Friday night I read my local paper and in the concert section was a 1 page article describing a band called Coheed and Cambria and prog-rock. It described that the band was playing here locally and what progressive rock music is and why Coheed and Cambria are exactly that. So now the band claims to be prog, their fans claim they are prog, many members of this site agree, they release concept albums, and fit the description given by this website of prog-rock, and news journalists claim they are prog. But still this site cannot add them to the page. progarchives.com, your ultimate prog resource but it includes bands that most don't regard as prog and doesn't include bands that are clearly prog. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

After months of internal debate about this band, I finally figured out
why simultaneously I love and hate them. They are a progressive
rock band. They write solid, entertaining songs. However, I
think they incorporate all of the lame, embarrassing, excessive parts
of prog (i.e. extremely high vocals, disgustingly long song/album
titles, and a general flair for the bombastic), and few of the real
progressive elements. Also, I can't really decide if they take
themselves seriously or not. By reading the comics and listening
to the albums alone, you might think they are actually serious about
their music, but watching their music videos and live shows, you might
think otherwise.

IMO "taking themselves seriously" is a very important thing ... I think that Cradle of Filth's music is progressive, but they're not taking music seriously enough. I think that C&C are genuine artists though ... intuitively, after listening to the samples. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

It has nothing to do with personal taste; actually we like the music. But it isn't prog. If there is any prog in Coheed and Cambria, it is there in homoeopathic doses. You can of course suggest a new category named "homoeo-prog", and they woiuld fit very well there. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I had read your review before. I think it is highly interesting what
mental images music creates within people; sadly for me the only mental
image "Terria" creates is of me on a long and winding road in the midst
of a heavy thunderstorm (the music on the album), and somewhere in the
distance there is a cottage where i will find shelter (the album's end). But you may look forward to something: Jean and I have decided that IF (there is a big question mark behind this "if" though) we ever make a 2nd album, it will be a prog-metal one, or at least how WE think prog-metal should be. The album will have the title "Bald Heavy Metal Angels", by the way. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I can understand one not considering Coheed & Cambria prog, the album of theirs I heard was borderline at best. However, their new album is supposed to be pure prog. If this is true, maybe it could be used to sway people into accepting them on the site. |

I thought that we recently introduced the prog related genre and added bands like Queen and Deep Purple ... there really shouldn't be any question about Coheed and Cambria. I don't even like them, but since they're on most other websites, there's no reason that they shouldn't be here as well. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

I'm not sure if the samples on their website were of the proggier songs, so I don't know how much of a judgement you can make from those. They're certainly not prog if you compare them to a band like Genesis. But they certainly are prog when compared with their contempories, in a similar way that Queensryche are prog when compared with their contempories. ------------- Be or be not.

It is definitely possible to be extremely serious about not being serious at all. Take the case of Zappa, or even Tenacious D. However, there's not enough humor in Co&Ca's songs to say that this is their goal. Sometimes it seems like they want to be a real rock band thatwrites real songs, and other times it seems like they want to be a silly pop band. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

Thousands of bands have written a science fiction concept that spans 4 (maybe 5?) albums?

That doesn't have anything to do with being prog. Progressive vs. Prog. Of course it's best if a band is totally innovative.

| I don't think that this band was given enough of a chance. I'm not even a fan of Co&Ca, but I've listened to their latest album in it's entirety. While I wouldn't necessarily consider them straight up "Prog Rock", especially when compared to The Mars Volta, as every reviewer in every publication I've read feels the need to do, but they are definately "Rock Prog", if you will, Rock with much Prog influence. By judging the band solely based on their singles, you're effectively discarding them as another emo/pop-rock act, which is entirely foolish. Listen to the newest album, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Volume 1 - From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness. In fact, if you don't want to listen to the entire album, I suggest at least giving the first 3 and definately final 2 tracks of the album a chance, as I think it will sway your opinion. All of the tracks Coheed has made videos for, released to radio, and made available as samples on their site are the poppiest, non-prog of their songs. If you listen to the two singles from their last album you'll swear there is no way this band can be prog, but actually spin the disc and I'm sure you'll change your tune. At least give them a proper listen before discarding them as something other than prog, I feel it makes the archive look very incomplete to not even try and give them a chance. |

The material on their website displays their more mainstream side. Coheed's material includes a large array of styles, which is best displayed on, but not limited to, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. Furthermore, no two Coheed songs sound the same. Their progressive material is surely worthy of being included on this website. Songs such as "The Crowing," "2113," and the entire "Willing Well" series. Even the poppy material far exceeds its contemporaries. Coheed takes basic, accessible material, and expands on it. I don't think any pop-punk/rock band out there could write that type of material on par with them. Even their simplest material contains much depth and emotion, not to mention that it is all revolving around a concept, which spans over multiple albums. Much like in movies, the styles used in the songs correllate to what's happening in the story at the time. Movies don't use the same music throughout its entirity, likewise, this story doesn't. For example, the catchy, uptempo songs "33" and "A Favor House Atlantic" both take place in what's supposed to be a chase scene. The music fits the part. Also, I have seen them numerous times live. They are great musicians, and they can pull of an extended improve jam quite well. I would reconsider them for addition to the site. I would elaborate further, but I am on a tight schedule. |

I currently have their latest album in my car, but I've only heard the
first 3 or 4 tracks so far, so I cannot comment, but I will give the
album two or three listens. The first track was interesting and
reasonably progressive I would say. My friend likes them and is now into Rush as well, so they certainly are not a bad thing for prog rock, they are helping the genre. -------------

I mentioned in another forum that I think C&C belong in the Prog realm. I think they are pushing limits by today's Modern Rock standards towards Prog Rock. I certainly hear enough elements that show they are very creative in this genre. If Radiohead can be considered Prog and C&C not, I fail to see the reasoning. Both bands produce Modern Rock that is outside the boundaries of this genre. Do these bands create a new genre of Progressive Modern Rock? -------------

About "taking themselves seriously" Claudio actually said Coheed and Cambria started off as kind of a joke after their first band "Shabutie" fell through. Which is probably why their first album Second Stage Turbine Blade doesn't sound very "proggy", but after that became so popular it seems they've changed their style to make it a lot more progressive with In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. I think they should be added to the archives, I've listened to bands on here that were a lot less progressive then they were. |

they are definitely prog. "A favor house atlantic" and "blood red

moatilata was right in that the story and mood of the songs go along
together. even if they arent listed as prog on this site, theyre definitely a great band that is unfortunately being bundled up with pop bands like falloutboy and howthorne hieghts while they should be over there with the mars volta. and system of a down should stop touring with mars volta. -------------

i was more of the opinion that thery should be under "prog-metal", though it definatly doesnt fit them to a Tee. At least from the songs i heard, (and very much enjoyed by the way). Maybe "prog-related" would be better. actually i believe that would be a very good sub genre for them. And i have to add... a friend of mine purchased "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" and i absolutly love a few of their songs. i think prog-archives should defiatly add them to the site. now i've said my piece, thanks... mikey out |

I Just purchased "Good apollo im burning star IV" and although i enjoyed the album, i have a changed opinion about the band. i was writing based on limmited exposure, so to speek, and it seem s that many of the other members were and are doing so as well. Welcome home i believe is the name of the song i first heard by the coheed bunch and since my background in music is metal... i loved it! i also heard in keeping secrets of silent earth III (the song) but was less interested in it along with the poppy/emo sounding "favor House Atlantic" which is NOT a good representation of the band as a whole for those of you who saw the video and went "YucK" as i did. that's it. with those three songs as background, i formed an opinion of the band that was very wrong and it seems that many of you here have done the same. take the time to get to know a band before you discredit them or form an extreme opinion. coheed and cambria is a much more mature band than i would have ever thought based just listening to their singles.(which are crappy IMHO) they definatly contain many elements of a couple different genres including prog and a indie/punk influence as well... but they are doing something that is completely different from almost every other band on the market today. they have their own unique sound, blend elements of diferent styles, are a constantly evolving entity, and continuously push the envelope musically. If this is not the definition of a prog band.. then i dont know what is. i dont mean to sound like a fan boy and if i do i am sorry but they clearly, at least from my point of view, merit inclusion on this site. I would have never discovered prog if i had blown off Dream Theater as a crappy metal wanna-be after i heard the single "Lie" which i disliked. please dont ignore C&C based on their singles or videos... you might end up regretting it as i did with dream theater. thanks for letting me spill my mind...

I have Good Apollo IV and have heard a lot now and I'm still not
enjoying it greatly. The three tracks I like and the final track
"The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut" is the best track on the album,
but the rest isn't my thing. Great musicians, great concept. I don't think they're prog either. They have prog moments at the beginning and end of songs, but that's about it. How is playing a Pink Floyd style of guitar progressive? I love the final track, sure, but it's nothing new. I'm also not keen on Claudio's singing. "The Suffering" is the most irritating track on the whole album and the pathetic "hey!" from Kathryn are bad and that whole song is emo (nothing wrong with emo, it's just not my thing). But this opinion is just after listening to this one album, I've not heard anything else. -------------

I would too agree with art rock...but i dont understand why everybody is compairing them to the mars volta But no doubt the 4 last tracks on the Good apollo album is prog ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Fjuffe/?chartstyle=sideRed - [IMG - http://imagegen.last.fm/sideRed/recenttracks/Fjuffe.gif - |

^ I've never seen anyone comparing them to TMV - it makes no sense, completely different genres. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

| I have their second album 'In Keeping With Secret Earth' (or whatever the hell it's called) and it is emo-rock to me with some prog, well some Rush-esque, tendencies to the fore. Not sure I'd call them a priority act on the site, and it's 'prog related' at best imo. |

Hey thanks a lot Trotsky. I'm new, so you will have to excuse my newbieness until I get the swing of things. I think they should be added to the list, but I am just starting to really delve into prog rock, so I may not have the best understanding of what prog, and what this site considers prog, but all I know is I really dig these guys. Their first album Second Stage Turbine Blade is definatly not prog, even though I still really like it. Whether they belong on the list or not, they are still 10 times more progressive than the trash mtv spews, when they actually decide to spew it. ------------- I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress . . . |

Magazines persist in calling them a prog rock act, but I persist in my doubts- concept albums do not a prog band make, else we'd have Hall and Oates, The Osmonds and David Cassidy here!! I think there's no sense in having them here whilst bands like Iron Maiden, Helloween and Rainbow are going to be vetoed as to these ears, I can relate far more to any of those bands' prog themes than C & C's, yet I wouldn't vote yes to any of those being here, therefore I wouldn't have done for C & C either... Still prog related at best, imo, if they are going to be added. |
