Coheed is one of my favorite bands too. Their new album is pretty much all I've been listening to lately.
Ascension and Descension are both awesome, but I've always liked Descension more too. It has my favorite opener in their discography and is packed with some of the catchiest songs the band has to date.
Totally, Descension has some really catchy songs. Dark Side of Me though, I can't emphasise enough how big a deal to me that song was. The only song that I've been that obsessed with, since it came out, was 'Waves' by The Dear Hunter.
With their new album, I like it but I think, for the first time ever, I wish they'd made it a bit shorter and cut some of the middle songs. The beginning and end of the album are brilliant but there is a lull in the middle for me. Some of the songs are starting to grow each listen so we'll see what my thoughts are come next year; I'll probably love all of it
Yeah I know for sure this isn't the last time we're seeing Coheed
Good album though, I'd rank this behind IKS and NWFT but that's about it
Of course
Interesting ranking. I know you love IKS but rating NWFT above Good Apollo I? I mean I love NWFT and rate both albums very close together, but that opinion is certainly in the minority
