MOONMADNESS

Is it wrong that I find the first track the best and most intriguing? I'm not sure if this is my favorite Camel album, as it kind of goes back and forth with Mirage. Camel is one of the most laid back bands I listen to, as the music more or less speaks for itself rather than the in your face approach.

I'm not captivated by the melodies, but I love them, in other words, the melodies don't really stick with you(at least not for me anyway) but I find myself enjoying it every time I hear them. To me, the intro alone is enough to have this record, even if its only 2 minutes.

The biggest detractors are the vocals and the length, along with the fact that you really have to focus. Camel doesnt work well in the background to truly enjoy them. Don't worry though my friend, the time spent is well worth it. An album that more than deserves a place higher up in the ratings.
