"Best I Can" - Queensryche

I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen

Look at that, halfway through. How about we end side one of the tape the way we end Act 1 of a musical, the heroes lament. The song is written from the perspective of several young men as they fight through the hardships life has presented them and try to rise above and be the best man that they can.

"Best I Can" opens up Queensryche's 1990 album "Empire". "Empire" gave the band mainstream success after the amazing concept album "Operation Mindcrime" established them as a critical darling. "Empire" is another perfect album, no skips. And yes that includes the extended addition, I love me some "Last Time in Paris". Perhaps the greatest show I ever attended was a Queensryche, Dream Theater double show. That was Prog Rock heaven.
