Kamelot
Ghost Opera (The Second Coming)
Rating
Style: Power Metal
Release date: March 31st 2008
 

This is the re-release of 'Ghost Opera' enhanced with the videos for "Memento Mori" recorded live in Belgrade, Serbia during their European tour in 2007 and for "The Human Stain" on disc one. I won't use more space on the album because all Kamelot fans know it by now...

The real treat is disc two; ten live cuts from Belgrade where they play ten of my favourite Kamelot songs in front of a great and enthusiastic crowd. The sound is outstanding and the band presents itself in outstanding shape on this evening.

The four studio takes give the fans an opportunity to get those songs as well. And this release is solely for the hard core Kamelot fans, the ones that simply have to won everything they put out...
My initial rating for the "Ghost Opera" album was 92, and the live recording plus the extra's is worth 88, so my rating is a flat 90.
