Operation: Mindcrime II is the ninth studio album by American progressive metal band Queensrÿche, released in 2006. It serves as a sequel to their 1988 concept album Operation: Mindcrime. The album continues the story of Nikki, a character who struggles with themes of betrayal, addiction, and redemption. Musically, it retains the band's signature progressive metal sound, characterized by intricate guitar work, orchestral elements, and thought-provoking lyrics. The album received mixed reviews, with some praising its ambitious narrative and musical complexity, while others felt it did not live up to the original.
