Product Description

CD Description

US emo-prog wizards deliver the first volume in the fourth and final instalment of their wildly ambitious rock space opera. Darker in tone, as Claudio Kilgannon continues his quest to avenge the death of his parents Coheed and Cambria, it strays closer to the epic bombast of 70s rock than ever before. This music is complex, intricate and challenging yet never betrays melody or accessibility.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coheed & Cambria surpass expectations with album No 3, 27 Sep 2005
Its been a some time since Coheed & Cambria's last album but the short haitus has proved worthwhile in every sense. Their latest effort is more polished than 'In Keeping Secrets....' in terms of both songwriting & production.

Whilst that album was both refreshing & a genuine surprise back on the musical landscape of 2003 - this album represents a significant & important leap forward for the band since their debut 'Turbine Blade....' appeared on the scene. These new songs show a band reaching out towards their musical & creative horizons.
'In Keeping...' is a good place to start for those not familiar with Coheed's individual sound, whilst also being a good place to pick up the (somewhat unusual)running storyline that runs through the band's catalogue. On hearing that album first earlier this year I was both surprised & encouraged to see that a major label had taken a chance on such a visionary & not necessarily commercial (in terms of the prevailing musical trend) band. Having listened to the album I quickly understood why - Coheed & Cambria are both unique & innovative whilst still being accessible. Their sound is reminiscent of both Led Zeppelin & Rush, brought up to date with somewhat of a hint of an 'emo' type sound (this reviewer hates to pigeonhole - but can think of no other way to describe their sound! - ed) - 'Prog Emo' anyone ?! But anyway this band are clearly about more than genre boundaries....

'Good Apollo...' pushes the envelop further. Following the obligatory intro. we are met with a brave choice - a gentle acoustic passage 'Always & Never' closely followed by the first single from the album 'Welcome Home' - a brilliant song that borrows from Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir' whilst developing their own sound. Claudio Sanchez' vocals shine through with Birnbaum/Bittner's fantastic production. The twin guitar attack of both Sanchez & Stever at the close of the track will have you reaching for that air guitar in no time. 'Ten Speed' maintains the pace whilst showcasing the growing songwriting talent of the band. The dual guitar playing talent of both Sanchez & Stever has been allowed to come to the fore on this album with great results. 'Crossing the Frame' & 'Once Upon...' cross over on to perhaps more familiar territory whilst 'Wake Up' again shows that this band can do both heavy & introspective equally well - reminiscent of Opeth's ability to cross from extreme riffage to beautiful acoustic soundscapes in the blink of an eye.

The album contines to delight throughout until we reach the closing excerpt 'The Willing Well' - representing the album's most unconventional & challenging set of songs. However, repeated listening will show a band setting the bar higher with a statement of intent for their next effort - which this reviewer hopes will not be too far into the future. Outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply fantastic, 14 Nov 2005
By Hedon (Eternal Night) - See all my reviews
coheed third album is their best. word
they've come along way from the punky emo of SSTB and evolved into an epic prog beast that takes the best parts of Rush, Thin Lizzy, Led Zep, Jethro Tull, Queen Iron Maiden and even hints of the Police with Coheeds own unnique song writing, Sci-fi themes and just general weirdness. this album pushs the boundaries ever further with some simply stunning guitar work, intricate melodies, complex song structures and of course Claudio's helium filled lyrics.
the four part Willing Well will blow u away

An epic modern take on 70s/80 rock music. out of this world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its amazing, 27 Sep 2005
Once again Coheed have surpassed expectation.As a big fan of Coheed I was also a bit wary of this album coming out thinking it would be the end of the story which I have come to love.This album has everything though catchy riffs amazing lyrics and once again the Coheed esque we have come to love since SSTB.It opens up slow with a musical number then the acoustic song Always and Never which then builds up to the melodic riffs of Welcome Home which are continued through the whole album up intill, Final Cut.I won't give too much away of the story all I can is that it will surpass your expactations just like the 2 previous albums.Thank God for Coheed, this album is surely amazing
