Look, kid, you have to listen to the WHOLE ALBUM

yeah, Tusk blew. I was about to say that even the song blew w/o the USC band (the only good thing USC has ever contributed to the world (I suppose other than Regiie Bush)) until they came on stage. Mick ruled.

While good, cohesive albums are few and far between, there have been a few out in recent years. Greed Day's "American Idiot", Arcade Fire's "Funderal", The Eels' "Electro-shock Blues", The Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots", Troubled Hubble's "Penturbia" and the last few from The Mountain Goats all have themes and the sum of the parts is greater than the whole.

But anyway, kids these days.

coheed and cambria have been putting out pretty solid albums. of course, all of their albums tell this crazy sci-fi story that the frontman Claudio wrote. but its definitely something worth checking out if you are into progressive rock. just hold back the thoughts of calling them "emo" or "rush wannabes" long enough to give the story and the guitars a chance.
