Siege Perilous
- Where I Reign
. An epic, hypnotic Villain Song.
The Fourth Legacy
- The title track, "The Fourth Legacy", is an ode to the past, present, and future of the band as well as being a perfect showcase for Roy Khan's soaring vocals.
Karma
- The title song, "Karma", about a king's reflections on the value of his life, actions and legacy, and if he can truly escape the cycle if given another chance.
- "Don't You Cry". Now that is how you write a ballad.
- Just... "Temples of Gold". Admittedly it's more than a little reminiscent of Queensryche (not that that's a bad thing...), but it's one of their best ballads. Moving, borderline Tearjerker lyrics paired with an epic melody.
Epica
- "Center of the Universe". Even though he didn't record it originally, this is also one of Tommy Karevik's favorite songs to sing.
- The highly underrated "Wander" and "Descent of the Archangel" from Epica. Goes from heavy Tearjerker to one hell of a Villain Song and does it right!
- "A Feast for the Vain", certainly. A grand, classical-sounding song with Khan's totally sexy Mephisto voice in it. "Drowned in ecstasy", indeed.
- Here everyone, meet "III Ways to Epica".
The Black Halo
- "Soul Society" - an amazing, soaring piece about the afterlife. The positively uncanny likeness of the song's lyrics to the premise of Bleach only sweetens the deal for fans of shonen anime and manga.
- "Abandoned" has a beautiful piano and orchestral track and reflects Ariel's musings on his life since he left his lover.
- "Momento Mori" is the climax of the story and could be considered to be the high point of the album. It's definitely on the long side, which only gives it time to fully explore both the epic metal and gorgeous melodic segments that Kamelot does best, and showcases the talents of all members of the band excellently.
Ghost Opera
- "Love You To Death", the perfect balance between heartwarming and heartbreaking.
- The title track, "Ghost Opera" is a truly epic song that works for both villain tributes and grand battles.
Poetry of the Poisoned
- "If Tomorrow Came": So sexy, and a topic nearly everyone can identify with.
- "Hunter's Season": anybody could find a way to relate to it, anybody.
- "House On A Hill", fact: Simone + Roy equals AMAZING CHILLING SONG.
- "Necropolis": sexy riff, dirty lyrics, dark implications, contrasting vocals and very very dark...
- "Poetry for the Poisoned" from the album of the same name. If a specific part had too be mentioned, then "Part II: So Long". Or "All is Over", for its pure contrast and vocal melody.
- "Once Upon A Time", rather emotional lyrics, but inspiring all the same.
Silverthorn
- "Sacrimony". Not only does Tommy do amazing on vocals, it also has the vocals of Alissa White-Gluz and Elize Ryd, as well as an epic instrumental.
- "Prodigal Son", the climax of Silverthorn. Tommy Karevik really shines here, particularly in "Part I: The Funerale".
- The bonus track, "Leaving too Soon". It is a highly underrated track, with a beautiful instrumental and Tommy absolutely shining in vocals.
Haven
- "Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy)". It has a great balance of powerful chorus, instrumentals and vocals, fitting for a song about ideals clashing and destruction. This song deserves extra awesome points for featuring Alissa White-Gluz's amazing (and underused) clean vocals.
- Though slower than Kamelot's usual material, "Citizen Zero" is a spine chiller with its pounding rhythm and cold, sharp lyrics.
The Shadow Theory
- "Amnesiac". Even with heavy synthesizers to replace their usual Symphonic Metal arrangement, Kamelot know how to pack a punch.
- A fan favorite, "Static" mixes the usual and new elements of their music together into a beautiful Power Ballad.
