Coheed And Cambria

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.

lol right i think once you write a prequel to a prequel it's prob time to stop

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' )

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

ahh .. i need to listen more closely then.

or then again, perhaps not ..

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

never has a band fluctuated in quality more between albums but i'm psyched they're getting back down to prog tacks

huh this is the most emo they've sounded since good apollo 1???????? also this song is incredible

idk imago and simon h. to thread??

coheed was dope when i saw them at warped back when i was a freshman in hs

other awesome bands that day:

rufio
billy talent
yellowcard (i fronted)
new found glory (MY FRIENDS OVER YOU)
international noise conspiracy (lol wtf)

that's all i remember - it was really fun tho

good post

woah @ that song. Black Parade vibes with the guitar arrangement

Simon otm. The guitar on the chorus is my favourite thing they've done in ages.

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX6Dz0JRifU

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

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.

yeah the length really sucks

i mean the songs are all really good but this album doesn't breathe at all

"toys" is still the fucking best

this is basically a power metal album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIF2a0eEUiI

this song rules so much

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

should’ve made my re-coheedwagon joke instead

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGpqtO6Vd_k

every time i hear "time consumer" i get impressed all over again that it is basically a mid-'90s emo song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1eAdCEvdv4

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.

oh man <3

He finished the show after an EMT checkup apparently, they cleared him.

phew

Kinda wish the moral wasn't so "bitches, man" but otherwise I appreciate the spirit of this.

lol yeah that's a weird flash of old claudio. song is very solid though

we allll go up in flaaaaames

(new album is awesome)

all around shorter song lengths and more textural variety than vaxis i, i think for the better

"a disappearing act" is the kind of pop/disco/metal track i think i've only heard from devin townsend before

i haven’t been able to stop listening to coheed this week. really strong discog, only one album i don’t really rate and it’s the antiprog/anticoncept one (color before the sun) and even then it has an amazing song called “island”

i decided that “ten speed” is their very best song though. it even helps that it’s about a sentient bicycle demon

This is much better than Vaxis I. I absolutely love the last three songs, especially the last one where they really lean into the prog theatricality.

i'm gonna have to spin this eventually. think I stopped at the album that wasn't conceptual, cos I didn't like it.

but I like the ridiculous bombastic stuff

The run of the last three tracks should do you just fine, for sure.

the album that wasn’t conceptual is their weakest easy, i wish it weren’t the case. vaxis i is bloated but also so packed with great songs it’s hard to complain. and vaxis ii corrects for the bloatedness
