as a Mindcrime anniversary), but then again I never thought we'd get this far with two separate releases under the same band name.
