So, I went back and started listening to Kamelot again. I forgot how absolutely amazing they are. I mean, how many bands can pull off concept albums that actually use certain themes over (sorta the way a lot of FF music uses the same theme in multiple songs on occasion, but it's not like they're the same song, just remixed) and still come off as having absolutely astounding music writing skills? They are absurdly skilled (they don't show off, but just listen to how perfectly times things are, and how wicked the solos are). Roy Khan is an absurdly underrated singer.
I could go on, but this is long enough. Fuck, I love Kamelot.
