'Operation: Mindcrime' is considered one of the greatest concept metal albums of all time. The band's third album, originally released on May 3, 1988, revolves around Nikki, a recovering drug addict who becomes disillusioned with corrupt society and joins a revolutionary group to assassinate political leaders.
'Operation: Mindcrime' was produced by Peter Collins (Bon Jovi, Rush, Alice Cooper) and recorded, mixed and mastered on a Sony 24-track digital tape machine. It went platinum in the U.S. in 1991 and was included in the top 100 metal albums of all time by Kerrang! and Billboard magazines.
