Genre: progressively inclined alternative metal

Coheed and Cambria continue their journey from emo rock based hard rock to progressively inclined alternative metal on this album, which, like its predecessor is very much a heavy metal album in my book.

A lot of the tracks are all out metal tracks, and this album is heavier than any of the preceding releases. Tracks like "No World For Tomorrow", "The Running Free" (no, not a cover of Iron Maiden's "Running Free"), "Gravemakers & Gunslingers", "Justice in Murder", and "Justice in Murder", and also "The Hound" are straight metal tracks, although they do, of course, contain elements from emo rock, progressive rock and alternative rock. Most of the "The End Complete Tracks" (no, there's no relations between this and the Obituary song) are more in the alternative metal department, while "Feathers" reminds me of 1980s glam/pop metal musically.

As with the previous album, I think this is a fine metal album with a lot of alternative rock and progressive rock elements and catchy melody lines. I'd recommend it to fans of traditional heavy metal, alternative metal, progressive rock and metal, and hard rock as well.
