Soo I'm not really familiar with Coheed and how popular they are- do they normally sell out shows quickly? My friend said a lot of the VIP packages and things were selling out and that I should get my tickets ASAP. I would like to just walk to the venue after work tomorrow to avoid paying a bunch of extra fees.
Pretty sure they've been selling out the Ogden the last 4 times or so they've played there. Which is why I said I'm glad they realize they can move up to a bigger venue. I'm not sure how to judge this show with it being a bigger venue. I don't expect it will sell out but I could be wrong.

The only Prog-related show I can think of that was at the Fillmore that sold out was Primus. But I think Primus has a bigger fan base.

Cool... well, I got a ticket

It's weird how tastes change over time. I've tried listening to this band a lot over the years, but I've never been able to get into them, partially because I was put off by Claudio's vocals. Now, all of a sudden, Claudio's voice has clicked with me, and I cannot get enough of this band. I'm rapidly becoming totally obsessed.

Funny how his vocals put a lot of people off at first. Claudio's vocals were originally what got me hooked to the band. I'm strange I guess lol.

I guess the same applied to me. Well, it happened twice. First time, I was like eh...second time, I really enjoyed it but ended up forgetting about the band for awhile for some reason. Then all of a sudden when they announced Neverender: IKSOSE:3 over the summer I was like, "I'll give them another listen and see if I wanna go see them live". Ever since then, they've been appearing quite regularly on my playlist and I did end up seeing the Neverender show with Thank You Scientist. Got the album on vinyl at the show as well!

Their lyrics are just so weird sometimes. I can think of at least two beautifully soft "love ballads" that involve the mentioning of killing someone.

I always get this creepy vibe. Like I'm listening to the beautiful love song thinking, "I'd love to sing this to my wife.....oh wait..." $:-\$

I even picked up the Armory Wars graphic novels (had them signed by Claudio at Emerald City ComiCon last year!

) in hopes of better understanding the story...but the story is actually pretty dumb.

*POOF*.... some stranger I've never met before just appeared out of nowhere and told me my children will cause the destruction of the entire universe....sounds good to me...let's kill them! Really? I mean...REALLY?

I've never paid attention to the lyrics or the story.

Also I had the same sort of experience as Jaffa. The first time I tried them, I hated Claudio's voice. Then a few months later I listened to 'em again and loved them for some reason. Go figure.

PolarizeMe · « **Reply #951 on:** October 21, 2014, 06:08:12 PM »

I don't pay attention to the story either, but I'm definitely aware of The Amory Wars concept. I just found it weird when I talked to fans at the show I went to last month or elsewhere and they brought up the story and go deep into the subject I'm only thinking in my head "Yeah, mmmhmm. Whatever!"

One fan told me that it was a mortal sin to have Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV Volume I as your favorite Coheed album because Claudio allegedly wrote it in anger over his girlfriend (who ironically is now his wife) breaking up with him. I honestly don't know if it's true and if it is, I'm not sure what to think of it actually. $:\$

They just put out a song called "You Got Spirit, Kid". New album is titled The Color Before The Sun. Out October 9, 2015.

I didn't even know they were releasing a new album this year. Nice surprise for me!

As for the song, I like it alright but I'm not crazy about the lyric-less vocal melodies.

Heretic · « **Reply #956 on:** July 07, 2015, 01:15:41 PM »

I always love pop-Coheed, and this was no exception. Great song.

I hear that the album is going to be their first without a concept, is that true? If so, interesting-- doing that didn't work out incredibly well for The Dear Hunter, but I can see Coheed pulling it off for the most part-- and the lyrics might actually be applicable at points for once.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #957 on:** July 07, 2015, 01:16:42 PM »

Song is pretty fun and jumpy. I like the last minute of it, I wonder how the next song it leads into will sound.

What about the Color Spectrum? While that sort of had a concept it's not anything like Amory Wars or the Acts, and that is considered by a lot of people to be among their best.

I agree for the most part with Migrant, though I don't think it's a bad album so much as a different one.

While this song is no Domino the Destitute as far as lead singles go it's better than what they put out for Black Rainbow.

Oh, well yeah, I adore TCS! It's great. Just as the first real studio album that wasn't Act-related, TDH were criticized a lot for its sound. I liked it a lot personally, but I can agree it isn't quite comparable to the Acts.

And yeah, I like this song more than most of YOTBR already. It sits calmly at the bottom of their discography for me...

Nel · « **Reply #960 on:** July 07, 2015, 11:46:41 PM »

I have this weird thing with bands where I'll discover or get into them just before a new album is announced (and then I get all happy because it's like I hopped on the bandwagon at just the right time), and then that album ends up being being far weaker than all the stuff that made me fall in love with them.

YotBR was that for me. I discovered "Welcome Home" through Rock Band (Guitar Hero? My college gaming is hazy.), and ate up everything. I distinctly remember almost being late for class because I headed out early to go pick the album up. It wasn't at the local music store and I think I wound up finding it at a Borders book store across the street. I like the album enough to still spin it, but I didn't know what to make of it that first spin on the way to class. Was it actually weaker or did I get too hyped? Five years later I'd say it's not as strong an album but still has enough fun moments.

jammindude · « **Reply #961 on:** July 08, 2015, 06:18:31 AM »

I thought YotBR was OK....it was NWFT that seemed to be complete crap to me. It was like a lighter, poppier, less complex version of GAIBSF1. Basically, it took all the elements of 1, took away all the stuff I loved about it, and rehashed it.

However, the Afterman albums were INCREDIBLE.

With the new album coming out soon, who'd be up for doing a Coheed survivor? Probably starting around the end of the month or so if there's enough interest.

Genowyn · « **Reply #965 on:** October 02, 2015, 01:52:15 PM »

I'd participate.

TioJorge · « **Reply #966 on:** October 02, 2015, 03:45:37 PM »

I haven't listened to these guys since End Complete and my friend randomly played The Numbers Song for me... That is some beautiful, amazingly catchy shit right there! I've been playing it nonstop and need to listen to the album entirely, especially since it's on Apple Music. I also heard You Got Spirit, Kid and really enjoyed that as well. Apparently I like the poppier side of Coheed and that's cool, it's just surprising to me how much I like it. As others mentioned, I started out not liking the vocals very much and back in the day listened to End really just for the instruments, but I've warmed up to it immensely, especially in the style of TNS and YGSK.

It's interesting that A LOT of my favorite bands these days are bands I started out just straight up not liking at all. Townsend (well, SYL back then), Radiohead, The Dear Hunter, Between The Buried and Me...all started out as me disliking, sometimes immensely, a certain part of the bands' sound. Now I'm addicted to all of the above. Tastes change drastically both mentally and physically...crazy stuff.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #967 on:** October 03, 2015, 01:34:28 PM »

Hahaha, that song is called Number City and it's a great song, my favorite from the album.

I got into Coheed the same way, being a shitty teen, I just put off the vocals. Then, I really got into Welcome Home. Now, I enjoy them a lot. Cant wait for the new album.

TioJorge · « **Reply #968 on:** October 03, 2015, 01:40:01 PM »

Oh woops.

I still need to check out The Afterman in its entirity. I really like the other singles released from the upcoming album, though YGSK is my favorite.

Aefenwelg · « **Reply #969 on:** October 08, 2015, 03:45:38 PM »

So, CBS is out there somewhere. I've listened to it three times, but I'm not going to say anything yet.

And I would participate in a Coheed survivor.

Nel · « **Reply #970 on:** October 08, 2015, 08:16:04 PM »

Thanks to my stupid work schedule, I don't really have an opening to get the album tomorrow. Urgh.

I got into the band through Rock Band back in 2007/08 when I was a freshman in college. Never had even heard of them before then, but my roommate bought the game, and when "Welcome Home" first played, I loved the song and I think I scooped up the four studio albums over the next few months.

TioJorge · « **Reply #971 on:** October 08, 2015, 10:10:51 PM »

Ha! That's pretty cool. I've never gotten into any bands because of those types of games and (well, I haven't played or even seen anything of them in almost a decade so...) have always known of all the bands in them but... Funny, before I got into Coheed, I saw the band '3' in concert opening for someone...I can't even remember who..then later on, found out that the frontman was the brother of a guy in this weird band called Coheed and Cambria, checked 'em out with No World and went from there. Har har! Life. Psh.

I am about to spin the new album!!! Excite!! I randomly started loving Eraser, like...a shitload, whereas when I first heard it, it was my least favorite of the three singles released. That might mean that it'll take this album a bit to sink in... I'm about to see...er...hear. Woot woot.

Nel · « **Reply #972 on:** October 08, 2015, 10:27:27 PM »

There's actually quite a surprising number of bands I got into because of those games. I might hate playing them, but they certainly had a use in band exposure.

TioJorge · « **Reply #976 on:** October 09, 2015, 01:21:17 AM »

Whoa! So...not what I expected from the singles. For the most part, in a very, very good way. A lot more restrained a lot of the time, but it still packs a very big punch emotionally. Got kind of choked up at times, really powerful stuff... But as I thought, it's gonna be a grower for sure except for the Peace/Mountain, Eraser and Ghost, which are all immediate classics to my ears. THAT is how you end an album. Great stuff but I am kind of lukewarm on a couple others. Then again I may be saying those are my favorites in a couple weeks. Very interesting turn from Afterman though, which I can appreciate; it's great they're still changing it up.

I'm gonna put my money on her not knowing who he was. It'd be a lil odd for her to ask him if she did know who he was. But what a nice guy!

Coheed were at New York comic con this weekend selling the new album, and one day they did a signing so I picked up the LP, heard it today and I really like it!

TioJorge · « **Reply #979 on:** October 13, 2015, 06:20:13 PM »

Noice! I couldn't take the quality of the leak anymore, plus didn't wanna overplay it. This already sounds leagues better. I've got it pre-ordered so I can't wait to hear it in even better quality than this. But the stream really isn't bad at all. Man, there are so many people that are butthurt over this album, it seems (both in sound and concept...er...lack thereof). It's hilarious seeing all the turds bitch and moan about this not being apart of the Amory Wars. As if they should have a say or are entitled to it...buncha cunts.

I don't think this will end up being my favorite, but I really like it a lot and am glad that they expanded their horizons to something other than pure concept. It's a great balance of songs with some oomph, some other tracks that actually sound like they'd fit right in with the Amory Wars, and a few tracks have a lot of heart and emotion to them. Maybe it's because I've never been huge into these sprawling stories (with any band, even my favorites), but I'm glad to hear that they can do a slightly different formula and method but still keep that Coheed sound.

News: Dreamtheaterforums.org is a place of peace. ...except when it is a place of BEING ON FIRE!!!
