Coheed And Cambria is a band I have always been extremely interested in. I've heard some of their material and avidly love a few of their songs. So I'm really excited to dive deep into their material
Now, I debated heavily whether or not to listen to the albums in a random order, or do them chronologically as they came out. I usually prefer random order, but I know there is a continuous story to all of this.
At the end of the day, I'm about music first. And I know with most bands the "peak" period usually spans a few consecutive albums. I want to experience their best material all across the marathon, so the order will be shuffled. I will follow the story of the comics it's based on on my own and comment on it as I see it as well.
The order was picked by my partner, who took a look at the covers and had... some things to say about them. Brace yourselves.
