Being the final chapter of the “Amory Wars”, a high concept story being told throughout all of Coheed & Cambria’s announced albums, you would expect Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV: Volume Two- No World For Tomorrow to be a suitably epic and fitting conclusion to a story that has recently built itself upon its grand scope. Yet, even dating back to Second Stage Turbine Blade, Coheed have always been a band obsessed with pop songs amidst all the ‘prog’ craziness. Their previous effort, From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, decided to essentially separate these two halves of the band, making the first two ‘real’ and last four songs crazy epics, while the middle of the album was full of poppy rock numbers.

There's enough genuine melody here to attract newcomers, but tuning in to Coheed's sci-narrative during its final installment (Tomorrow is the finale of a multi-chaptered story) is similar to watching Return of the Jedi without seeing any of the preceding Star Wars flicks -- there's still fun to be had, but one can't help but feel a tad uninformed. Accordingly, the album is simple ear candy for those who haven't studied the band's previous releases, and sweet resolution for those who can spot the references to older songs (specifically "Blood Red Summer") and former riffs ("The Crowing"). ...full text |
Coheed And Cambria lyrics

Being the final chapter of the “Amory Wars”, a high concept story being told throughout all of Coheed & Cambria’s announced albums, you would expect Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV: Volume Two- No World For Tomorrow to be a suitably epic and fitting conclusion to a story that has recently built itself upon its grand scope. Yet, even dating back to Second Stage Turbine Blade, Coheed have always been a band obsessed with pop songs amidst all the ‘prog’ craziness. Their previous effort, From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, decided to essentially separate these two halves of the band, making the first two ‘real’ and last four songs crazy epics, while the middle of the album was full of poppy rock numbers. In No World For Tomorrow, Coheed finally manage to combine the two, this time with more guitar wanking and weird vocal stylings and production than ever.
