...concept with the masterpiece, The Black Halo. The album could be considered darker, and more emotive than Epica, and the music certainly reflects this.
The album contains a mixture of slower, balladic songs, medium tempo Horn Thrusters and allegro-fast head bangers. Allied with the breath taking vocals of Roy Kahn, there is alot of chance for keyboardist Oliver Patoli and guitarist Thomas Youngblood to show off.

Advantages: Awesome Disadvantages: you also have to sleep.
...a negative person in general, God knows I tried to find something to whine about. However, the track rating is honest, not because the artist paid me to kiss theire musical butts.
Rated 16/18 tracks, because 2 are intro & outro.
Total rating = 154.5/160 = 9.656 = ~~~~>> 9.7/10 <<~~~~
Album art rating is ofcourse a beautiful 10.0/10.0
This brings the average rating to 9.85/10, which is a 9.9, and the album deserves it.
-----Conclusion-----
I have no words except for these prox 2620 to describe how great this performance is. Most tracks are taken from the 'BlackHalo' album, and then played 53 times better.. Kamelot fans that do not have this performance yet, get it.. NOW! It rocks, you can not hate this if
you even slightly like Kamelot. Roy Khan has never sounded this good before, it is a very tasty treat.
Which leaves me with this...
