Friday Music 18-01-08
Well it's been a bit of a quiet week as far as music appreciation goes, there's been a lot of painting and stuff, but usually we have stories instead of music. I have however managed to work my way through the other three Coheed and Cambria albums, here are my impressions:
In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3
Very similar to The Second Stage Turbine Blade, more disjointed prog, addictive melodies and the story continues... this is my second favourite after the first album now.
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV - Volume I: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness
A bit different, has an air of It Bites about it, but without the catchy choruses. Less of the abstract guitar melodies weaving around each other and a lot more damped guitar/bass syncopating around the drums in funny time signatures. Not As Good, as this is the motif of the album and it gets a bit wearing.
Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow
There is still the element of the third album's tight syncopation here, but we also have a lot more classic rock/metal chugging and guitar solos! The intelligence of the first two albums is diluted somewhat, but this is a lot more accessible. Now all I need to do is try and work out what the hell the story is...
