3.5 greatXenorazr | May 5th 15

This is a small step in the right direction. In most respects, this is more of what we've seen Kamelot do before--with some thematic exceptions, but the fact we're getting some truly fun and catchy tracks again is what makes Haven feel as refreshing as it does. Half of the album achieves a level of desire to repeat individual songs, something severely missing from the last decade of the band's catalog. For that alone, Haven has my recommendation, despite its own redundancies.

4.0 excellentBRAman22 | August 4th 15

This is some pretty good somewhat progressive power metal that has a very dark mood to it.

4.5 superbnewbatthis | May 13th 15

The only flaw is this album is too short thanks to the interlude and outro.

4.0 excellentJared Floryan | May 13th 15

Frontman Tommy Karevik's performance is the one aspect on Kamelot's Haven that easily stands out the most, but let's not quickly dismiss the overall musicianship here. It's a solid slab of power metal which manages to take a few of its cues from the utilization of symphonic arrangements without really going overboard, and the clean production suits many of the songs on this album (namely "Veil of Elysium," "Under Grey Skies," and "Here's to the Fall"). The record is consistently on point as far as both composition and atmosphere go.

3.5 greatMythodea | May 7th 15

Some excellent songs, some great and some decent. Kamelot put out a record that will please any fan, even if it doesn't reach Epica/The Black Halo heights. Kaverik seems to feel nice in his position, the band's performance is excellent and there are new treats and perspectives here and there to make the final product sound fresh. rRecommended tracks:Beautiful Apocalypse,Liar Liar, Revolution,

is it cheesy? yes. Does it kick ass though? Absolutely!

Bump

4.0 excellenttheChickenCow | April 9th 16

4 is definitely an overrating. rOh well, I am a fanboi.

Bump

3.5 greatMaidenUFO | January 21st 16

A pretty good album by one of the most important power metal bands with beautiful songs like "Fallen Star", "Insomnia", "Veil of elysium", "End of innoncence", "Beautiful apocalypse" and the ballad "Here's to fall".

1.0 awfulredsonnet | September 23rd 15

Ugh! Just too over the top...like Nightwish. Just embarrassing.

Bump

3.1 goodTrey STAFF | September 11th 15

Is it me or does this album just feel lethargic? I really liked a few of their earlier albums, but this one seems to lack energy. Even the faster songs just feel lethargic.

3.0 goodthestop5 | May 13th 15

6.5/10

Bump

0.0 Johnny Maccaroni | May 6th 15

More in the lines of "the black halo", the music was composed around Karevik's singing abilities, so I guess that's the reason why he sounds so much like Khan on this record. 3.8/5 for me, nothing new, but a good listen for any Kamelot fan.
