  "It took me a while to come around to Coheed in general. I think its partially because I read "Oh, the albums are all rock operas, that means I need to listen to every album in order and read the comic books at the same time so I can understand and follow the story." But I never made it this far because the first album is very raw and little too meandering for it to really click. It wasn't until I said "Ok, fuck the story" and just listened to the greatest hits that I started to really enjoy it (and, ironically, I remember exactly when and where I was when it did! I was walking up 31st Street in Astoria to Derek's apartment, and Ten Speed came on right as I was crossing under the subway in front of Mela Pizzeria).

  This is the first album where things started to fall into place, at least musically. I still don't love the story. But the songs feel very distinct and memorable, the leitmotifs are easier to track, and the whole affair just feels more put together. I especially like how Apollo I feels polished and composed, then Apollo II (aka Willing Well III) feels more slipshod and frantic...very In the Flesh? vs In the Flesh." - Alex

  Concept album of a space saga leaking out into the writers world where a demonic bicycle confronts him. Not to mention the Willing Well I-IV are the greatest prog songs ever
