Great debut by Camel, providing smooth and well written prog rock from start to finish.

Masterpiece. Technical, jazzy, progressive, but never too pretentious. Trade-off solos between the guitarist sweep-picking arpeggios with the organ with the rhythms secrion going mad behind it. Build-ups culminating in mad jams. Not much more you could want.

Anyone else find it weird how I think this album sounds better than their Mirage album?

Holy shit these guys dont miss???!!rIn the heat of battle they dont miss. In the heat of controversy they don't miss. This admittedly feels less proggy and conceptual than what they'd go on to do but STILL

Very often I see Camel's self-titled debut to be overlooked and not getting the necessary praise it deserves. Indeed, Camel does not have the avant-garde status of King Crimson, the overambition of Yes or the theatrics of Genesis however, they keep the ground rules of progressive rock intact. The instrumentation in Camel is emotional, pleasant, melodic and above all coherent. Recommendations: "Mystic Queen", "Separation", "Never Let Go".

Excellent musicianship and instrumentation. Vocal is good and so are the bass and keyboards but to me, the guitar and drums stole the show. The songs are unique in various time signatures. Despite having keyboards, they do not sound like the many keyboard driven prog bands of the 60s and 70s.

This album might seem like a 4 or 4,5 for most people, but the way it's so laid back with absolutely NO still-time is incredible. Also, Six Ate is one of the greatest songs by Camel.

An amazing effort, one of Camel greatest.rIf you have liked Mirage you will like this for sure.rMy favorite track is probably Separation.

Just the BEST album EVER. I'm not sure why I like Camel's self titled so much, but I love it. Oh, and just for the records, Andy Ward is one of the best drummers out there.
