"Never again will I believe the same old story"

Following in the footsteps established by the previous two songs, Year of the Black Rainbow continues to chronicle what's happened with the band in the last number of years and how far they've come. But not every one of the songs deals with the bad side. Aside from having to deal with bad media coverage and struggling to please their fan base, Coheed and Cambria have nevertheless come very far.

If "This Shattered Symphony" was about the the band's struggle with pleasing their fan base and "World of Lines" was a counterattack on media and other critics for not taking the band or their music seriously, it could only be natural for the guys to realize that despite all they've been through, they've also managed to make something of themselves. With that, "Made Out of Nothing (All That I Am)" is a most fitting title.

That's the simple explanation, really. The song is just about the last of those off the album that are least about the story than the others. As the song is a confirmation and a realization that the band has been "made out of nothing", the music style is thus a reflection of this mood. Lighter-toned, catchy, and a bit happier, this song has a slight No World for Tomorrow feeling to it.

However, the song is also rather generic. Vocally and musically, "Made Out of Nothing" reminds me a lot of a few other songs I've heard off many tunes. While the verses are truly amazing and memorable, they lead into rather unspectacular choruses. All in all, nothing that's particularly noteworthy, but still a good song nonetheless.

This song is much better explained by the band than I can fully explain it. I This review.
