If you are a fan of Rush, The Mars Volta, or Thrice, and concept albums, you will like Coheed and Cambria.
but for different reasons...
It's my favorite! One thing I've got to say about Coheed and Cambria is that I'm always into buying their stuff but lyrically I can't relate because I hate these concept ideas that are so complex and indulgent that it would take a whole college course to dissect their true meaning!
