Islands is quite good all the way through. I hated it for many years but it has grown well on me, with the exception of the Prelude. Mirage is even better though.

Both great and really beautiful albums, but I would choose Islands.

Yeah, this is one of the few KC albums that doesn't do much for me.

Wow, good poll.

But I'll have to go with Islands, my favorite KC album and one of my fave albums all-time. 

Mirage is still excellent.

I love Islands, but Mirage is probably my favourite Camel album. Islands is a flawed masterpiece IMO and I don't listen to it much, but when I do I enjoy it.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

The only Camel album that could beat a Crimson record, when compared to a certain 1974 Crimson however...

Anyway, one of my favorite albums actually that Mirage. it got something magic.

Islands is a masterpiece imo. Mirage is one of the more boring prog albums I've come across. I actually sold my copy a while back. I shouldn't have, I'll buy it back someday and give it another try.
