5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, melodious, moving...they crank, August 19, 2003

By	D. Crain "nanohead" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Another band that satisfies my jones for hard driving, melody centered music, with progressive creativities. I admit, I am pathologically addicted to Symphony X, and now to Kamelot as well.

Karma is all over the place, slow, fast, driving, pounding, epic sounding in some places. They are like the other bands I love, not ego driven, little gratuitous guitar thrashing, little bombastic showmanship that doesn't fit in the context of their overall music. Everything fits, they display teamwork, and there is no thrashing (thank heavens).

They never fall into the trap that so many guitar driven bands fall into (Rhapsody, or Malmsteen as an example), where guitar noise takes over and the melody and the message of the song gets lost in noise and pounding distorted technical playing. These guys just love music and it shows. Lots of interesting instruments, and different vocal interludes. And Khan simply cranks. King Khan is awesome!!

I love these guys. Karma is awesome,

4.0 out of 5 stars "don't you miss the ancient times/the riddles and the subtle signs", May 24, 2006

By	rocksnstars (Tolland, CT United States) - See all my reviews

Since this review is being done after Kamelot released two later CD's, it is a rare instance of being able to look forward to the future instead of the usual longing for the past. The music here is better than the previous (The Fourth Legacy) and growing toward the brilliance of Epica and The Black Halo. Khan's voice is noticely developed and the band's overall performance is sharper than in the former but much more improvement awaits in the latter. However, Kamelot's less-than-perfect works are better than the best music of a lot of other bands and easily rates four marks. (Please see my profile for a brief discussion of my rating philosophy.)

5.0 out of 5 stars I thik I did a good job here..., March 29, 2005

By	HopFrog (Hendrix College) - See all my reviews

Right. I bought this album to give to my boyfriend - it's his type of music - but it ended up that not only was it definately his type of music, but mine as well. Normally we don't agree. He likes thrash and power metal, but I like doom and gothic metal. Or at least that's how it normally goes. I love this disk. I absolutely love this disk. Nothing like what I normally listen to, but in this there is finally something that he and I can agree on.
Kamelot rocks.
For a random pick, I think I picked a winner.
