Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness is Coheed and Cambria's 3rd album. The album was published in 2005. It remains, in my opinion and in many others' opinions, their best and most notable album.
A graphic novel was published in parallel to the album by Claudio Sanchez. The novel now has very few copies left, and is being remade and reissued. The original sells for $199 on Amazon, though met with some very drastic criticism. His novels are something I look forward to trying in the future.
Coheed and Cambria have been mainly classified as both Progressive Rock and Emo, two genres which in most cases aren't grouped together. They're part of the New Prog scene, also involving bands such as System of a Down, Dillinger Escape Plan, Lightning Bolt, and the Mars Volta.
Note: I have not yet actually listened to Dillinger Escape Plan or Lightning Bolt yet, nor do I know anything about the bands. I do not understand what System of a Down has to do with any form of prog, but I don't see any point in questioning the Wikipedia.
Anyways, tell me what you think! I've been listening to this album a lot lately!
