Coheed and Cambria - Vaxis - Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures (October 5, 2018) Album • Page 35

So Good Apollo 1 def has the best story.

 

Definitely the weirdest one. It’s always been obvious that Claudio is masking his real life experiences into the story, but it became really obvious for that one. Chondra broke up with him, but they were back together before the album was released. Juuuussstt long enough for him to write a hate letter to her, haha.

 

Listening again for the idk how many lost track times

 

there’s also Patrick, who has one of the most comically depressing minor character arcs of all time

 

this is a horrible summary thanks

 

Ive always found the story goofy and superfluous, and I’ve almost always found the music rad

 

the music can be pretty fucking goofy but that’s always been a huge part of the charm for me

 

Glad I could help

 

And yeah, if you say “it’s too cheesy” then you’re kind of missing the point.

 

Some good ol chorus Love here making me all sappy inside and moody and shit

 

Honestly surprised that It Walks Among Us wasn't a single. I feel like it will be one of them. Low key one of the best choruses on the record

 

@Micah511 was pretty on the ball with the brief synopsis. Theres a lot of little things that happen and subplots. The world of Amory has a strange Star Wars meets Mad Max meets (insert anime here, DBZ works) influence to it. There’s gritty death, brutal battles, bounty hunters, cobbled together weaponry like Jackhammers, all juxtaposed alongside magic that binds planets together, races akin to Tolkien species called the Mages, Prise, etc who fight alongside organic robots called IRO-bots which most of the main characters are, it’s all strange when you map it out but it works if you put the effort of understanding it in.

The main issue with the Amory Wars is, aside from what we can glean from albums and first few graphic novels, we really don’t know what happens at certain points. For the most part we don’t really know what’s going on in this album aside from basics.

The Coheed & Cambria wiki is a good place to start if you want to dig further

 

This is their best work since good apollo

 

So I listened to this front to back finally.


What a ride. I love every album by this band besides black rainbow, but this is definitely top tier. Had an absolute blast and felt all kinds of emotions during this thing. Soaring hooks and extremely proficient musicianship. Huge NWFT vibes the whole time, almost like they took that album and updated it for 2018.

 

Damn looks like I gotta start listening to Coheed again. It's been a solid 4 albums since I have. Don't h8 me.

 

But you can @ me

 

No better time than the present




I was like that too before this album

 

@oldjersey do it

 

I can’t get over the HUM worship in Toys. It’s so awesome.

 

yo this Running Free slander has gotta go

 

Old Flames is infectious, it’s everything I want in poppy Coheed

 

Preach

 

Didn’t realize that was the story of The Afterman. Now I love those albums even more. Fucking Tragic

 

Boy is All On Fire such a GA1 throwback
