Let's review and discuss new albums!

Completely agree! It's definitely the best they've done since Natural Born Chaos, which will probably never be topped. There are some amazing songs on the album, and the amount of guitar solos is staggering.

Haven't heard new Kamelot yet, but I'm anxiously awaiting my first listen.

I agree that NBC was thier best and will probably never be topped. I think Bjorn's vocals are very versatile; however, I wish he would have never started using the screamo/yelling style on TPB. They still don't bother me too much as I have gotten more used to them and there are plenty of clean vox with the occasional growl in there. It just bothers me a bit because the screams are almost on the borderline of being growls so it seems as if he is just being lazy more than anything. On another note the drumwork is superb and definately a highlight of the album. I would have to say the same for NBC which may be a reason I feel some similarities between the two albums. Anyway, I feel the drummer deserves some major kudos!
