Must say I hadn't listened to Kamelot since Ghost Opera. Rediscovered due to new Album a few months back, and must say they've been consistently so good. I'm obsessed with every Album - Haven, Silverthorn, Shadow Theory, Awakening. They're all brilliant and have some wonderful songs. Really has risen to my favourite band. Lyrics are also consistently excellent & morally upstanding.

"Haven" is still better than newest album, but still Kamelot with Tommy don't have bad albums. This is as good as "The Shadow Theory".

I dunno, I just can't get into Kamelot's new stuff. Silverthorn was great (and one of their best, imo), and I like Tommy as a singer, but... there's just something missing in their newest releases.

I love how the first 2 forgettable mediocre songs are followed by 2 absolutely epic, magnificent hymns :D. What a rollercoaster.

Enjoyed their new album WAY more than I did with "Haven" and "The Shadow Theory".

Excellent album! Lots of catchy songs and glad they dropped the whole dystopian theme. Favourites are New Babylon, Great Divide, NightSky, One More Flag and Opus, but the rest are very solid too!

Agreed. I'm a total fanboy and struggle to be impartial but while I love Silverthorn, I was underwhelmed by their two most recent records. The Awakening isn't a return to form, but it's much, much better and far more consistently GOOD than those two.

The Ghost Opera references in the song are just great, loved the single, best one in years.

I hope the rest of the album is this good, though I did not like the One More Flag in The ground

1999-2006 imo (I love "The Fourth Legacy"). I like the stuff that came later as well, but that run of albums from "The Fourth Legacy" up to/including "The Black Halo" is fucking hard to beat.

I absolutely love The Fourth Legacy. But in my opinion there's still a gap of quality compared to Karma/Epica/The Black Halo and the live One Cold Winter's Night. The music is less original and closer to a traditional power metal album, plus Roy's voice is still too raw. I love the album and it has some all-time classics, but it hits different from Karma/Epica/The Black Halo personally.

I absolutely agree with you. The Karma/Epica/Black Halo era is distinctively their best and also my favorite of all music. One Cold Winter's Night also, I find myself liking it the most sometimes, I would give anything have been to the concert in Oslo, unfortunately I was 4 at the time

For me the peak is probably Black Halo/ Ghost Opera / PFTP. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but during those years I was such a huge fan. I don't think I have ever idolized a singer as much as I idolized Roy those years. Don't get me wrong, he is still unique, and Conception is awesome, it just isn't Kamelot. I even met Roy and the other guys in a meet and greet at Sweden Rock 2009. I am Swedish, and Roy is Norwegian and our languages are almost identical, so I spoke in Swedish and he answered in Norwegian. Nice memory!

I've been listening to Ghost Opera and The Black Halo again and, even after all these years later, they sound so fresh. Kamelot is not a band I care about nor the type of music I tend to listen to, but those two albums are one of my favorites ever

from 'The Fourth Legacy' onwards they had great albums in a row... just epic melodic power metal with great songwriting & arrangements. (mostly thanks to producer Sascha Paeth i think, cuz first 3 albums are so forgettable, even that one w/ Roy Khan)

agree. I discovered Kamelot when silverthorn was out. I listend to their older work but mostly their newer ones. Haven was my favorite for a long time. The shadow theory was geat as well but wasn't so new. More like an extension of Haven. Now I listened to the black halo, ghost opera etc and I feel like they lost their symphonic elements a little?

I wouldn't know. I lost interest in Kamelot when Khan left, even though I like their current vocalist on Ayreon albums. To me the symphonic elements on both Ghost Opera and The Black Halo are ideal, not over the top or underused

I understand, if you want to give them a try i think Haven is the best option. Silverthorn tried to continue the concept of their previous work but karevik's voice sounds hold back. In Haven his range sounds more natural. The shadow theory is in my opinion the same as Haven.

I stopped listening to them starting with Black Halo. Everything before that album was superb, everything after so boring.

I saw 'em live once with Dragonforce. They put on a hell of a show. I finally got one of their albums.

The Black Halo is still one of the best albums I've ever heard in my life. With one of the best vocal performances ever by Roy Khan.

I saw Kamelot the other night, and it was an amazing concert. Such a great mix of old and new songs. I really enjoy Tommy as vocalist, and I'm glad that he's comfortable singing so many of the songs that were previously Roy's.

And Silverthorn was better than both of the above. At least according to my taste.
