now, i could trash the vocals, which it seems, is a common complaint. but i wont, because i can tollerate them. i would even go so far as to say they fit with some of the songs.coheed and cambria's main problem lies in an obvious identity crisis. are they incredibly talented muscicians in an emo band ala joan of arc, or someone equally as complex like the owls? on that arm they could even be in a prog-rock band. or are they in a pop punk band? what these guys have failed to realize is that complex moving compositions do not have room for pop choruses. it disrupts the flow and often ruins entire songs. i find myself listening to the intro to time consumer only to turn it off once it hits the chorus.it's unfortunate that a talented bunch have for some reason decided to absolutely ruin a would be incredible album with cheesy new found glory-esque choruses in order to appeal to a broader range of people.
