"I cant believe this, how can those who already have this cd NOT review this excellant band's latest album!? the multimedia pc section was awesome to the extreme. kudos to Mya for supplying those superb 3d animations. and kamelot has outdone themselves this time. having various musical influences from around the world, i could here the familiar tunes of arabic/east indies and some japanese sounding tunes(as much as i can recognize). i have this 'fetish' for arabic tunes after listening to Nights Of Arabia from their older album, The Fourth Legacy, which was amplified more in LOTR's latest movie, TTT, when the elves came to helm's deep for reinforcements, the arabic/east indies influence is obvious. gone are their technical bruteness, replaced with finesse and ballards. that might be my onli complaint, since i enjoyed heavier tracks like Fall From Grace and Karma in the last album. overall its a magical journey of amazing proportions. hell even the covers are uber 1337. all this shows how much they stand apart from your traditional run of the mill, metal bands. Notable songs include Center of the universe, farewell, edge of paradise, a feast for the vain. well IMO anyway. order hard and fast, the ltd edition isnt available on kamelot's own e-shop anymore even, so pray that the ones over here dun run out as well.CHEERS!"
