Co & Ca
This is a review of the Coheed and Cambria album "No World for Tomorrow". I looked at several reviews for this album, some praising it and others dissapointed, but chose this one because it reflected the major and most common things said by all. The author of the review gives his honest opinion about their latest work, mostly positive things about how the group has progressed and helped bring their now 4 part sci-fi rock opera to a close. Thesis: No World for Tomorrow is the conclusion of the story that began with Second Stage Turbine Blade, and it is a fitting conclusion to the saga indeed. This review/analysis might not mean much to people who aren't fans of the band or into the genre of music, but for those who are, it is nice to see what others feel about the direction taken and songwriting of the new album. This was written in a rather informal manner and with no real focus other than that of stating their opinion. That said it would be drastically different had it been written using the rhetorical things we are learning in class but would have also taken away from the loose almost conversational feel of the review.

I really like Coheed and Cambria. There are always bad review for thing but its great to see that this band is progressing. No one want to hear the same music over and over. The band needs to change it up.
I like this band too. They sound messy and a bit out of range once in awhile, but over all I liked the idea and analysis given.
I'm glad you found a good review for it. I've found that reviews that acknowledge and address both the good and the not so good aspects of something are always the best. You can't really trust someone who absolutely loves a particular album and just goes off on how amazing it is. That might be true for that person, but not for everyone. The same goes for the reviews that only talk about how flipping horrible and beastly bad it is. That's great, you didn't like it, good for you. So the mixed reviews seem to be the most trust worthy in my opinion.
