Coheed and Cambria have evolved into a mainstage, prog-rock powerhouse with enough lyrical lore behind them to teach a college class on — and they were always that well-defined. Claudio Sanchez and Co.’s 2002 debut, The Second Stage Turbine Blade, is a triumphant debut album that introduced the sci-fi novel-esque Amory Wars story through 10 songs of technically adventurous — yet still uber-melodic — prog-rock. After spending years as an out-of-print rarity, it’s finally back on vinyl — the format it sounds best on.
