 Awesome Nov 19, 2009
This is probably the easiest Coheed and Cambria album to get into. I was hooked after my first time through. Though starting with The Second Stage Turbine Blade, their first album, would keep you less lost as far as the storyline goes, this is a great album for getting into the sound of Coheed and Cambria. I definitely recommend it.
What did I do to deserve all of this album? Sep 03, 2009
I don't believe this to be Coheed's best album, but the album gods shined their benevolence upon us by having Coheed put this one out. Everything but "A Favor House Atlantic" is very, very good. This album was definitely their first real attempt at some Progressive Rock, even though some of the first album lightly touched some Prog, and it works very well. Key tracks for the Prog kids: "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3", "The Crowing", "The Light & The Glass", and the ridiculously epic "21:13" (the hidden track [it contains 5 different time signatures: 4/4, 2/4, 9/8, 15/16, and 6/8]). Get it because it's well worth getting.
A lone 21st Century Gem Jun 24, 2009
First of all, let me start by saying, for the most part I despise music from this decade. I'm only 31, but cannot stand it, I listen to mostly classic rock, and am a HUGE Pink Floyd fan.
I find Co & Ca similar to Floyd in their lyrics, which are dark, but well thought out and potentially meaningful (Even though they are based on the story).
I am also a huge fan of the concept album, so here you go. People who think this is Emo don't know what that drivel is. He has a different voice, does that make it bad? Roger Waters has a different voice, people still accept it.
I'm not saying their Floyd, obviously, but they are the only post 2000 band that I haven't just shook my head at.
Moving and Nearly EPIC Jun 19, 2009
"Coheed & Cambria" cannot easily be classified. They are a mixture of many genres- rock, metal, alternative, classical (yes), and punk. There is screaming in the background, poppy vocals and peppy tones- all mixed well together to carry out over epic songs.
It is very easy to get "lost" in this music. To listen and get transported to wherever it is that they are singing and playing from. In one song: "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3", it is easy to picture the war that they are singing about: "Man your battle stations! we'll have you dead pretty soon... Man your battle stations! we'll have you home pretty soon..."
It is very easy to just... flow with the music. To get wrapped up in it, letting it course through your veins and basically hypnotize you. "In Keeping Secrets" is definitely my favorite song on this album... but every single song is fan-f&ing-tastic! It is an amazing album. Unlike any other!
If you like punk music, but also like rock and metal, this album and this band is the perfect fit for you!
 Strained assuredness Apr 14, 2009
There was definitely something appealing inherent in this ambitious group's second prog-rock release that made you want to familiarize yourself with the material. Predicated upon taught guitar lines and gripping vocals, and C&C feel every ounce like that punk-prog medium found between At the Drive In and Mars Volta. But too often, melodies tend to drift off into power chord oblivion, when all too often more energy seems dedicated toward the rock elements over progressive.
