first time reading vaxis act 1 and getting to the gutter installation scene: woah this is so beyond fucked why did they feel the need to go into intense detail about what it does and how it operates?

rereading vaxis act 1:

[sister-spiders]

“yeah unheavenly creatures is good and one of my favorite albums ever! vaxis ii: a window of the waking mind is also really cool and up there! you should check them out!”

[throughout the vaxis arc thus far nos and nia’s love for each other [and later, love for their son as well] is so strong it has its own distinct leitmotif [🎵we all go up in flames, going out in style🎵].

the melody both begins and closes unheavenly creatures and opens a window of the waking mind as not only the first thing their son vaxis says but the first line overall. not only that, but it comes back in full power, a cinematic soundtrack in The Embers of Fire. their love has only gotten stronger through hardships, exploding with strings and , and hope and fierceness, opposed to the quiet, tender meekness of the solo piano in unheavenly creatures. add onto that the full symphonic celebration in the closing minute of Window of the Waking Mind, as well as the entire album as vaxis wakes to join his parents, who have fought tooth and nail for their son for years, in hopes that he would one day rise from his comatose state. finally, the three are truly a happy family.

we can also hear that each member of said family brings their own instruments to this melody; in unheavenly creatures, we hear one soft, haunting piano; the two are living separate lives, both plagued with the pain of loss and abandonment. in the beginning of vaxis ii, we hear keys and strings, as the two lovers have been reunited, and are ready to take on the world. however, at the end of vaxis ii, when their little boy rises to meet his parents, there are triumphant horns alongside everything else. three different sounds, three different reunions, each more powerful than the last.

this is a work of genius. love really does conquer all, btw.]

youre telling me. youre telling me nos took up the name creature after nia joined him in gang activity. because ‘every creature deserves to be loved by someone who would steal for it.’ screaming crying throwing up

are you looking for a new album to listen to? do you like concept albums? do you like rock operas?

do you like sci-fi? betrayal? tragedy? war? love?

if you answered yes to some/most of these, coheed and cambria’s The Unheavenly Creatures [or Vaxis Act I!!!] might be for you!!!

the songs are great as standalones, but listening to it as one collective piece is great!!! there’s even a novella to accompany it if the plot seems a little lost in the music! [google vaxis act 1 pdf. theres a dropbox link full of flawless scans.]

guys i cant tell you how much i recommend this. if you like ‘partners in crime’ stuff youll especially dig this.
