Hear in the Now Frontier is the sixth studio album by the American heavy metal band Queensrÿche, released in 1997. It was partly recorded at Studio Litho in Seattle, the home studio of Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard, and was engineered and mixed by Toby Wright, who had recently worked with Alice In Chains.
The album debuted at No. 19 but quickly vanished from the charts. Hear in the Now Frontier features a more basic, stripped down musical style than anything the band had released to date, and some fans and critics pointed to the grunge genre - rooted in Seattle, near where Queensrÿche formed - as being a major influence. Despite the reaction, the singles 'Sign of the Times' and 'You' received substantial airplay. Both tracks, as well as 'Some People Fly,' would later be featured on best-ofcompilations. Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensrÿche, a 2007 compilation, also takes its name from the song. The song 'All I Want' features guitarist Chris DeGarmo singing lead vocals, marking the only time that another band member besides the incumbent lead singer sings lead vocals on a studio track. After the album's release, original guitarist Chris DeGarmo left the band.

There are definitely strong points present on Hear in the Now Frontier, but in general it is portions of songs that stand out rather than entire pieces. 'Cuckoo's Nest,' a hard-rocking piece, is an exception to that rule, though, being one of the most consistent compositions on display here.

Tour[edit]
During Queensrÿche's tour in support of Hear in the Now Frontier, their longtime label EMI Records USA went bankrupt and was merged into Virgin Records America. Queensrÿche was forced to use their own money to finance the remainder of the tour, during which founding member Chris DeGarmo announced he was leaving the band. DeGarmo would return to play and co-write five songs for Tribe in 2003, but did not officially rejoin.

The band played only half the album on its 1997 tour with 5 songs still unplayed to date including: 'Cuckoo's Nest', 'Hero', 'Miles Away', 'All I Want' and 'sp00L'. However, 'sp00L' and 'Hero' have been played by Geoff Tate's band during the 2002 tour supporting his own solo album.
