Welcome back to Coheed & Cambria month here at WatchPlayRead. We’re moving on to the next album on the list for this week, the Volume Two to last week’s Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV which is subtitled No World For Tomorrow.
I have to admit, I’m really torn when it comes to this album. It was the first Coheed & Cambria album that I had to actually wait to pick up…considering I became a fan of the music right after Good Apollo Volume 1. It’s not my favorite of the 5 that the group has put out, but is definitely up there in the ranking thanks to the songs it contains like today’s “The Hound (of Blood and Rank)”.
To me this song is one of the lead up songs to the ultimate battle between Claudio who is now The Crowing, and the Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan. This track is specifically tied toward the battle between Sizer (an IRO-Bot that Claudo saved 2 albums ago) and the General of the Red Army, Mayo Deftinwolf.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
