Best Camel album?

[Korlich]

I know this is off topic (Shoot me). But i wondered which camel album you guys consideret the best. The reason i´m asking is that this band keeps appearing as an influence to Opeth and i´d like to hear their best effort.

I think you'll find Moonmadness is the one.

they have A LOT of albums, but after hearing 3 of them, and not imagining how anything can beat Mirage, needless to say, I would get Mirage.

 

[IAmTheAntichrist]

Akerfeldt named Moonmadness as what he considers their "masterpiece" in an interview.

 

[RjBeals]

I like the song "Uneven Song" the best, but i don't know what album its from.

 

[Demonspell]

It's from Raindances, which isn't one of their best, although that is a great song. Get Mirage and/or Moonmadness first.

Mirage or Moonmadness, then Snow Goose and Camel

 

[commandante]

Rain Dances...

Hard to say as there is so many. But my name kinda gives away a fav song.

 

[Korlich]

K I guess i´ll get Mirage or Moonmadness. Thx for replying!

i got camel's self titled, and for any of those who have it, is it just me, or does the intro to Never Let Go sound strikingly similar to Benighted? now let me reword that. doesn't Benighted sound strikingly similar to camel's Never Let Go? it certainly does, just speeded up a bit.

 

[deliverance]

DAMN i was hoping to get some feedback.

 

[KTR83]

Moonmadness, for me is one of the greatest albums ever.

 

[L0bster]

Mirage and S/T I'd say

 

[Korlich]

Btw which song influenced "Ending credits" ? Mikael said it was a rip off but from which song??

 

[Staffan]

Mirage can't be denied for having both white rider and lady fantasy... choosing between the first four is like chosing your favourite child(if you have any)

 

[Mind of Winter]

Air born rocks

Agreed.

I recently downloaded some Camel songs. When "Never Let Go" came on, i thought i had put some Opeth into my playlist by accident. The intro is basically the "Benighted" riff a step up. No big deal i suppose, but yeah, definately noticeable.

Man, that song is some gay sounding shit. It sounds like Abba with a decent guitarist.
