BillboardWhile the overlong album sometimes threatens to bury C&C with its own excess, the craftsmanship suggests the band is more than capable of breaking into the mainstream. [24 Sep 2005]
-
Blender[A] dense, inventive disc. [Oct 2005, p.134]
-
C&C's music factory comes across as a unique, modern perspective of both rock's past and present.
-
Entertainment WeeklyBleak and despairing... gloomy and numbing. [23 Sep 2005, p.86]
-
Next time, Coheed could do with less prog and more rock.
-
Conceptual plots aside, this is an album that finally lives up to the heavy metal promise and unapologetically delivers the goods with a full head of steam.
-
Alternative PressFinally, Coheed have made an album worthy of repeat listens, rather than a monster you skim through to hit the interesting parts. [Nov 2005, p.218]
-
Q MagazineInsane, but in a good way. [Nov 2005, p.123]
-
UncutStupendously silly but... indisputably proficient. [Nov 2005, p.103]
-
Decent and decadent, Good Apollo is still ultimately the least of the band’s 3 full lengths. It continues the band’s tradition for experimentation, with melodies breaking through the chaos but it is less successful and equally disappointing with no new tricks.
