A pause to a story that I still don’t really understand
It’s a pause because it’s not over its’ my understanding this is part 2 of a 5 part arc.
I suppose I will post my thoughts about the Armory Wars overall now. It’s too daunting to tackle in a week while recovering from surgery and making laps around the sun. I also read 2 manga adaptations of HP Lovecraft books in this same period of time.
The story is complex. The best way I found to understand the story beyond reading all the media and studying the lyrics.
Now as for the band the whole reason that I started listening to Coheed and Cambria was because I am going to see them play in 10 days, they are touring with Primus and I am going with my girlfriend and some of my friends. I really like Primus but had never listened to Coheed and Cambria. My memory of them when the first few albums were coming out was they were a band my emo friends listened to. I am glad that I decided to listen to them now.
The fun part of this journey was listening to the band and, I suppose, Sanchez grow and develop. The raw passion that was present at the beginning and listening to the band focus their direction and hone their talent while their style became more and more refined to the point where I don’t think you can argue the current arc isn’t progressive rock.
