i still rate second stage turbine + in keeping secrets of silent earth
yep, second stage is a lost sunny day real estate album. i like year of the black rainbow more than most but both of the recent afterman records are better and probably their best since keeping secrets

afterman also contains a fake thin lizzy song!

New song from their first NON-concept album? I don't know how I feel about it yet, especially because I came to really love Afterman.

lyrics stink, song is fun. they'll never top "good eye, sniper. here I'll shoot, you run."

been listening to 'IV' a lot recently .. (i know its not the real album title, but thats all i can recall)no idea re the rest of their catalogue, but i cannot deny i like their new prog thing.however, do i need more ? i suspect not.

Which IV? From Fear or No World? I was really into Vol. 1 when I was younger and only recently started to appreciate Vol. 2.
― hourspass, Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:02 (eight years ago) link
ooh .. ok .. hang on :
'Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV : From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness'
the cardboard sleeve just has a massive 'IV'on it, so just assumed that was what the album had become known as ..
(still no idea as to how that answers your question !)
― mark e, Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:10 (eight years ago) link
Just curious. I've been starting to appreciate all the stuff that I didn't care about before (except for Year of the Black Rainbow, which I can't get into).
This is the most cursing I've ever heard in a Coheed song, and I wonder if it is indicative of what we should expect from this album.
― hourspass, Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:14 (eight years ago) link
oh lol i was going to rep the afterman and then saw i did upthread. i think it's kind of their best record after second stage turbine blade at this point

excited for the new record, doubly excited that the new song kinda sounds like boston/the cult
these answers tell me nothing re the album i have !
(and whether it is representative of their groove .. )
― mark e, Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:28 (eight years ago) link
i mean, is mine part of a 'story', or a one off !!?
i get very confused re this lot.
something that never happens re black veiled brides ..
ahem.
― mark e, Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:29 (eight years ago) link
oh lol
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:30 (eight years ago) link
you have the first volume of good apollo i'm burning star iv, which is the fourth chapter of the series
the second half of iv is called no world for tomorrow. it is less good but still pretty ok
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:31 (eight years ago) link
if you want more songs in line with the record you're digging, i recommend in keeping secrets of silent earth:3 and also the afterman
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:32 (eight years ago) link
but yeah it's a very representative record, even though the last four tracks on good apollo i'm burning star iv from fear through the eyes of madness (christ) are the proggiest they ever get
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:33 (eight years ago) link
Oh, sorry. Yeah, pretty much everything ^^ has said. I think that Vol. 1 might have been their most popular album? It's pretty good, and he's totally right about In Keeping Secrets. As far as the story, I think it's the end of that story arc with Claudio? It's either the end or close to the end. Year of the Black Rainbow is a sort of prequel and Afterman is Sirius Amory.
I think I just outed myself as a giant CoCa nerd.
― hourspass, Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:42 (eight years ago) link
lol right i think once you write a prequel to a prequel it's prob time to stop
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2015 19:58 (eight years ago) link
ta people.
i'm still confused.
and people laff at my love of 70s prog !
so, in summary, i would be best buying more black veil brides albums.
(i really really like 'wretched and divine' )
― mark e, Thursday, 9 July 2015 20:56 (eight years ago) link
one thing i really dislike about good apollo iv vol 1 is uh how misogynistic it is? and it is literally the only coheed record like that
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2015 20:57 (eight years ago) link
ahh .. i need to listen more closely then.
or then again, perhaps not ..
― mark e, Thursday, 9 July 2015 20:59 (eight years ago) link
never been one to listen to lyrics that closely (unless its jim foetus.. )
i mean i didn't even realize it until i revisited it last week
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2015 21:01 (eight years ago) link
never has a band fluctuated in quality more between albums but i'm psyched they're getting back down to prog tacks

good post

woah @ that song. Black Parade vibes with the guitar arrangement
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Saturday, 18 August 2018 18:18 (five years ago) link
Simon otm. The guitar on the chorus is my favourite thing they've done in ages.
― tangenttangent, Saturday, 18 August 2018 20:05 (five years ago) link
I'm trying to avoid hyperbole but I think "The Gutter" might be my new fave song of theirs, though I skipped the last couple releases

this is sounding like the record I always wanted them to make

i'm listening to it now and i think it might be!

"toys" is incredible
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 4 October 2018 15:45 (five years ago) link
sigh, I want to love this but the ludicrous length + lack of variation are brutal to me, idk why I'm surprised cause it's their whole thing much of the time but it still bugs me. once I figure out a ten-track edit I'll probably love it.
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Thursday, 4 October 2018 16:49 (five years ago) link
yeah the length really sucks
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 5 October 2018 22:08 (five years ago) link
i mean the songs are all really good but this album doesn't breathe at all
"toys" is still the fucking best
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 5 October 2018 22:10 (five years ago) link
this is basically a power metal album

this song rules so much
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Saturday, 6 October 2018 00:18 (five years ago) link
Brad I'm gonna let you finish but this is emphatically not power metal

nb I am enjoying it though I like my C&C proggier
oh i just meant in the density of hooks and the unnecessary length! also, same
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Saturday, 6 October 2018 00:41 (five years ago) link
should’ve made my re-coheedwagon joke instead
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Saturday, 6 October 2018 01:22 (five years ago) link
a nice side effect of this record is it made me revisit no world for tomorrow which is way more awesome than i remembered it being especially this song

― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 23:34 (five years ago) link
every time i hear "time consumer" i get impressed all over again that it is basically a mid-'90s emo song

― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 12 October 2018 13:07 (five years ago) link
this is probably the only band i love where i think the debut towers over everything else

Hearing from a friend at tonight's show that drummer passed out on stage. Ambulance called.
Hope he is ok.
