2012 Year In Review continues:

Then:


4th time listening and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Poetry came in very strong but apart from a few songs, faded out of memory. Had the same feeling with this one. Very strong while listening but not much staying power with the exception of a handful of songs. It's not the musicmanship which is as strong as ever and it's not the new vocalist as he's almost a carbon copy of Roy (in voice and appearance). It's either that the music is just not quite as memorable or I'm just burnt out on Kamelot. I still love 4th Legacy, Karma, Epica, and Black Halo but this is the 3rd one since then and it just doesn't hold me like those do (though I can say for sure they improve each time-from Ghost Opera to Poetry-so maybe the next one will work).

Now:
