I haven't listened to any other Coheed and Cambria, so this is not about how they measure up to their previous work, this is just about this album. I think it's good from beginning to end. The lyrics have lost the cheese in favor of poetic suave and the music is anything but horrible. It's definitely more creative than most emo bands give these days.

For the Feathers video, I give it a 5 out of 5 for lyrical integrity, the video, though entertaining, and funny at the same time, with the slaughtering of Claudio, Travis, and Micheal I belive it was Michael...And having been eaten by the extremely beautiful lady, and her loving, yet blind to what she had to do to produce the meat, so to speak, family. The video, I give a 2 out of 5

For The Running Free video, I give it a 5 of 5 for the lyirical integrity again, and the video which made complete sense, and was extremely entertaining, but Claudios voice was a tad bit hard to understand at certain points. either way at One Minute, Two Seconds, you see the random cloaked figure appear, openning a door, I give the video a 5 out of 5 for its ingeniusness, and seeing Claudios hair wet was just a plus.

Feathers brought you down to FOUR(4) stars, And if claudio reads this...Dude you looked HILARIOUS in the Packagemans Outfit, you should wear it for a concert some time...:P
