Music reviews of Neverender: Children of the Fence Edition (Limited Edition 4 CD/5 DVD)
Music Review: An Overpriced Yet Excellent Boxset Rating: 5 Stars
Neverender is the type of boxset I like to see: daring, yet completest for the fans. In that aim, it succeeds beyond what most box sets aim to do.
The Neverender concept is simple: after recording the "Amory War" section of their planned five-album saga, they decided to do a live concert presented in the way that their fans started to love the band: in the exact order of the CD track listing. In my mind, that Coheed does every song of every album is a tribute to their vision... but is mostly a tribute to the music itself.
The concerts have the band in tight and fine form; it shows the band in a single venue without overdubs or studio-mastering (beyond mixing levels for consumer release). While Coheed recorded all four Neverender gigs, this box set has only the first night of the concerts; because of that, you get the band at its freshest. They're raw, powerful, and exciting.
As you know, the concerts are in two different packages: this box set, or a DVD box which costs around $75 cheaper (with Amazon's discount, else it'd be much more expensive). There are only 15,000 copies of the set, and it's expensive. So, is it worth the sticker shock?
The reason why you'd pick this set is because the concerts are presented in CD form and also comes with an extra documentary. I bought it since I wanted this in CD since some nights did run longer than 80 minutes (and some content needed to be cut down for CD form). The documentary is really good; it has the band, friends, family, and label talking about the band's chronology, from high school to stardom. Also in the set is a metal dragonfly (the band's symbol) and a photobook.
The reason why you wouldn't pick up the set is that it's incredibly expensive. There's ten hours of media here (assuming you watch the concert on DVD and listen to it on CD), so unless you expect to go through all the material ten times, you won't break $1/hour for the amount of enjoyment you get.
For me this boxset is worth it. I'm a semi-casual fan of the band; Second Stage Turbine Blade is the only Coheed album that I've ever listened to seriously before. I was surprised to find that I've already sunk around 25 hours into this set so far; it's truly a fantastic live set.
I view Neverender: Children of the Fence edition as a gift to the fans. By buying this it sends a message to the band and the label that you appreciate the thoughtfulness of the event, the content, its presentation, and its vision.
