This week in 1990, Queensrÿche released their fifth studio album, EMPIRE. With the platinum success of Operation: Mindcrime in 1988, it seemed unlikely that the band had any chance of outdoing themselves on their follow-up effort. However, Empire proved to be a remarkable album, and fans responded in kind by purchasing more than a million copies in less than five months. Empire reached #7 on the Billboard 200 (due in no small part to "Silent Lucidity" hitting #1 on the singles chart).

how accurate is "Planet of the Bass" to actual 90s eurodance
The obligatory spoken-word bridge by a guy who talks like a horny wolf could have stood to be bass-boosted just a smidge, and the outfits are a little anachronistic (more early 2000s than late 1990s, plus the female vocalist has a visible tanline on her face from her COVID mask), but other than that it's a pretty solid pastiche.
