Concept albums can "make or break" a band, but Coheed and Cambria pull it off with such seamlessness and craft that one can almost forget "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" is one.The New York City-based quartet, playing at the Sphere tonight with Rainer Maria and Funeral For A Friend, center their music on a storyline involving two lovers - none other than Coheed and Cambria - and their adventures in what drummer Josh Eppard describes as "a dark, post-apocalyptic world."The storyline, however, takes a backseat to the frenetic, stylish music.
