Kamelot

Guest

I just seen this band live a few weeks ago - and I have to say they did a fine job. My opinion of them really went up. I've always liked them, but seeing them live really made me love them.

Any fans here?

I've been a fan since "Karma" way back when.

I personally feel that their new one, "Ghost Opera" is their best effort.

Don't really like it...Not 'cuz of the musique but the vocals...

I think their new one is lame. This is the 1st I had heard them though. Is all their previous stuff like their new one?

Guest

Well, personally I feel their new one is their best. And yes, they have not really diverted from their early stuff. It is a lot more raw naturally, however. But all in all their sound is very solid. They are not a band to switch styles quickly, yet they do introduce new elements in each album.

I like their first four. Melodic progressive metal, and well crafted. I haven't heard their recent albums.

I discovered Kamelot some weeks ago and purchased immediately 3 albums: Karma, Black Halo and One Cold Winter’s Night. The next one I’m looking forward to is Ghost Opera.

Blackieboy, you’re lucky that you saw them live. I want to see them as well.

I think they're a great band, I've been a fan of them since I heard The Black Halo. I've only heard the single off the new album and I like it - still need to properly check out the album though. They're a fantastic live band, I caught them at this year's ProgPower UK and they blew me away.

Pretty hit or miss with me. I loved the last one, but the new one bores me a little.

My least favorite album from them is "Epica". That one bored me a bit. But ... I still do like it though.

I'd rank the albums that I've purchased as such:

1. Ghost Opera
2. Karma
3. The Black Halo
4. Epica

those are the only ones I've owned.

I have the newest Kamelot and it just seems a bit light-weight and fluffy to me. Lots of keyboards, orchestration, etc., but light on the metal. Kamelot in general just don't seem to do much for me, although I love Roy Khan's voice, especially in Conception.

I will eventually review the CD once I've lived with it a while. Every once in a while I pull it out and give it another spin. It's just not doing it for me. I should have went to see the live as well. That might have made me appreciate the CD more.

I bought THE FOURTH LEGACY (I think that was the name of it? It had a picture of a hot chick with her back to the viewer, holding a sword aloft on the front cover) years back when it was a new release, didn't think much of it. Too much orchestration and not enough metal. Haven't bothered to check back in with Kamelot since then
