Kamelot - Ghost Opera Review

by Mike Rapin

.
Have you ever been in between a rock and a hard place? If so, you could say you feel the same way I do. I spoke with my editor and took four or five albums on a whim, mostly with a brief description for each. Today's review is on a band called Kamelot and with their album Ghost Opera, I am stuck in between liking the album and deciding it's not worth listening to ever again (a rock and a hard place, respectively) and here is my decision:

The album starts and has you in a feeling like this could be pretty epic and damn extravagant, but things continue onward and you get the feeling that this belongs on MTV alongside bands like Korn and Avenged Sevenfold. I was thinking this could have been some cool power metal band based on the name and such, but the 'nu-metal-ness' of it all makes any kind of value worthless. The music is very simplistic and what I would call off-tone-sing-songy.

I do understand that this isn't an American album and that European 'metal' is quite different, but this stuff reminds me of music along the lines of Artrosis (see my review...) but with less moaning and more boring (yea, you have a violin, so what?). Although two or three tracks near the end get a bit heavier and not so dull, the album as a whole isn't that impressive unless your into semi-boring wanna-be metal. End all ruling: not so good.

Track Listing:
1. Solitaire
2. Rule The World
3. Ghost Opera
4. The Human Stain
5. Blόcher
6. Love You To Death
7. Up Through The Ashes
8. Mourning Star
9. Silence Of The Darkness
10. Anthem
11. EdenEcho
12. The Pendulous Fall (bonus track)
