I recently posted a general question about what makes certain bands sound unique, and on that sort of track, could you tell me what gives Queensryche that distinctive, 'dramatic', but 'meloncholy' feel?. All of their songs have it, even the more optimistic ones, i.e. 'Best I Can' from 'Empire'. I know the subject matter is usually a little dark, as in 'Operation Mindcrime' (which is a masterpiece, in my humble opinion), and the music definitely has that 'feeling' of depression, but the riffs are quite 'upbeat' at the same time. It's like listening to the character's depressing story, but not feeing particularly depressed whilst you're doing it, if that makes sense... Do they use minor scales to achieve this, or do they have something modal going on (could get into trouble here, as minor scales are 'modal'), or maybe a set of chord sequences with a particular quality that they make frequent use of?
