Kamelot

Kamelot releasing box set of 1st 3 lps

Very interesting move for a band who no longer acknowledges any music from their first 4-5 albums (and barely recognizes anything from albums that didn't come out in the last 15 years).

Cool that they're doing this (I assume some rights may have recently reverted?) but I won't be picking this up. Those first three records are rough, even if Siege has Khan on it.
 
Kamelot = continues to tour the same tired setlist and choreographed stage show for over a decade, Roy Khan = hold my beer


Round trip tickets from Chicago to Oslo are only about $400 right now....
 
The new album is more of the same: repetitive song structures, overwhelming keyboard orchestrations, barely any guitar presence, definitely zero bass presence, two many guest vocalists, the same stupid goth baddie aesthetic...it's pretty bland and forgettable.

Tommy sounds great, though, so I guess it's nice to hear 40 minutes of Tommy singing.
