Thank you Willie for noticing and being encouraging. It’s taken a long time but I’ve finally settled on a review type that suits me best.

I am not familiar with the new singer's material, but they managed to get a good Khan soundalike here.

Also this has some of the worst autotune I heared in a while tbh

@Willie: But with Fourth Legacy the Khan era just started. Are the albums before any good? I only cared for their Khan material tbh

"... I heared in a while."

That puts it into perspective. I am sure there is much much worse out there. Still not enjoying it though 😅

My Pantheon (Forevermore) is only song with replay value - change my mind, the rest is mediocre at best. Don't know this band and I don't want meet them either, now.

@kalkwiese: The albums before The Fourth Legacy are terrible, IMO.

Okay, I see. Do I get it right that you only like The Fourth Legacy then? Lol

Yes, that is accurate. Although this one is actually pretty good.



Kamelot have always been a little cheesy and bombastic, but my problem with the new singer is he took it so much further. It's bombastic flamboyance or Progressive Musical Theater Metal. Maybe they're finally breaking me down or maybe this is just better than the other albums with the new guy.

This is maybe a bit too cheesy for me but I cannot call this bad at all. Great vocals, production is quite nice too

since i lost the track, not sure this album is like a bit resurrection of the band since Khan and Grillo left.
songs like Opus of the Night kinda promising something big from this band.

Good album by Kamelot standards, but Haven is still their best post Roy Khan album.

I don't think this album will change the minds of people who weren't fans of the band. Nothing drastically new here, feels like an improved iteration of Shadow Theory.

Siege Perilous is the first Khan album. Not bad but not great either. anything before that is not worth the time of day. Their ascension started with The Fourth Legacy.



So far of all the post Khan albums, Haven is best.

Fourth Legacy to Black Halo is an incredible run. Haven't checked the last two Khan albums, but apparently he got burned out from touring and it had an effect on his vocal melodies, that really make the great Kamelot songs imo.

@Kalkwiese Contrary to popular opinion I love Poetry for the Poisoned. Khan's vocals are gritty, the band's sound is darker and it makes for a great listen.

Yeah, I find Poetry underrated as well, although I can understand why the main audience for the band didn't really dig it. The darker and more gothic atmosphere is a plus for me and it makes the record pretty unique in their discography, even if it has a subtler, more withdrawn performance from Roy, who definitely wasn't in the greatest place during those times.

Couldn't agree more. At least they were aiming for something different on Poetry.



And speaking of underdogs, Siege also gets a shitload of undeserved hate. Lots of great stuff there and probably the only Kamelot album with Kahn/Tommy that sort of deserves the tag "prog".
