Matter of opinion.
They lost a lot when Henrik Lundqvist went to NY.

Oh Goodie, another priceless Kent album to add to the collection, and if I can get a ticket for the Saturday night gig in Stockholm i'll be there. Hope they do a tour of Sweden as i'll be able to see them again now that iv'e moved to Umeå!!
Kent wouldn't go to Scotland so Jimmy had to move to Sweden!!
I would like to be able to get "Tillbaka till samtiden" the day it comes out. However, being in America this is nearly impossible, legally at least.
I've looked at some Swedish CD websites, but I don't see any options for preordering the album and having it shipped here to the US. Maybe that will become available later?
It would be amazingly sweet if it was available in the USA iTunes Store. I know this isn't exactly up to Apple or to Kent, but to the record companies and where they want to distribute their music. I don't see any logical opposition to distributing the CD digitally in the US though, for the handful of Kent fans here.
Any suggestions?
Check iTunes US after the release date. Sometimes restricted songs become available in other countries accidentally. I got lucky in January with The Ark's "Sweden only" single.
The EU will stop regional restrictions in the future; what is released in Sweden will then immediately be available all over Europe.

The only Kent album available on U.S. iTunes is the Swedish version of Hagnesta Hill (though the titles are English for some reason). So I don't have high hopes to see the new album there. It's frustrating that you can log into the Swedish iTunes and see the albums there, but we can't buy them.
Buying any of the Kent CDs in the U.S., even used, can be expensive.
Does that Bengans store have a good reputation?
Amazon.com usually has Kent releases... their prices are high but independent sellers usually have good deals on used or new albums, and sometimes even the singles.
www.hotstuff.se will take American credit cards and ship to the States, I get most of the more rare Kent items from them, including vinyl.

So who's going to watch you die?"
In Sweden and Finland yes. There are still tickets for Trondheim dec 1 and Copenhagen dec 9.
