Poetry For The Poisened is the third CD I've bought by Kamelot. Epica was the first Kamelot CD I bought. I really liked it. Then I bought The Black Halo. Before any of that I bouth their DVD One Cold Winter's Night. On to Poerty For The Poisened. When I read about it being released I thought that any follow up to The Black Halo would be difficult and though I might be taking a gamble here. I was glad I bought it. It is a really good album. Probably even a tad better than The Black Halo. I realy like the 15th track Where The Wild Roses as it is such a nice contrast to the other tracks. I would certainly recomment this albmm to anyon. It gets better each time I listen to it. I was bought up on "Heavy" music and as such it takes a lot to impress me. Fortunately there are a whole host of really good bands and artisits around today; Tarja; Within Temptation; Epica; Lacuna Coil; Leave's Eyes; Nightwish - and a few "new to me bands" that are defunct such as After Forever and Octavia Sperati.

Their 2002 release, Epica, which saw them launch into a more powerful approach, with better production, shot Kamelot directly into the spotlight. They followed this with another excellent album, The Black Halo.
Then, as we have come to expect over the years with this group, they released a very poor album, namely, Ghost Opera, pretty awful stuff.
So, I had mixed feelings, when I first played this latest offering.
However, we are nearly back to the standards of Epica and The Black Halo, this really was a return to form.
This may, in part, have something to do with the guest and additional musicians involved with this project.
The album kicks off with a heavy melodic track "The Great Pandomonium", then it drifts away a little, but, from "Hunters Season" (Gus G plays the guitar solo) onwards, the album is at it's best.
"House On The Hill" and in parts of the four piece "Poetry For The Poisoned" features the beautiful singing voice of Simone Simons.(why is she still messing around with that average band Epica?)
Another excellent track is the heavy melodic rock of "Seal Of Woven Years".
Having individually scored each song in turn, I ended up with an average of 3.7 stars and that's probably about right.
The next step for Kamelot now, will be very interesting, bearing in mind, that Roy Kahn will no longer be on vocal duty. Let's wait and see.

Oh dear!
I've been a huge Kamelot fan for a long time & loved almost all they've done - up till now. I found this album boring & repetetive. Read more

Currently my least favourite Kamelot album (but that could change!)
The first thing I noticed when I listened to this album is the harsh, slightly unpleasant sound of the production. It's very treble heavy and possibly over-compressed. Read more

Another Excellent Album
Excellent album, well worth the purchase, this band get better and better. Some excellent tracks on this album, a few fillers, but mainly gold standard gothic anthems. Read more

Fantastic Offering
Whilst this album is not up to the truly fantastic standards Kamelot set themselves with Epica/Black Halo, Poetry for the Poisoned is still a wonderful effort. Read more

Amazing!
I can't fault this album at all. It's fantastic and definitely worth buying! It may not be their best album to date, but I still love it :)
