Product Description:
One of the leaders of American melodic metal returns with the re-release of their triumphant full length Ghost Opera , with an album-worth of additional live songs! After Kamelot hit their stride with their previous release, The Black Halo , fans responded enormously to the modern melodic metal masterpiece that is Ghost Opera . In addition to the unreleased tracks, the re-release includes a new cover by Mattias Noren, video footage, a booklet including Nocturnal Models for center spread, and an embossed collector s slipcover. Kamelot has become a true mark of quality and the re-release of Ghost Opera will impressively continue this grand tradition.

- An excellent album!!!
I already owned the first release of Ghost opera so I was a bit hesitant at first to pick up this re-release. the second disc which features a concert as well as four bonus tracks is well worth it in my opinion. the song "season's end" has quickly become one of my favorites.

- Masterpiece
Kamelot's latest offering, "Ghost Opera: The Second Coming" (GOTSC) boasts a delightful selection of complex, emotional compositions that showcases not only the superb writing skills (Khan/Youngblood) but superior musicianship of all the band members. The music conveys a strong kinship and respect the band members have for one another. Something that is rare in the music industry, but when talent such as Kamelot's becomes a united force, that talent explodes giving the listener a truly magical experience. GOTSC is a wonderful illustration of this magic. Listeners are treated not only to a studio release replete with videos, but also a second CD covering a live concert recorded in Belgrade, Serbia. I can only hope that Kamelot will release a DVD of that concert.

- A Must Have!
Yes, if you already have Ghost Opera The Second Coming is a must. The bonus Live CD and live video clip gives any Kamelot fan more listening enjoyment. I'm really looking forward to another qualiay DVD release (cross fingers) in the mean time this is a great listen!

- Most Excellent combination of studio and live material
I am amazed that this group has not found success in the US. They are huge in Europe for very good reason. Just take a listen to Roy Khan's amazing vocal quality and Thomas Youngblood's guitar work. Oliver Palotai supports the progressive-metal/metal-opera format with excellent keyboards. Glenn Barry on bass and Casey Grillo on drums round out the group who are often joined by a variety of talented vocalists and musicians including Simone Simons of Epica. Power tracks on disc 1 include 'Rule The World', 'The Human Stain', and 'Mourning Star'. The live disc #2 includes great reditions of 'The Haunting' (with Simone Simons), 'March of Mephisto', and the ballad 'Abandoned'. This is a must-have for anyone already familiar with Kamelot or anyone looking for a new favorite band in the progressive ... Read More

- Review is for the CD set only, not for the music
Ok, I'm not sure why Kamelot decided to re-release this album. I think disk 2 of this set alone would have made for a good release but I don't think packaging it with Ghost Opera was necessary. On that note, let's start with disk 2 (Live from Belgrade). Good song selection but its definetly missing a few. I went to the Ghost Opera tour and the song selection they had there was awesome, I just hope they had included a lot more songs here (at least more songs that were not included in the Cold Winter's Night Live CD). It also includes 3 new studio songs. Pendulous Fall is about the only one that stands out. Rule the World - Remix is HORRIBLE!! WHY KAMELOT??? Why did you choose to really destroy this song? Only if you like pop music will you like this song (I hope this is not the future of Kamelot). ... Read More
