Coheed & Cambria - No World for Tomorrow: A+

Music: 9 Vocals: 5 Lyrics: 5 Production: 5
Total: 29 - A+

Let's put it this way. If you like C&C then this is a masterpiece. It has such an epic feel to it. The songs are grandiose and sweeping. And it's all recorded perfectly. Huge crunching guitars. Thunderous drums. And a full bottom end. The vocals fly over the music.

The songs range from a perfectly executed 90s pop song (Feathers) to 80s metal (Justice in Murder) to a great Iron Maiden-esque (Gravemakers & Gunslingers). Coupled with acoustic and classical guitars for songs that set the story.

If you don't get C&C, then you'll be lost and never understand. But for those who see C&C for what they truly are, this album will be cemented with you forever.
