The Second Stage Turbine Blade
I've been listening to 'The Second Stage Turbine Blade' by Coheed and Cambria the past couple of days. This album and the band and specifically the song "Everything Evil" brings up beautiful and painful memories. The first time I ever heard this band and that particular song was on a Hellfest DVD and I was definitely a fan of the song, but wasn't quite sure if the bands other material sounded like "Everything Evil". Needless to say I picked up this album and overall it was a good choice. Most of the cuts on this album have that same feel, sort of a technical/indie rock vibe kind of like if Rush were an indie rock band with more simplified drumming and less guitar solos. That's the beauty of it, the band has some great songs and beautiful melodies and certainly tremendous talent from the drummer to the vocalist/guitarist to the bassist... The painful part comes to play here: I watched that DVD and that song constantly before gigs/tours with my old band(Sciatica) and any time I watch that DVD or listen to this album it brings back those memories....tours and a failed music career. Fuckin' A!
