'''Coheed and Cambria''' is a prog rock band from New York, not a kind of cigar. Their concept albums tell a science fiction story taken directly from ''The Amory Wars'' comics, written by Claudio Sanchez (the lead singer).
Each studio album corresponds to a chapter in the comics, and they were released in more or less the same order.
Here's a list, but, be warned, [[Word Salad Title|the titles]] [[Long Title|are ridiculous]]:

Like most music projects that involve telling a story, it's halfway between Plot, What Plot? and [[Mind Screw]], though the comics help to tell a coherent narrative (though as you'll see below, it can get hard to follow anyway).
The tropes below cover both the band and comics for convenience's sake.
{{creatortropes}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: ''33'' for Patrick, and, according to Claudio S., the first three vocalized songs in ''In Keeping Secrets'' for Sizer.▼
*
* [[A God Am I]]: Coheed, {{spoiler|when the Monstar activates.}}▼
**
** And, apparently--though we must wait until the comics eventually come to the fourth album-- {{spoiler|Wilhelm Ryan and Claudio Kilgannon.}}▼
*
** And, even more so, the Writer, who is the god of the [[Alien Sky|Keywork]]▼
▲* [[Alien Sky]]: Shown on the second page of the new comics, with several planets clearly visible.
▲* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: It has been mentioned Ambellina was cast out by the other Prise, but for reasons unknown at the moment.
▲** Year of the Black Rainbow suggests that it's a combination of her own choice, and a punishment for acting against Paranoia's instruction.
▲* [[Arc Words]]: Some variant of "What did I do to deserve this?" appears at least once in every album since ''In Keeping Secrets''. The comics [[Retcon|retcons]] this into ''Second Stage Turbine Blade'' as well.
** The lyrics to four different songs in ''Good Apollo Vol. 1'' mention "one kiss/one last kiss."
*
**
**

**
*** 21:13 is actually a reference to Rush, one of Coheed's inspirations.
**** 21:13 in the universe according to [[Word of God]] is the time Claudio was supposed to be home by. It's essentially "Everything Evil" from Claudio's point of view.
**
*** But just to mention one of them: the planet where it all started is called 'Silent Earth: 3' (which, chronologically, is the band's ''third'' musical installment in the Amory Wars saga).

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: With the song titles "Apollo I: The Writing Writer" and "The Lying Lies & Dirty Secrets of Miss Erica Court"
* [[Elite Mooks]]: The Onstantine Priests
Line 80 ⟶ 77:
** [[The Big Guy]]: Chris
** [[The Chick]]: Wes Styles (touring keyboardist/backing vocals)
▲**
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Cambria has traces of Mage DNA; this is suggested to be the source of her [[Psychic Powers]].▼
* [[Hollywood Cyborg]]: Coheed (and possibly other IRO-bots), Crom, and Deftinwolf.▼
*
▲*
* [[Ironic Echo]]: "What did I do to deserve this?"▼
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: "Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops!" is but one of many...▼
* [[I Call It Vera]]: Al the Killer's rifle, "The Faint of Hearts"
** The whole of ''Willing Well II: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness.''▼
* [[Lyrics Video Mismatch]]: Since their songs all (allegedly) follow the same plot as the comics, and most of their videos... well... don't, this is a given.▼
* [[Long Title]]: ''The Second Stage Turbine Blade'' and ''In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3'' aren't ''too'' bad. But then there's ''Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness'' and ''Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow''▼
* [[Mad God]]: The omnipotent Writer doesn't just have conversations with his bicycle; he actually ''follows its editorial advice''.▼
▲*
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: Most of their songs are 6-7, with the rest at around 5.▼
▲*
* [[Narm]]: The [[Word Salad Lyrics]] can't be taken seriously every moment.▼
▲*
** Also because it's easy to mishear the lyrics, even causing mild [[Memetic Mutation]] in the fandom with some common or hilarious ones (Most famously "Barking Apple of Doom" in ''Welcome Home'' and "Should the Iron Negro Hungry" in ''In Keeping Secrets of a Silent Earth: 3.'')▼
▲*
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Josephine}}'s body contains the Monstar antidote. Guess who gets killed by {{spoiler|Coheed}}.▼
* [[Offing the Offspring]]: Coheed and Cambria do this early on by poisoning their two youngest children, beating their injured older daughter to death with a hammer, but never get a chance to kill their other son...because they realize that {{spoiler|[[Mind Screw|their children weren't infected with a disease that would kill the Keywork]]}}▼
▲**
* [[One of Us]]: Claudio. All the way▼
▲*
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: The blue-skinned, blond-haired Prise▼
▲*
* [[Our Souls Are Different]]: The souls of the Keywork are trapped as zombies.▼
** Also connected to [[Arc Number]] above, with the number three▼
** Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan, General Mayo Deftinwulf, and Admiral Veilar Crom are another trio. Also, others may exist (possibly Claudio Kilgannon, Ambelinna, and Inferno on the third album?)▼
*
** And Claudio (the character, not the singer) also has some form of [[Psychic Powers]]▼
▲**
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Coheed's wife Cambria has telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance...
* [[Psycho Serum]]: For [[Person of Mass Destruction|the Beast]] {{spoiler|in the syringa dragonfly stinger}}

** One example of [[Word Salad Lyrics]]: 'You're frightened of leaving this truly gone fishing amalgam' Makes a bit of sense if you think about it, but still messed up.
