COHEED AND CAMBRIA BOX SET
£135
THE ONLY THING madder than Coheed And Cambria’s whirling symphonic prog is the level of world-building that underpins it all. And the only thing madder than that? Probably the stuffthey’ve been chucking in their limited-edition Vaxis box sets. This third instalment continues the band’s long-running Amory Wars saga, and lurking within the fancy, foil-stamped box you’ll find a copy of the Father Of Make Believe CD alongside a 96-page novella and poster. So far so standard, but there’s also a light-up replica of the Blind Side Sonny character’s helmet and ‘neuro-dynamic display goggles’. This item is, apparently, “fully wearable”, and we’d really love to be a fly on the wall at your local A&E, hearing you explain precisely what they are and just how they came to be stuck on your silly bonce.
