What's The Story?
Queensryche's description varies with who you ask; some pigeonhole them as classic rock, others heavy metal, and some as straight progressive rock. Regardless, they're best known for the album this track comes from, Empire.
Who's To Blame?
...Is it normal for a guy who keeps a song blog to get so many recommendations from rhythm-based plastic instrument games?
Why ♥ It?
The chorus in this tune is what it's all about.
The song carries through the verses like any competent power ballad or heavy-hearted metal tune, but without the usual cheese. It's sung honestly like a soliloquy from a musical.
The chorus, however, sets a mood that's emotionally heavy. I keep thinking Ashes or Cribcaged by Pain of Salvation, except radio-ready. Combine those two elements with a any-rock-genre-ready guitar solo and quick climax outro, and the tune is a neat piece that is set like a table; standard decorations around a valuable centerpiece.
tl; dr: I just called this song a table.
