- Covered Up: Not many people remember that "Gonna Get Close to You" is a cover, originally by Lisa Dal Bello.
- Epic Riff: A lot of them on Operation: Mindcrime in particular, but many of the non-ballad songs have an epic riff.
- Internet Backdraft: Just look at the reactions to the Cabaret shows and Dedicated To Chaos. GOD.
- Moment of Awesome: Geoff Tate sings the "National Anthem"
- Magnum Opus: Operation Mindcrime is truly this for Queensrÿche, to the point that, 20-odd years later, they continue to perform the entirety of the album in their concerts, working the other songs around this centerpiece.
- Since the sequel has been released, it too gets played live in its entirety; it's a two-hour-plus show.
- The original is generally held as one of the greatest prog-rock concept albums, ever. (Yes, that means it's often on the same list as The Wall.)
- Misblamed: Many fans blame DeGarmo's departure for the general quality of albums slumping, but don't have much love for DeGarmo's last album Hear in the Now Frontier.[1] Admittedly, they don't tend to despise it as much as later albums.
- Paranoia Fuel: It's decidedly not recommended to listen to Rage for Order late at night, or at least keep one hand near the tone arm/skip button.
