Best modern band Sep 03, 2009 Lets face it, out of all their albums, this is probably my least favorite. Having said that, C&C is the only thing keeping my faith in rock music alive. You know that rock music is about dead when the biggest thing in rock music is horrible bands like the Jonas Bros. and Hannah Montana. Really C&C is the only modern bad I listen to, and that's because they are the only ones that come close to sounding like real rock bands like Rush and Yes. Lets face it, 70's progressive rock music is the only real music out there. Don't listen to people who say that Fall Out Boys are a good band, or that My Chemical Romance are a good band. Anyone who says that really don't know music at all.

My Favorite Coheed and Cambria Album Dec 12, 2008 The anticipation of the release of this album for me was through the roof. And it never has disappointed me.
There are very few albums out there that I can listen to completely through, in their entirety, without skipping. This is one of those albums.
The first track, "The Reaping", provides a buildup to the album that gets me extremely pumped. It's like you're standing on the edge of doom and death and you're saying your last words. I'm serious, hear me out!
Then "No World for Tomorrow" kicks in and you are head-first into my favorite song of all time. The guitar riffs are really infectious and the song's pace is fast and really rockin'. This song is probably the best on the album, in my opinion at least. I find myself driving and almost pumping my fist in the air at the part "Raise your hands high!" (Alright, I admit it, I have...more than a few times.)
The next track, "The Hound of Blood and Rank" has kind of a 90's alternative rock feel. The "Come on, come on, come on" kind of sounds like that Collective Soul song, but it's still awesome in its own right.
The 4th track and I think the latest single off the album "Feathers" is something I almost can't explain. You will get this song stuck in your head and you will sing along to it even when you don't mean to. (Also totally unrelated, but you should check out the music video for it-Claudio is a huge horror movie buff and the video is great.)
The "Running Free" comes next, which is a quick paced song that once again, you're going to sing along to and do the "whoa oh oh oh oh ohhhhh oh oh" (I tried) all day long. I brought this song to one of my spinning classes and the instructor LOVES it and plays it all the time. It's just really, really catchy and fun. This was the first single for the album, and with good reason.
"Mother Superior" is the ballad on this album, and it's heavy enough to not be wimpy, yet melodic enough to make you get little goosebumps. I don't know about everyone else, but I like the way he pronounces the word "baby", it kind of sounds like "boiby" but whatever, it still sounds great.
The next song is called "Gravemakers and Gunslingers" and it just rocks. This song is heavy and fast paced. I love that he compares being in love to shooting a gun. "Pull that trigger!"
After that song, it seems to slow down a bit, there's a little instrumental segment and then there's the song "Justice in Murder", followed by "The End Complete" series. The last song of the End Complete series we hear Claudio sounding slightly more raspy than his usual upper octave voice, but still great none-the-less.
Overall, this album is filled with greats. As I was writing I found myself unable to decide which was my true favorite. If you're a fan of Coheed and Cambria, you probably already own this, and I'm hoping you'll agree that this is a great finale to the series (unless you're counting the prequel as the true finale).
If you're not a fan, but enjoy some good rock n' roll mixed in with some modern rock and I guess a little emo for lack of a better word, check them out!

Perfect ending Dec 11, 2008 Even from the first album, they set up pretty damn big expectations for a conclusion to both the story and the albums. And contrary to almost every other band out there, they do not disappoint after 4 albums. Still somehow able to retain their unique sound while also introducing new elements, including the deliciously heavy gravemakers and gunslingers, the radio friendly feathers and the running free, to the perfect example of the bands skill, in the end complete series, which is a breathtaking end to an outstanding series. Don't take it from a fan, go try it. Even if you don't get the story, it is still some really great music worth listening to again and again.
The latest and greatest!!! Mar 19, 2008 No World for Tomorrow is the best album in my opinion.. they have evolved their music into a sound that is incomparable.. the entire album is flawless and the lyrics are guaranteed to blow ur mind... 100% must have... if ur a fan of course...
