 (18 Customer Reviews)
Ambition has never been a problem for Coheed & Cambria, but with GOOD APOLLO, I'M BURNING STAR IV..., the upstate New York progressive-metal quartet has succeeded in topping its already-adventurous previous outings. While extending its sonic reach, however, Coheed & Cambria has also hit new heights of accessibility, often sounding like a kinder, gentler Mars Volta, with soaringly melodic moments peeking through billowing, dense clouds of driving guitars and breakneck rhythms.
The group eases into GOOD APOLLO with a moody orchestral opening ("Keeping the Blade") and a deceptively benevolent acoustic track ("Always & Never"), before launching into the blisteringly heavy "Welcome Home." As always, frontman Claudio Sanchez carries the dynamic songs, belting out strangely narrative lyrics in his high, clear voice. Although Coheed & Cambria has been loosely categorized as an "emo" band, here the ensemble fully outgrows that tag, joining an elite company of inventive metal acts (like the aforementioned Mars Volta) that are determined to challenge and fascinate listeners.
Coheed and Cambria: Travis Stever (vocals, guitar, lap steel guitar); Claudio Sanchez (vocals, guitar); Joshua Eppard (vocals, keyboards, drums); Michael Todd (vocals, bass guitar).
Additional personnel: Janiris Sanchez (spoken vocals); Danny Louis (keyboards); Daniel Sadownick (percussion); Sarah Kathryn Jacobs (background vocals).Rolling Stone (No. 985, p.78) - 3 out of 5 stars - "Coheed and Cambria's devotion to prog-rock complexity and Dungeons and Dragons fantasia is so over-the-top it's damn near awe-inspiring...."
CMJ (No. 903, p.8) - "Stuffed with atmospheric synths, string swells and acoustic ballads...Coheed's unapologetic love of prg-rock excess and technical prowess should please the band's oft-obsessive fanbase."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.109) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Sanchez's grand vision is realised via a blend of prog rock, old-school heavy metal and modern emo..."

Even before I got a chance to buy this album, I knew already that I was going to love this. From what the reviews were saying and what Coheed had to say about this new album, it was already lining up to overtake its predecesor. I love the schematics of this album, along with the change in tone from IKSSE:3. For anyone that is even the least bit of a fan of Coheed all the way to the most hardcore, I do recomend this album for everyone

a masterpiece
this is an album that will stand the test of time most definitly. these guys, espcially claudio sanches and whoever the drummer is, are extremely talented and the songs are written so amazingly. finally comes one of the few bands who actually has talent, unlike most of the bands out there who just got lucky. im only disappointed now because of their loss of half the lineup.=[

Having Al Green on their artist roster was at once a blessing and a curse for Hi Records -- while Green was arguably the finest and most distinctive R&B vocalist of the 1970s, and a major hitmaker to boot, his work was both popular and unique enough that it tended to blunt recognition for the label's other ...
