kamelot - epica

bungkusan dari uk yg diterima serentak dgn bungkusan metallica - reload & nirvana - in utero jumaat lepas 26/6/2009. ni la bungkusan yg plng aku tggu2 berbanding yg lain, kenapa? coz this was one of my most favourite album of all... kamelot - epica (selain album the black halo dan ghost opera)

cd epica ni aku order (bkn menang bid) from ebay user badlandsuk location ofkosla uk, dgn hrga £4.99+3.50 (RM46.51) album ni aku dah survey merata ebay utk compare hrga so user ni jual plng murah utk cd yg baru dan sealed berbanding user2 lain yg rata2nya RM50 ke atas (dah tmbh hrga pos). btw, this user runs an ebay shop badlands record uk antara ebay shop yg mmg femes kat uk, dia jugak mmg ada kedai muzik dgn nama yg sama, for more info visit their website badlands. so next time klu rasa2 nak cari cd ori, new and sealed... user ni mmg aku rekomenkan

kronologi - aku order kat ebay 25/5/2009 cop pelepasan kastam (unknown) cop pjbt pos bintulu (unknown)... dorg lupa cop ke apa ni? tp, mmg penantian suatu penyeksaan lebih2 lg klu benda yg mmg kita idam2kan. klu cd lain lmbt aku xkisah sgt

spt yg tertulis kat item info kat ebay, cd ni new and sealed. bila dah bukak plastik sealed isi kat dlm mmg perfect as expected from a new and sealed stuff, inlay dan artwork mmg mint cd kat dlm perfect scratchless. album ni (p) 2003 (c) 2007 sanctuary records group ltd. under noise record label. album ni release somewhere in 2003 tp cd aku ni re-release in 2007

album ni aku dah donlod somewhere in 2005 utk sessi trial and listen, sbb sblm tu aku dgr lagu ballad dorg don't you cry dari album karma... mmg masyuk!~ lagu 1st yg aku dgr dlm album epica ni pun lagu ballad on the coldest winter night... lagi masyuk!~ tp bila dah dgr keseluruhan album aku tergamam, this band was much better than other power metal bands (pendapat aku la) sbb album dorg ni ada konsep (concept album) maknanya keseluruhan lagu2 dlm album adalah cerita dari mula smpi abis... mcm style album2 king diamond (abigail, them, conspiracy, etc) selain itu, muzik dorg pun variable from high-octane power metal to slow pace ballad and traditional. ia juga diselang-selikan dgn bbrp interlude sbg kesinambungan antara lagu2 (heh... ni mcm dah review album style abg ben ni)

keseluruhan album mmg best, aku rekomen 110% korg puas hati klu dgr album ni (kecuali sapa2 yg xminat power metal atau concept album) semua lagu2 dlm album ni (kecuali interlude2) mmg febret aku, dari yg full-throttle double-pedal power-metal center of the universe, farewell, descent of the archangel, a feast for the vain, iii ways to epica kepada lagu fusion metal-traditional lost & damned, kepada lagu2 moderate paced the edge of paradise, the mourning after dan xlupa lagu2 ballad yg kilar! (killer) wander, on the coldest winter night dan helena's theme (ni vocal isteri thomas ni, mary youngblood) bbrp lagu dlm album ni ada dimuatkan dlm dvd konsert one cold winter's night yg aku review dulu

suara roy khan mmg best, solo works drp thomas youngblood mmg menyengat. bbrp solo dlm album ni sure akan menjadi siulan korg. drummer casey grillo dan bassist glenn barry klu dah tgk dlm dvd konsert baru tau betapa hebatnya dorg ni. guest keyboardist utk album ni aku lupa sapa nama, sblm dorg rekrut oliver palotai utk album2 seterusnya the black halo, ghost opera (next project ni...)

aku prnh layan album ni dulu hmpr 3 bln berterusan... pc kat tmpt kerja, pc kat rumah, transfer masuk dlm mp3 player, dgr sama ada waktu dlm bas perjalanan from penang-kl atau semasa dlm flight penang-klia-kk. lagu2 dlm album ni jugak klu aku dgr blk mengingatkan aku memori2 terakhir waktu aku keja kat penang dulu. mcm sedih la plak bunyinya...

well, secara rasminya aku memiliki album ni setelah bbrp thn dgr mp3 donlod - so thomas, aku dah tebus kesalahan aku dgn membeli cd ori ni :) utk hasil seni kamelot slalunya x akan menghampakan... aku bg 5/5 bintang klu bleh 6/5

ekceli klu xsilap album epica ni adalah 1 drp "trilogy concept album" mengenai helena iaitu karma, epica dan the black halo cerita sambung2. tp yg pastinya aku akan kumpul album2 kamelot ni tp hanya utk vocal roy khan shj. vocalist sblm tu mcm xbest je... cd album the black halo aku dah order, sabar2 nnti bln dpn dah smpi baru aku review

p/s: xpnh2 aku review album smpi pnjng mcm ni dlm blog... slalu2 cerita biasa je
