Album Reviews
On their second album, Coheed and Cambria have achieved a new genre: arena emo. Frontman Claudio Sanchez sounds like he's singing through tense lips and clenched teeth. Meanwhile, the band cycles through an array of outsize influences -- heavy-metal guitar screeches on "The Camper Velourium I: Faint of Heart"; mild proggery on the title track -- that convey turmoil and upheaval. There's nothing calm about C&C; even when it seems they're going to forswear their heaviness for blithe pop punk, as on "Three Evils (Embodied in Love and Shadow)," they stop short of fully unloading. By song's end, Sanchez is breathlessly declaiming, "Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops," over and over again, pulling darkness from light.
