The Amory Score is a weekly podcast where your hosts Jackson & Molly take you on a journey through the ridiculous discography of Coheed and Cambria. Going track by track, they're here to explain to you just what the heck the deal is with that incomprehens
Jackson Tyler and Molly Rhinebeck
Did you think we forgot about you? We're back. It's time to talk about the Album with absolutely nothing to talk about.
We did it! We finished The Afterman and also, holy shit, Coheed released a new Album and we talked about that.
IT'S TIME!! The brand new format for The Amory Score is here as we stop taking years to do a single album and just knock one out every few months. Welcome back. We all need Mayo today.
THE BOOK IS DEAD WE ARE FREEThis brings an end to this untenable “one song every 2-5 months” structrure we've been doing. Simply our schedules are a disaster. The episodes will be about the same distance apart but about full albums for the last couple.
MAYO DEFTINWOLF WAS IN HIS GLORYone more episode. and then we are free
We will finish this album this year. We will. No matter how bad this book gets, we will make it through, and together we will all stand on the other side as Coheed experts. But the trial doesn't get easier.
We're back and ready to tackle the worst combination of song and chapter we have yet seen on The Amory Score. Content Warnings for sexual assault and misogyny, even beyond the usual level of that stuff that comes from covering a story like The Amory Wars.
The Amory Score is back. At the rate of an old Newgrounds Cartoon we will drag ourselves over the finish line on this terrible book this year. It's going to happen. Just you wait.
Hello! We recorded this episode in something resembling reasonable time and it has sat on my hard drive unedited for over a month. Classic Jackson. I accept all blame. Anyway, here's the best song on the whole album.
Amory Scores are like busses. You wait months for one and then two come along at once. But in our defence we had no idea Coheed were going to drop a song today, let alone one as powerfully stupid and deserving of immeidiate attention as a sequel to Jessie's Girl, that is also now a horror movie about how women do be crazy bro.Please, enjoy the bonus episode.You can follow Jackson and Molly on twitter, and to keep listening you can find the podcast on our website, from our RSS, or on iTunes!
As suddenly as we disappear, we appear again to bring you another episode of The Amory Score. reading this book in chapters once every 4 months is a project that will kill both of us, but we do it for you, because we love you, and we love content.
Last time we convened it was February. Before the dawning of hell world. Apologies for the delay in episodes but seeing as Molly works in primary care, we weren't going to force ourselves to read this terrible, terrible book in the middle of all this. But we have convened for now, and we shall return again in time unknown, where the black rainbow awaits us all.
This month we read chapter 4 of Year of the Black Rainbow, as well as dig into the lead single, Here We Are Juggernaut. It's a bit of a lighter month after the feature length episode last time, but we do our best to bring the goods with the content we are given.
This month we are joined by our friend Hannah to talk about chapters 2 and 3 of the book Year of the Black Rainbow, the song Guns of Summer, and some special surprise bonus segments. Thank you so much to Hannah for being on, and I hope everyone listening enjoys the podcast it is truly a special one.You can follow Jackson and Molly on twitter, and to keep listening you can find the podcast on our website, from our RSS, or on iTunes!
We're back! Happy new fuckin' year, it's time for The Amory Score to return from the darkness to bring hope for the future!! And this time, we don't just have an album to talk about, but a whole novel written by Claudio Sanchez and Peter David. It's time to find out just what the hell is going on in Year of The Black Rainbow, as we wonder eternally: where oh where is Mayo?You can follow Jackson and Molly on twitter, and to keep listening you can find the podcast on our website, from our RSS, or on iTunes!
To make up for the hell schedule this podcast has been on this year, we bring you a special extra long episode to finish the No World For Tomorrow season. We don't know when we'll be back with Year of the Black Rainbow, but when we are back we know we'll at the very leasy have a novel to breakdown so the podcasts will go back to us analysing the content that exists, not speculating off an album full of samey, nondescript lyrics! Which will be good.I hope you enjoy this episode, and I hope to see you all when we're back!You can follow Jackson and Molly on twitter, and to keep listening you can find the podcast on our website, from our RSS, or on iTunes!
The world's most infrequent podcast returns!!! We're so close to the end of this album now so maybe we'll be able to read that book before 2050? Thank you all for your patience, we enjoy when we can record these but life makes it almost impossible to get find the opportunities to.
Hello everyone, you may have forgotten that we are still a podcast, and for that you will be forgiven, because with our lives being how they are it is all but impossible to find moments in our lives where we can record twenty minutes of audio into microphones about the work of the band Coheed and Cambria. But despite that, we press on, and we have another episode here for you today. This album offers us nothing, and it has taken everything from us.
We were able to find some time last weekend to get an episode recorded! The hell period of scheduling continues but we will keep doing our best to bring episodes when we can. This week we're listening to one of Coheed's biggest power ballads. They are swinging for the fences tonight.You can follow Jackson and Molly on twitter, and to keep listening you can find the podcast on our website, from our RSS, or on iTunes!
Flashback to November when Molly and I were extremely excited about how fast this season of podcasts were going to go: that ended up not happening. Sorry for the delay, both of our personal lives are not in great situations right now so it's extremely hard to find the time to record! I hope you enjoy this episode though, our other podcasts continue apace, and we'll get another episode out to you as soon as we can!!
This week in The Amory Score we tackle one of the songs we have been waiting for since the beginning of this podcast as we come back to the beginning to visit an old, old friend. Also we're a week late. Sorry. We try.
This week in The Amory Score we break down our takes on what we think The Hound (of Blood and Rank) is about and get into how the last comic fucked everyone's understanding of the canon up. Such is the way of things when you are trying to deduce an entire space opera from extremely vague lyrics.
We reach Coheed and Cambria's fourth album, No World For Tomorrow and find ourselves without a comic to guide us. Which means that things are going to be a little different here on our amory shore, with the episodes being much shorter but coming out more frequently as we're recording two episodes in a session now.With no confirmed plot, we shall be analyzing the lyrics every week and doing our best to form No World For Tomorrow into a truly coherent narrative, I hope you will join us for the journey. After this, we have a whole dang novel to cover. It's another exciting new season of The Amory Score.You can follow Jackson and Molly on twitter, and to keep listening you can find the podcast on our website, from our RSS, or on iTunes!
For a transitory Amory Score, we are joined by our friend Hannah to talk about I Dissent, the Funny or Die parody song that Coheed and Cambria recorded, made out of excerpts from Antonin Scalia's
The Amory Score returns for its final ride on the Good Apollo Part 1 train as we listen to the song The Final Cut and read The Final Issue and pass the final word on this nearly year long journey of wife murder. It's been a long, long road.You can follow Jackson and Molly on twitter, and to keep listening you can find the podcast on our website, from our RSS, or on iTunes!
In this episode of The Amory Score we finish the original Star IV graphic novel, reach the most problematic line in all of Coheed's discography, one of their best songs, and we listen to the final pre-album single for The Unheavenly Creatures! It's all happening here in The Amory Score.
Freed from the constraints of the currently releasing comic's erratic schedule, we turn now to the past and take a look at the original 2005 Graphic Novel release of this particular story. It's pretty difficult to follow, but that's alright, because we're also covering one of the best songs that Coheed have ever done. In conclusion, a land of contrasts.
After a six week hiatus, Molly and Jackson are back to tackle Issue 11 of Good Apollo! Here's the situation: we were waiting for the final issue to have its release date confirmed, and its deadline grew closer and closer and then finally a week ago they just said fuck it and delayed the issue until October. And we're not waiting that long. So we're back, and we've got an extra long, extra rowdy episode here for you all today. Come on in and enjoy.
The battle on Apity Prime continues to rage as Ten Speed brings Ryder into the fiction and all hell breaks loose. Molly and Jackson look on bemused as we wait for this whole thing to resolve itself the only way that it can: with a zombie army fight.
The end is in sight as Molly and Jackson tackle issue nine of the Good Apollo comic. All the pieces are in place as everyone heads towards the final conclusion, with the battle raging on at Apity Prime. But if that's the case, how come there's a part two? What greater twists lie in store? Find out right here on The Amory Score.
We're back and we have a very special episode for you all! Not only do we have the regular summaries of the comic and our opinions on this episode's song, but there has been new coheed music released since we recorded last. We bring you exclusive new hot takes on their latest song: The Dark Sentencer!
In which Claudio takes the biggest L that he has ever taken. Come around the fire, and let us tell you the origin story of this whole album, and find out how this came to be.
When last we left our heroes, they were on a planet that nobody could see in the universe where its defining characteristic is that it is physically impossible to have an 'unknown' planet on account of them being bound together by magic soul energy that glows blue. We here at The Amory Score have been cataloging the various bizarre choices of The Amory Wars for months now, and we still find it in ourselves, somehow, to be legitimately upset at this rejection of worldbuilding. We're back, baby.
Hello! Hi! I hope our absence hasn't been too hard on you all. The good news is, our long national nightmare of me "being at school" is now over and Molly and I are going to be back on our biweekly schedule from next week! It's time! But we have one last little treat for you before that, and it's a little reel of our backup recordings, of the shit that we get up to when we're not recording the episode. It's very, very stupid.
Hey everyone, there is no episode this week! I'm still in the hell that is university work and I've spent all day packing my shit to move across the country, so arranging me and Molly's schedule to get the episode up and finished proved impossible. However, I put aside enough time to record a quick thing about some of the other music that I like that you are all free to roast me for. Don't record podcasts on your own. It drains you. It drains you in your soul.
There are many reasons to become a god. Perhaps you hate god, and by ascending to godhood yourself, you can kill him and end the suffering of the people. Perhaps you wish to create something in your image, or perhaps you are simply bored. But really, why does man do anything? What spurs a man to both bare and shield his soul in the same breath, to create and destroy in equal measure, to confuse hate and love as if they were but one emotion? Why, there is only ever one answer: tfw no gf.
We've had a little delay in bringing this episode to you but never fear, The Amory Score is here to let you know just what the fuck is going on in Heaven's Fence. And the answer? Well, something incredibly boring. There are no fucking bicycles here. Only sadness, will you find.
In the weeks leading up to this album, you may have heard us mention "The Bicycle." You may have thought, why are they talking about a bicycle? Why are they seemingly excited for a bicycle? What could this Bicycle possibly be? Well, my friends, those questions are answered today. Enter: Ten Speed.
In the latest Amory Score, we finally reach Coheed and Cambria's most popular song, and really start to drill down into the artistic ethics of wifemurder.
The Amory Score is back for its third and most exciting season yet! This time we're looking at Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. A break up album in its truest sense, the story is about to get full on bananas and we hope you're going to come along for the ride. Also, we're covering the still-going Good Apollo comic which, unlike the previous ones we've read, is actually a decent read! Things are looking up!
Our journey has come to an end as we bring to you the final song on In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, the hidden track, the bonus track, the secret kept from everybody, no that wasn't even intentional this band has just taken everything from me. Please come on in and discover what possible surprise Coheed and Cambria have in store for you. I promise you, it is worth it.
Last time, we concluded the adventures of the comic called In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3! But, we still have two more songs to go until we can complete the album. And so, today we bring you two final episodes, where in the first of which we attempt to figure out what the hell is going on in The Light and The Glass. Your Father's Dead, and We Don't Know Who He Is
The time is finally here, the finale (of the comic) for In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 is here. We've got some working out for what to do next time as we wrap up the album but please enjoy our breakdown of the climactic events of the final issue.
All converge on Apity Prime as the final battle begins, and we dig into the various forms of Coheed and Cambria's misogynistic tendencies in one of the most uncomfortable songs in the discogragphy.
The gang is all together! Al, Ambellina, Sizer and Claudio head to the other side of Shylos Ten for a daring rescue mission, while we learn some details about just what the fuck is going on over at House Atlantic
Wilhelm Ryan is resurrected as Claudio and Ambellina finally find what they have been looking for for the past few issues: the plot has showed up.
The Crowing and Ambellina finally meet as things come start to come together on Shylos Ten! Will they come together this week? No, no they will not, but eventually there will be a plot in this comic. Or so I am told.
The war between the rebellion and Wilhelm Ryan has been long and bloody, and it hasn't made much sense, but surely we will be in for a better time as we cut across the galaxy to the other plotline, that of The Crowing and his (currently unformed) entourage. Spoilers: we will not fare better at all.
After the rebellion's wife ex machina victory against Ryan's forces, the supreme tri-mage is taken into custody. Jesse decides that he shall not be executed on the spot, but instead tried, by undefined space laws, so that they can prove once and for all that he is evil, and also not a god. It's worth the wait, it's all you could ever want: today begins the trial of Wilhelm Ryan.
We return after a break to bring you the story of Chase and Sizer, one of the most uncomfortable stories in The Amory Wars, so uncomfortable that it never really happened. Can their story stand proud with that of Josephine, the woman thrice dead? Please join us for another ridiculous episode of The Amory Score...
Hey everyone, Jackson here with a quick little update: we've had to push this week's Amory Score to next week. I've been very busy with deadlines at school, Molly's very busy with work, and the only times we were both free to record were in the early hours of the morning, so we thought it better to record a much more awake and well-made episode next week. I really am sorry about this! I know it's the best decision for the show in the long run but I still feel really awful about this, so to tide you over I've talked a little bit about one of the demo songs we skipped: Elf Tower New Mexico. Released only in an enhanced edition years later, this song dares to ask the question: what would a song sound like if it wasn't good enough to make the cut?
