Editorial Reviews

Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind welcomes us back to “The Amory Wars” as the 2nd installment of the new five-part “Vaxis” arc about a couple on the run from tyrannical forces and their mysterious new addition. Named one of REVOLVER’s “Most Anticipated Albums of 2022,” Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind includes the recently released singles “Rise, Naianasha (Cut The Cord)” and “Shoulders,” the latter of which vaulted into the Top 10 at Active Rock Radio, marking the group’s career highest radio chart position to date. “(It) masterfully pairs heavy metal-infused riffs with sweeping, melodic vocals in a way that only Coheed can,” declared MTV who placed “Shoulders” in their 2021 Favorites round-up. “Coheed and Cambria are back, and they’re heavy as ever,” asserted Billboard, with Guitar World attesting “Coheed and Cambria have come out swinging.” Brooklyn Vegan observed, “It finds the band embracing their love of classic heavy metal riffage, before exploding into the kind of soaring chorus that Coheed have been churning out since day one… they sound pretty damn inspired.”

Coheed crushed it on this album as usual. Definitely different than previous albums but that's what makes it special. Transparent electric blue is a sweet touch too! Buy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't get Coheed and Cambria that's no excuse and it's not your fault
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2022

If you are Coheed and Cambria fan you already have this and you know this is a good one. If you've gotten a Coheed and Cambria album in the past, add this one to your buy list. I can tell you after I listened to this, I was moved to write this review. This is the album I was hoping the artists on my current 'buy list' would do in the studio during the pandemic. And now the tracks:

1) The Embers of Fire (4): Yes, it's a throwaway but the melody comes from a favorite track from their last album 'Old Flames'
2) Beautiful Losers (4): Sanchez is immediately into his stride, this is nicely paired with the next track
3) Comatose (4): And again a high 3, we find Sanchez continuing in his stride - harmonized vocals and screechs. He's using his song writing toolbox to great affect. Not the 'same old stuff' but what we want
4) Shoulders (3): Classic first single, its not great but the acoustic guitar pulls me in and classic toolset. It's a good song but like many first singles of great albums, they serve as announcement of the pending album
5) A Disappearing Act (4): Has Sanchez gone tech? nah - they bought a sync and this is one of the track he sharpens it into one his newer toolsets to great effect
6) Love Murder One (3): A lower 3, not the strongest track but like much of Coheed and Cambria we are pulled back in with the chorus and Sanchez great lyrics
7) Blood (2): But a high 2, this track is more important for it's lyrical content to the overall concepts Sanchez is weaving, it is not a throwaway, it just pales by comparison
8) The Liars Club (4): This is the better single we were waiting for, it pushes the album concept forward and just a great classic Coheen and Cambria song, love the double with the last 'lie' in the chorus
9) Bad Man (2): Again a 'high' 2 but this is here for its lyric/concept movement, it is the experimental side of the artist, as a fan I can accept the swing and the miss, better is coming...
10) Our Love (4): This timing, placement, 'leave-them-wanting-more', a ballad, at two and a half minutes its too short but that's all we get
11) Ladders of Supremacy (4): Maybe a low 4 but this is classic Coheed and Cambria, it is more content/concept, almost a story within the story, maybe I'm too suspectable to acoustic guitar, but this is why we listen to Coheed and Cambria
12) Rise, Naianaha (Cut the Cord) (4): Again a low 4 but for the same reason, this is we bought this album when it came out, this is yarn spinning, minstreling, it is Sanchez where we want him to be with our knives and forks in hand (and headphones on ears)
13) Window of the Waking Mind (4): To diss this one would be like saying Pink Floyd's 'The Trial' is a stupid song, if you've gotten that far and thought that then why are you sitting at the table? I think I'll put these last 3 tracks together into a single play on my Spotify local files

Thank you Sanchez and Coheed and Cambria, my faith in music is restored. This is why I have a shuffle list, spend down time listening and focusing on music and have my 'buy list' artists. Mission accomplished.

It's very rare to find an album that doesn't have any bad tracks. This album from start to finish is an absolute banger. I might be a little biased since I'm a Coheed and Cambria fan but if you're looking at this album chances are you are too. The CD cover art looks great also.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Coheed, but a little more eurobeat
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
I've been a fan of Coheed since 2005, right before Good Apollo. Hard for them to really go wrong in my opinion. This isn't my absolute favorite album of theirs, but it gets regular play and I like it a lot. In terms of play, this is currently getting about equal traction with In Keeping Secrets.

I prefer Vaxis I to this one, but they're very different sounds. I felt like Vaxis I was a dark and driving album while this one tends more toward electronic/eurobeat style music, oddly enough. Which is not a bad thing! I loved The Prize Fighter Inferno, so Claudio's electronic stuff isn't a turn off. But it is an outlier for the band's mainline stuff in my opinion.

Still, really good, great lyrics, and at least a handful of total bangers. 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Start to Finish Experience
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2022

If you like Coheed and have been following them for the last 20 years, you'll appreciate this album.
They have it all. The Claudio Riffs and Vocals, the Eppard Drums, the pop hooks in the right places, the drama and theatricality that few bands are capable of while still being wild, musical monsters. The pitch, chord and rhythm changes and transitions keep you on your toes.
It may be too mainstream/accessible for those who are really in to the real weird Coheed, but I'd take this over that, personally.

I've listened to this album 3 times straight through today. Every song holds my attention. Very few modern albums are as cohesively put together as this one. This isn't just 3 singles with filler in between, this is a very complete composition.

I bought the CD and recommend everyone listen to it in a Lossless format on as nice DAP/Player and headphones as you can afford.

Huge step up from their last album. This is a band that is not afraid to innovate. No running in place for coheed and cambria. Eclectic and progressive, had me singing along in a few places even though I didn't know the words yet! Very well done record, great lyrics, great story, great art and a refreshed, energetic band delivering a fantastic album! Play, rock out, repeat.

It diverges from thier previous albums. Has a sound that edges a bit closer to 'Prize Fighter', with less progressive rock, and a bit more catchy pop influence. However, the more I listen to it, the more I appreciate it.

Sometimes C&C are not as relatable/accessible which is okay but I prefer to listen and bob along to music not just hear it. This is one of their more 'listenable' poppier albums though it can skew a little auto tuned Fall Out Boy-esque at times.

Like Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, Coheed & Cambria have been putting out amazing works of rock and they just keep getting better with time. This, their tenth album, to me is among their best.

SUCH a good album, no stickers or skips on here. This album was a little out of left field from their regular sound, but a welcome change. The sound feels big, like that same feeling you get from looking up at a hug building. A Disappearing Act, left me confused at first, but now I'm obsessed.

Leaner and meaner than part 1, this is an excellent album with beautiful artwork and some stone cold Coheed classics. I'm guessing "Shoulders" could replace "Welcome Home" as the one Coheed song everyone knows. What a riff!

Continua l'epopea galattica, creata dalla mente geniale di Claudio Sanchez cantante e scrittore delle maggior parti delle canzoni di questa band fenomenale, Vaxis I era un album veramente eccellente con dei picchi solidi di puro prog metal vecchio stile e sezioni più moderne che fanno l'occhiolino ai fan che magari scopriranno questi musicisti che hanno all'attivo 11 album 10 in studio e 1 live, tutti o quasi estremamente buoni. Vaxis II ci riporta nello spazio profondo con un concept album che promuove la storia stabilita nella maggior parte dei precedenti album in studio della band, The Amory Wars. È la seconda parte di un arco narrativo di cinque capitoli, descritto dalla band come "una coppia in fuga dalle forze tiranniche e dalla loro misteriosa nuova aggiunta"( penso il figlio della coppia).

Dieses Album hat alles, was ich an Coheed & Cambria liebe. Traumhafte Melodien mit modernen Sounds (mehr Keyboard als sonst) und einer gewissen Härte. Nach dem etwas schwächeren Vorgänger, ist dieses Album wieder ein Meisterwerk. Nachdem man es einmal durchgehört hat und am Schluss das Thema noch mal orchestral ausgeklinkt, möchte man sofort wieder von vorne starten.
