Wow Momento Mori, simply amazing.

This album definitely makes my Top-10 Of All Time list. It's just FAAAAb-u-LOUS !!!!!!

I've never found a generally acclaimed album so unappealing. Manufactured, cold, boring, and flat-out generic. I almost felt like I was listening to an Evanescence album at times.

This is one of those rare albums that deserves a 2nd comment from me. So here goes:
If I had my wish, I would give this album an 11/10. I absolutely LOOOOVE this album !!!

A true masterpiece 10/10
EDIT: After a few more spins not quite, but close.

Masterpiece

Wow Momento Mori, simply amazing.

Clearly the standout track on the album......."The Haunting" and "Nothing Ever Dies" would come in at number 2 and 3.

It was amazing and i considr it as one of the perfect albums for all time not just of kamelot's
but also of all metal history

my best songsis : March Of Mephisto - The Haunting (Somewhere In Time) - Moonlight -
The Black Halo - Memento Mor

I think after having this album for about five years, I finally like it. Excellent album.

It is a mystery for me... it isn't my usual style of power metal, so I guess I needed to get familiar with it.

Yeah after a few more listens, it's not quite as amazing as I initially thought. Still a fantastic album though.

Where's the boring, cold for god sake?

I bought this album several years ago after I first discovered Kamelot. Having drastically expanded my tastes and discovered a tremendous amount of great metal since then, I must say that this is still and may always will be my favorite album of all time. Featuring brilliant and melodic guitar work, beautiful symphonic elements, and a wonderfully balanced rhythm section, the instrumentals are incredible in their own right. Tying it all together is Khan's astonishing operatic vocals, not to mention great appearances from Simone Simons from Epica and Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir. This album is the perfect combination of light and dark, fast and slow, presented by lyrics that are nothing short of poetry. This is a masterpiece. I'm not going to talk about my favorite song or tell you which one I would listen to in order to get a good idea of what the album sounds like; I'm just going to tell you this: If would like to be immersed in metal poetry, then buy this album, put it on repeat, and learn for yourself what makes it so incredible. 10/10

Memento Mori is probably one of the most epic things ever. 5:05 - 6:40 has given me goosebumps pretty much everytime ive listened to it for a year

So it's declaration time then, and time to put this in writing:
THIS is my favorite Metal album of ALL TIME !!!!
Yes, there you go, I said it.

Please, not even more. The vocals are good, I admit, but I don't really like the way he's singing, that's my opinion. That album is well done and got something interesting, but this is not my universe.

It's an ok album, but not that fantastic. I don't die from boredom, at least!

This album is a masterpiece!

Album of the year, album of the ten years in power metal...

Very good album, in my opinion it's their best album: the storyline, performance, production, intrumentally and lyrics are really good. It's one of the best symphonic albums ever, and one of the best of the decade.

Anyone else found the hidden track 0?

If you haven't and want to hear it (it's just an opening narration a la "Dear Editor"), rewind the album in your cd player until it's at about -1:20 on track 1.

I can honestly say I've heard this album 100+ times (something I've done only with 3 other albums) and I'm not sick of it in the slightest. My favorite album of all time. No competition.

*Also, I am the only female to comment on any of the Kamelot albums that I see haha.

^^ yes, it's a great album Lanette... probably still their finest outing.

Have you tried any of the albums by Seventh Wonder, Karevik's former band? If you haven't, I think you'll be in for a very pleasant surprise... ;-)
