Kamelot - Myths & Legends Of Kamelot

This particular album is a compilation of older recordings of the band, live performances and includes 15 tracks. The compilation of the tracks is quite good however some of the radio versions like “Soul Society”, “The Haunting” and “March of Mephisto”, could have been left out. Also the ballads “One day”, bonus in the Japanese version of “Siege Perilous”, and “Can you Remember” recorded live aren’t tracks which add up to the result of this release. I feel that the peaks of this release are “We are not Separate” and “Like the Shadows”, with the great performances of Roy Khan, which drives your mind away. Highlights in the compilation also are the magical “Season’s End”, which literally hypnotizes you and also “Pendulous Fall”, which is close to the style of their latest album as it is a bonus track to the limited edition of the “Ghost Opera”. The final track “Epilogue” live, concludes the album in the best possible way because all of us who have watched this band play live know that no sound engineering can top the vocal abilities of Roy. I would recommend this album to all fans of the band as it is a good collector’s item. As a compilation though, I don’t feel it can give out the style of Kamelot’s music, which can be traced in their full length albums, and my rating is based on the selection of the songs.
