Coheed and Cambria

I've been enthralled with this title from the first Second Stage Turbine Blade book. The art wasn't as strong as it is now, but the storyline has always had that punch. I love it. And I'm excited to see where the story goes next.

    Pretentious band makes pretentious comic to go along with pretentious music.

    I've not read the comic, but I can't stand the albums so I'm not inclined to give them a go.

    Eh. The band's ok. I must've taken one look at the comic and dropped it 'cause I didn't even remember it.

    I've listened to their third album, and I can't figure out for the life of me what the story they're supposedly telling is.

    I like their music, and the vocalist is nothing if not unique, but effective storytelling it isn't.

    I'm a massive Coheed & Cambria fan. The albums are the musical form of the plot to thier comics.



    Unfortunatly i have no fucking idea of what the story is. They don't tell it in order.

    It sounds to me like they took the idea of a concept album and raped it into the ground.

    If you want a good concept album listen to The Who's Tommy, Pink Floyd's The Wall, or Dream Theater's Scenes From a Memory.

    Pink Floyd's The Wall.

    Except, y'know, that's a pretty shitty album stuffed with filler which only, in fact, has three or four good songs on it. It just so happens they're unbelievably good songs, but consistant quality between tracks is the mark of a good concept album and The Wall doesn't cut it. Operation: Mindcrime by Queensryche or Dimension Hatross by Voivod are much better, not to mention Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden. I love Pink Floyd, and think Wish You Were Here is outstanding (I even dropped £50 on a ticket to see Roger Waters) but The Wall is not a good album.

    It is, however, written about the school I went to. Does that get me anywhere?

    (Off topic, I know, but my musician knee-jerk reaction was triggered)

    I've read them, and I love the music...

    The story is a bit hard to follow though, I agree, but I like it that way. It's left open to more interpretation. The music was meant to accompany the comics, not the other way around, so it's not like they just decided to illustrate their albums one day or something.

    It's hard understandably for alot of people to like Coheed and Cambria. But the story line when you really get down to it is astounding. Check out www.cobaltandcalcium.com for the story. It really is pretty quite amazing.

    The new album which is the end of the story as it stands now is set to release next spring sometime I do believe.

    As much as I love Coheed and Cambria, their third album destroyed the storyline with unbelievable wankery - singing about the author getting angry at his characters and stepping into the story? BOOOOO.

    The Wall, in my own opinion, is the greatest concept album ever written.
