Well, either way, it still ends abruptly - though I am still inclined to think of it as sort of a conceptual album - but not fully conceptual. Maybe I am spoiled, but I want the end of the albums to blow me away, it is the last song, and Kamelot has yet to do it. This doesn't mean I don't love the band, I have been a fan of Kamelot before most people even knew the genre existed.
Great album, but weak ending as usual. It just all of a sudden ends, with no great closing piece to tie it up, like most conceptual albums do. If Kamelot can end their albums better, they would rank higher on my list.
