Hi guys!

Most hardrockers that don't prefer power metal often thinks that it is boring music, to much swords and dragons etc.

I don't listen much to power myself, but some weeks ago I heard Kamelot and the cd Karma. Anyone else who heard it?
However, their guitarist Thomas Youngblood does most of the music, as I understood it. Is he good? I made my own tablatures over "Forever", "Requiem of Innocent" and "Fall from grace".

I can't decide wether it's good or standard. I found their music more complex than I thought first time I heard it. Does the music refer alot to Rhapsody (a band I have almost not heard)? Well, just give me your opinion.

Ps. My opinion is that their singer, Roy Khan, kicks Geoff Tate and Michael Kisk. Big words, but honestly, I saw Kamelot this sommer at Sweden Rock Festival (which Queensrÿche visited aswell) and Roy sings perhaps better live than on the studio album. Ds
