DREAM THEATER - In The Presence of Enemies


This track is actually split into two (one at the begining and one at the end) on their new album "Systematic Chaos". I wondered what it would sound like as one song. Sweet.

KAMELOT - Myths and Legends of Kamelot


Power metal basically sucks. It sounds like really fast Hair Metal with (usually) screaching vocals. Kamelot at least has a proper singer who can really sing! Supposedly this is a bootleg, but one of the images of the back has the SPV logo. These are Special Edition and Rare bonus tracks.
1. Future Kings
2. Like The Shadows
3. Ne Pleure Pas
4. Soul Society (Radio Edit)
5. Epilogue

13. Season's End
14. The Pendulus Fall
15. Epilogue (Live)

2. Profit In Peace
3. Better Day
4. Traveller's Tune
5. Soul Driver
6. Jane, She Got Excavated
