The group that brought you the power ballad Silent Lucidity brings us a salute to the metal umlaut! Some über cool umlaut usage:
Mötley Crüe
Motörhead
Hüsker Dü
Blue Öyster Cult
Röyksopp
Björk
Häagen-Dazs (delicious, but has no meaning in any European language)
Fahrvergnügen ("driving pleasure" in German)
Spinal Tap (over the n; sorry no keyboard shortcut for consonants)
and...
Queensrÿche
Picture a couple of these examples without their metal umlauts. They wouldn't be near as tough and mean, would they? So I say purchase this album for anyone who needs to toughen up and quit being so much of a little sissy nancy boy. Nothing will ever be tougher than Silent Lucidity.
