It was a life changing experience listening to this album, and I am not exaggerating. I instantly fell in love with Claudio's talents with both his voice and his guitar. I've come to learn that many either love or hate his voice; but I am a huge fan. I bought this CD on a whim, and surprisingly enough it completely changed the genre of music I now listen to. It wasn't until later I found out what the lyrics meant. The songs aren't necessarily personal, they all tie in to a comic series created by Claudio. I am not a sci-fi fan in the least, but I instantly fell in love with the comics as well. This CD, for me, brings back so many amazing memories of being 18 and driving in my car, listening to the album over and over, consumed in their lyrics. I have had the EXTREME pleasure of seeing Coheed twice, which I would also recommend. They deliver an amazing show.

This just in: Claudio Sanchez is the new Santana.

Here are my thoughts on all the songs:

Keeping the blade: A classy touch Leads nicely into always and never

Always & Never:Cute vocals by Janris Sanchez the ladies love it. Very acoustic, this it the lowest I have heard Claudio sing. The last line shatters the mood and leads into the more violent

Welcome Home:There's a video for this one too. the rythm is amazing and Claudio is playing gut busting Santana style solos on a double neck gibson and harmonizing like no other

Ten speed of god's blood and burial:

If you liked 3 evils you will love this

Crossing the frame:

This one isn't really wowing, but apparently has buttloads of signifigance in the story.

Appolo 1:

pure genus it's like faint of hearts

Once upon your dead body:

Blood red summer all over again love it!

Wake up:

filler but hey they can afford it

The suffering:

There's a video

The song we have all been waitig for. This is favor house on frickin' steroids! features uncle birmy's dirty foot choir (blood red summer). the only song mixed by another dude. "you may be invited but you're not coming in" after you hear those vocals you will never have to listen to music again. It's over. There's nothing better never can be.

The Lying Lies & Dirty Secrets Of Miss Erica Court:

Long name, long lines. Soothing in every aspect

Mother May I:

I laughed at this one, it's kinda funny

Fuel for the feeding end:

"Feed little maggot..." you can't help but mosh to that. Then there's a little spanish in the background that tickles the ears pleasantly.

I- Fuel For The Feeding End

The first and last few lines are among the best in the album

III - Apollo II: The Telling Truth

Has contents from blood red summer and apollo I "Jesse bad boy" is cute and joyously melodic.

IV - The Final Cut

violence

solos that make santana die and then spin in his grave

an amazing hidden track with some nice percussion. There's a ringtone

Buy this and destroy all other music

This is it

Probably one of the best CD's I have heard in the past five years. The music is incredible and the words are well written. They have a hint of Rush and a hint of Trans-Siberian Orchestra. One of my favorites off the CD is "Crossing the Frame". This one should not be missed and you won't be sorry for buying it.

I gave the CD 5 stars because it's a great CD, musically Coheed and Cambria's best, but I have to warn anyone who wants the CD edited that, sadly you won't get it. I thought the whole point to an edited CD was to get rid of the profanity. I can tell you that's not what you'll get. I'll show you what I mean.

This is a direct quote taken from the Willing Well IV: The Final Cut: "Marked in your words I'm the joke, I'm the bastard"

Correct lyrics yes, what do you notice though? The word bastard is still left in the song and not edited out, let's look a little deeper at a quote from the same song.

"You're a selfish little _____ A selfish little _______ If I had my way I'd _______ your face in the ______."

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Why? Why leave in the profanity and cut out words that don't need censoring? Very little of the bad language is edited from this CD, but an abundance of words like: Die, Cut, Crush, Door, Kill, whore, have been removed so I don't reccomend buying the edited version. If you want this edited, you'll have to open the songs up on Audacity and do it yourself.

This is an atrocious stain on modern music. The singer is talentless, anyone with operative ears can tell that. He sounds like a girl yet isn't. Just like New Found Glory and Rush, a bad singer ruins the band. In this case, however, everything that could go wrong has; a different singer would not fix anything. The guitar progressions are entirely lame. Don't waste your time on this piece of trash, or the unedited version for that matter. Terrible, terrible band.
