Kamelot - Ghost Opera

Mediocrity at best

I have heard sooooooo many things about Kamelot, and most of them were good. Most power metal bands' latest albums are usually never the best place to start and that's where I think I went wrong here.

I really was not expecting much to begin with, and even then, I was disappointed. Not too many catchy choruses or memorable solos or anything... The album just doesn't stick out among many other power metal albums. Uhh, there's really not much else to say. I want to get more into Kamelot. To anyone else, this is not a good place to start in their discography. August 16, 2008

When you want to hear some great powerprog metal

This album is boring boring boring!!!!! June 7, 2008

Great album, outrageous Amazon review!

It's unbelievable that someone as ignorant as this Amazon reviewer can write music review for a living! With a name like his, something like Red Boudoir, no wonder he's confused! The only common feature of Khan and Geoff Tate is they both have short hair. Comparing Kamelot's catchy power fast-driven metal to Korn's subpar monotonous rapping thrashy metal is a disgrace! I don't wanna even talk about the other second rate band, A7X. My nephew is a Korn fan, he never heard of Deep Purple. That tells you how different Kamelot's fans are from the listeners of those bands Boudoir foolishly claimed Kamelot is emulating. April 22, 2008

Skip Amazon's Review and Read The Listeners

You can read the reviews for this album and take it that Kamelot's Ghost Opera is one of the most advance and beautiful power metal albums out there. I encourage reviewers to read customer input and not some of the nonsense that was spouted by the Amazon Reviewer. There is not a single album where Roy Kahn sounds like Geoff Tate of Queensryche, this is simply ignorant. Also stating that Kamelot is seeking attention from the Korn and Avenge Sevenfold crowd is ridiculous.

The reviewer does state that they are more than the average power metal band which is true. Unfortunately saying that Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys was a failure is an oxymoron. That album is what influenced all the newer Power Metal bands.

If you are interested in Power Metal get the latest Kamelot album, Ghost Opera. If you want to see how Power Metal started then listen to Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys.

Truly amazing, Kamelot takes another brilliant direction.

Ghost Opera proves the seemingly limitless potential of Kamelot.

Masterfully arranged music with powerful lyrics, you will be taken places with this album. February 15, 2008
