![]() ![]() The Second Stage Turbine Blade is a reasonable start to the bands discography regardless of it narrative position, although far from the best of the catalogue. This is in fact chapter two, hence the confusing name. ![]() Although this is indeed the first release, the band pulled a kind of Star Wars move by not starting at the start. So right away I’ve gone and made a mistake by calling this the opening of the saga. So let’s begin with the opening chapter of the epic adventure. There’s so much more that isn’t like Rush and as the catalogue progresses in fact, it would be an absolute crime to wrongfully discount them and you’d be missing out on perhaps one of the finest bands of the last decade. To an extent they’re not without some merit, though it would be most unfair to dismiss the band due to this. With the combination of Claudio Sanchez’s high pitched vocal, 20 minutes of an album on only two songs and multi-song suites, it’s not difficult to see why so many people are quick to compare the band to Rush. And thirdly, I haven’t got a goddamn clue what’s going on past the second album. Secondly, it’s considerably better documented and debated on t’Internet than anything I could produce, namely on fansite Cobalt and Calcium’s forum. Firstly, it will take way too many pages to write that. There are three good reasons for trying to avoid getting entrenched in the storyline anyway. I’m going to try to avoid concentrating on the story too much although it’s largely unavoidable. Here we take a much closer look at all of the Coheed albums from a musical standpoint. Hopefully you read my “ 5 Concept Albums That Don’t Suck” piece, yes? If so, you’ll have seen that I touched on Coheed and Cambria and their forays into the world of science fiction with “The Amory Wars” a tale of action, love and revenge that spans all of the albums and singer/songwriter Claudio Sanchez’s side project The Prize Fighter Inferno.
