If you stinky faces stop comparing this to their old stuff, this doesn't lack anything. It really
makes me kind of mad. Bands are allowed to change and redefine themselves. Why do you want another
album similar to their first three? They were amazing and there's nothing to add. This might be their
best album if you give it a fucking chance.

It lacks consistency, flow, subtlety...so yeah if you don't compare it to their old stuff it doesn't lack those things. Honestly this sounds more like a movie soundtrack than anything. There's no subtlety anymore, it's all being spoonfed to you as a listener, and I mean shit, they're including a like 70 something page book detailing the story from song to song. You don't even have to spend any time with the music to figure it all out anymore.

What I'm saying is the lyrics are so blunt and elementary that the story is practically beating you over the head, and if that wasn't enough they wrote up an explanation in case you're just that lazy.

"There's no subtlety anymore"


We're talking about Coheed here. When have they EVER been subtle with their lyrics, and how is this
any different from their earlier albums in that regard?

If you can honestly listen to this album and Second Stage or In Keeping Secrets back to back and tell me that the lyrics here aren't borderline cave-man-ish by comparison then I don't know dude.

My point is that they've never written particularly good lyrics.

P.S. This isn't my official rating, this is how orgasmic I think the album will be in compact with the next installment of The Amory Wars.

Everyone's main gripe with this is that it lacks flow between the songs, but in the context of the concept and how they are representing it musically it makes perfect sense.

^^ lern2music dude. Rush is a slight influence on them but it's barely noticeable. If anything they owe a lot more to Zep, Floyd and Iron Maiden

^You should listen to From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness, probably my favourite album of all time.

In Keeping Secrets and Second Stage are better imo, but yeah get Fear too. Coheed lyrics have always been good because they're weird and ambiguous, haven't heard this yet so I can't comment, but I don't think that making their lyrics face-value will do this any favours

Coheed's lyrics have never been great idk why people are complaining. It's all tied to the Amory Wars narrative, which is only interesting if you bothered to care about it in the first place (I didn't).

Overall it's better than YOTBR and NWFT but it's still not touching the first three.

Only through track 5. This is my worst fear (for this album) realized. That Sentry The Defiant video Claudio made was such a fucking cock-tease.

This is laughably bad. Are you guys serious with 4.5's and 5's? I am legitimately confused right now.
