Is it possible to pierce the story for their concepts by only

Listen to Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness about 20 times in a row. then listen to all of their albums in order of release. Then finish it off with Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness followed by Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow for good measure.

The story is such a convoluted mess that I'm unconvinced Claudio himself knows what the fuck is going on. The music is pretty good though.

What's it about?

I listened to three or so songs and completely loved it. I was expecting something different from what I got, but I'm still a lyric freak. Is the comic books a good option to getting shit right?

Some sci-fi stuff I believe. From what I heard, it's about a star system made of 70 so planets connected in a triangular shape by star beams. The name of the band is the name of the main characters.

I think they made a comic series to go along with it that probably is easier to decipher than just the lyrics

I think the comics are supposed to be decent. I feel like I read something about a novel at some point but I'm not sure it ever came to pass.

The first two albums are coherent enough to follow, after that it starts getting a bit convoluted

It's literally the most juvenile story you can imagine. 90% of it is ineptly ripped off from Star Wars (and star wars fucking sucks to begin with).

GA: 1 is by far their best album. Personal favorite is SSTB bc of the post-hardcore feel & nostalgia. The Willing Wells are the fucking insane.

But that's crackers

The amory wars are great comics. Wait until they re-release GA: 1 in the style of the original comics. It's coming real soon. The first GA graphic novel blew.

This is a seriously underrated comment by someone who knows their discog really well. Listen to this OP.

I actually did read it, but didn't quite understood why Good Apollo 1 should be heard so much. That means that if I don't like this album, I won't like anything else? I'm asking this since all the songs I heard where from albums that came before this one.

I was a hardcore fan until No World For Tomorrow came out. I've read each iteration of the comics (but not the black rainbow book). I used to theorize about the story on their message boards.

I'm very familiar with the story. Believe me when I say, it's utter shit. It doesn't make sense because he made it up as he went along. Claudio just sucks at writing. You can trace nearly every single thing about story pre-Good Apollo back to Star Wars. Even the guy from My Chemical Romance is a much more skilled comics writer than Claudio.

I am a diehard Coheed fan. Hate everything after No World. I hated GA:1 when it came out. Definitely focus on the willing wells, maybe mother may i, and once upon your dead body. The magic lies in how fucking hard some of those parts are to play and the transitions between movements of the song.

If you still can't dig it, check out SSTB. Fav tracks are everything evil and delirium trigger.

Seriously the drums are crazy. Eppard on heroin was godlike. He only used one bass pedal. Remember that.
