This amuses me because just this week I decided to check out Camel (along with some other bands). Unfortunately I find myself torn. While I love some of the songs ("Ice" on I Can See Your House from Here is especially nice), I don't really like the vocals, or the fact that lyrics seem almost an afterthought to some songs. I wish they'd either put some more effort into making the lyrics interesting, or if they can't, just leave the songs as instrumentals.
So far though I've only listened to some of the earlier stuff. If they improved on later albums, please tell me.
I'm doing better digging Renaissance.
