Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV | Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

C&C's albums are based on a graphic novel written by the vocalist/guitarist. This album takes a turn as the focus shifts from the main character of the previous 2 albums to the writer of the story who is slowly losing his mind.

Each song plays an important role. As you listen through the album the writer flip flops on his feelings frequently which makes for a bizarre rollercoaster ride of emotions.

Even if you don't pay attention to the lyrics the album has incredible instrumentation that takes inspiration from Rush, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Iron Maiden, and pretty much every major classic rock and metal group you can think of.

I can't recommend this album highly enough for everyone
