You should read my review of the album, I gave it much praise. Like others have said too, I did an interview with Reingold and it turned out great.
See, I'm not an a****le (all the time) I'm just heavily opinionated.  |

All Prog music lovers are opinionated - that is after all what our music is all about!! I see that the ratings for all 3 albums have been high - maybe a prog masterpiece or two in the making!!!!

I bought Wheel Of Life several months back and thoroughly enjoyed it. It didn't blow me away, but I found it to be worthy to keep earmarked for the future. I then got Who's The Boss... and that really got me to take notice. Such a dramatic leap forward. I hope Jonas keeps this going.

I haven't heard the new album, but I was VERY happy with Entering the Spectra. (The first one never really caught my attention, though.)

I've been meaning to try these guys out. Looks like it's time to really give them a fair shake. Though, I'm not going to get my hopes up too high, because no offense but, if it took you this long to find a band you like more than Dream Theater then you and I are obviousely very different people in what we consider top-notch stuff musically.
Then again, we may just agree. I have yet to find a modern band I like better than Tool (Porcupine Tree almost made it, but ultimately came in second place), so who knows, maybe these guys can do it. It's doubtful, but maybe.
I know I will like them alot if not adore them, though. I hear nothing but good things about them, and I love symphonic prog. Though you say Karmakanic really isn't symphonic, so now I'm even more out of the loop.

Awesome band, even if the pun in their name makes me go
 . What I like the most about them is that their sound is very lush and varied, if that makes any sense at all.Incidentally, does anyone else think they sound sort of similar to Magic Pie? |

I'm a huge fan of The Flower Kings, and have been contemplating an investment in Karmakanic for some time now. I love Reingold as a bassist.
However, the suggestion that they are like Magic Pie is a bit off-putting for me. I bought Motions Of Desire a few months ago, and despite numerous listens it has done nothing for me. It's my most disappointing purchase in the whole of 2008. I've only really grown to like one track, Without Knowing Why, the rest do nothing for me. Can't quite put my finger on it, they're like hard rock with keyboards, not what I'd call symphonic at all. Are Karmakanic really like them?

My review says it all. I don't like repeating it all, except for ALBUM OF THE YEAR (without competition)

Their latest album is pretty stunning and possibly the best in 2008...
I am not sure about the previous ones but this is a gem!!! I am preparing a review ASAP!!! |

I don't know how Karmakanic can be classified as anything other than symphonic prog. I feel as though I'm in the minority when saying that their entire album isn't pure genius although the first track is some of the best 19.5 minutes of music I have ever heard. I would comment on it being album of the year, but my knowledge of 2008 releases is confined almost exclusively to Who's the Boss in the Factory. I am interested in checking out their first two releases in due time.

I recently gave Who's The Boss.....a five star review, and it thoroughly deserved it. I will definitely be investing in the first two as a result of winning this album. An incredibly thoughtful and well produced piece of work. I hope they keep the project going.
