The LaTorre camp has issued a rebuttle to the release concerning the cover of the album depicting the "FU" on either side of the Trirych symbol being a cheap shot (below) and basically calling the Geoff Tate version just a bunch of posers:
The former Crimson Glory singer insists Tate's album isn't the real deal. He tells KNAC.com: "I don't even acknowledge it as a Queensryche album. The guys that play on the record are not the guys that you see onstage, and aren't the guys that wrote the songs. It's a revolving door, dude, it's not Queensryche. What I'm in is Queensryche."
