Year in Rock 2012 Nominee: Coheed & Cambria
COHEED
AND CAMBRIA
Key
Entity Extraction I: Domino The Destitute
From:
The Afterman: Ascension
Released:
October 9
When it
comes to concept albums, it's hard to come close to Coheed And
Cambria. After all, they didn't stop at just one album; Their Armory
Wars Saga, which began on their very first album and supposedly ended
with 2010's Year Of The Black Rainbow, continued in the form
of side-story Afterman this year. Of course, just another
album wouldn't do, so instead we got the first half of the story with
the second half to follow in February. The good news for fans of the
band is that they've somewhat reached back to their prog roots on
this album; look no further than the eight-minute juggernaut Domino
The Destitute for proof. The rest of the album doesn't exactly
compare to that level of greatness, but it's pretty solid all the way
through, which has me excited to see how this tale ends. It sucks we
have to wait for it but, as has been the case since the band's
inception, patience is not optional.
