Apr 11, 2011Absolutely amazing. Claudio's vocals are just incredible, and Mic and Travis do great on bass and guitar. Taylor Hawkins does great as a fill-in for Chris Pennie. Songs mix radio rock like Feathers with hardcore like The Hound. A fine album, and the second best they've made in my opinion.

TH.Oct 28, 2007After 3 listens, you come to realise this is some of Coheeds' best work. Lots of different influences and generally harder and darker the the previous albums.

JackMOct 30, 2007As per all other Coheed albums, amazing. Great storyline of songs.

CurtisROct 30, 2007I think this is a great album, probably their best yet

JBApr 2, 2008A proper 7,5. Currently the definition of a modern rock opera! Not as good as In keeping secrets..., but way better than the first installment of Good Apollo. While in no respect my favourite band, (not even within the prog or indie genres) this is quality.

BobJ.Jun 7, 2008Everyone that is giving this a 0 is just a huge D-bag. Their favorite band is probably Matchbox 20 or Nickelback.

JoshC.Sep 8, 2008The culmination of a grandiose sci-fi story entwined with break-taking atmosphere and ripping guitar riffs.

ShaneB.Nov 27, 2007I dunno why people are s h i t t ing on this album. Honestly Ican't thinnk of one song thats not good. And I can think of plenty that area absolutely excellent- No World for Tomorrow, Mother Superior, Gravemakers and Gunslingers, The End Complete, On the Brink. Keep listening, maybe you'll realise the truth.

TomLanceNov 30, 2007This album has been very unfortunately gilted from the limelight it so richly deserves! Most reviews against it are merely written by people who don't like their style of music. Which is frankly stupid, if you have something preferential about their music, do not review them. (ie. spin)

EricOct 23, 2007This is their best album yet. Way better than the last album they put out and even tops SSTB and IKSOSE:3. It took me awhile to really get into the somewhat different feel of the album...but now it's simply amazing. I'd definatly recomend it to anyone.

PatrickOct 24, 2007Give it many listens and time. You'll discover that this is a superb album regardless of your previous Coheed experience.

RobertA.Oct 24, 2007Loving it. Want more, but every excellent album should leave you wanting more - that's a PLUS, not a negative.

NinoOct 25, 2007A super-solid album that exceeded my expectations. There's some very unexpected instrumentation here, with great references to previous songs for the astute listener No filler-ish sounding tracks. A great listen end to end!

CodyKickOct 26, 2007This album to me is a throwback to their old albums in several ways. I hear alot of IKS in many of the songs (the end of The Hound is pure IKS), and the layout of the album is similar to second stage, in that the album doesn't so much flow as that each song is different and very good on their own. Feathers is amazing, and MOther Superior is possibly their best song.

TyroneHOct 29, 2007This album really is good, yet, not for people who may not favour his vocals, but after 3 listens, the album really does captivate you and leaves you no other choice but to love it.
-
-
EricCOct 29, 2007A very solid effort and possibly their best to date. You can really tell how much attention they've given to these songs and the album as a whole. Combining pop and prog is always a difficult affair and they pull it off quite well.

JasonC.Oct 30, 2007Another beautiful, creative, and technically unbelievable entry into Coheed and Cambria's montage of art work. Did Claudio sell his soul to the devil to get his uncanny writing ability and guitar-riffing mastery?
-
-
SamH.Oct 11, 2008Absolutely unbelievable. This is by far the best CD that I own, and is my favorite of them so far. Exciting and intelligent guitar work and the beautiful, yet strange vocals combine to create an incredible album that I would recommend to ANYONE that has even a passing interest in quality music.

ZachPDec 21, 2008It definitely isn't as engaging as their last two albums, but it has it's moments. There's a lack of clarity that you can hear, and they've entered a commerciality that isn't respectful ("the running free"). Still, i admire coheed for their balls and talent at writing and portraying a story.
-
-
DaleK.Jun 17, 2008A bit shorter than the last one, but a bit more solid overall. So we know the "0s" are coming from real musical integrity when one includes "Creed" in a name. Sorry Creed fan, but this is way beyond the musical skill of a 6 yr old. Thanks but us musical integricists will keep taking Coheed over Creed all day long.

CalvinP.Jun 3, 2008Frankly i don't understand the people giving this album a 0 if you do not enjoy this music in the slightest i don't think i would listen to ANY music you recommend have fun with your hip hop garbage

JohnU.Oct 27, 2007Honestly, if you don't like the guy's voice, don't listen to it. don't go and give it a bad score when you haven't even listened to it, but just that you know you won't like it because you don't like their other "garbage." I do like coheed, and I do like this album, therefore, I give my score

ChrisOct 28, 2007@ Conrad: So just because you're so closed-minded in your musical tastes and refuse to give the vocals a chance, you have to give the album a zero? Are you five years old? Seriously, grow up. This album is musically diverse and the vocals are beyond amazing. This was an excellent finale to the story of Coheed and Cambria and I'll enjoy listening to this in the years to come.

killianr.Oct 29, 2007awesome, though some songs could have been better, but still definitely on par with IKSSE3

PWaldoJan 22, 2008Im no die hard C&C fan, i jumped on board for Eyes of Madness and even then, the album took a while to grow on me, but now i love it which oddly i still cant say for the first two albums. No World For Tomorrow is a brilliant fourth album from C&C, heavier, proggier (bear with me) and just downright super listenable. This baby wont be off my playlist for a damn long time.

JasonS.Mar 27, 2008Beautiful album from an intelligent and talented band (both in songwriting and in lyrical mastery). Once again, Coheed & Cambria prove that it is one of a kind.
-
-
Oct 5, 2018The first half of the album I really enjoyed, The second half not so much. It's still a solid album and definitely one of their better ones but after the first Burning Star album, There was a lot to live up to and they still delivered but not as high as the original.

Alternative PressCoheed's fourth album simply doesn't deliver on the suspense that's been loaded into it. [Nov 2007, p.155]

Coheed have found their sweet spot.

Entertainment WeeklyC&C infuse their expansive music with enough grit and melody that you don't give a hoot what, say, 'The Hound (Of Blood And Rank)' is about. [26 Oct 2007, p.67]
