Far and Pearl are two of the best songs on YOTBR.

Agreed.

For me Pearl of the stars is an incredibly beautiful track.

Man, I know that with a few more listens The Afterman will supplant my constant shuffling of GA1/IKS3 and become my new favorite album of theirs (with the fight now becoming if I like Ascension or Descension more).

This album has grown quite a bit on me, superb stuff.

ZKX-2099 · « **Reply #739 on:** January 18, 2013, 08:09:24 AM »

Yeah the whole album is brilliant.

Now which of the two is better...

Zantera · « **Reply #740 on:** January 18, 2013, 10:21:33 AM »

I didn't think the first was that special at all tbh, great but not more. But after this album clicked I might go back and check it out again.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #741 on:** January 20, 2013, 05:30:13 PM »

I have been listening to second stage non-stop for the past week. I love it.

I just bought a ticket to a Coheed and Cambria concert, along with Between The Buried and Me, in a couple months. However, I've never been a big fan of either band. I have a buddy who's going, and I figure it will be fun regardless, but now that I have some incentive I'm going to give these guys a more serious try. Any advice on a starting point, album rankings, additional info I might want to know, etc.?

Thanks

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #743 on:** January 21, 2013, 10:46:06 AM »

Probably a good idea to start with the latest album really (both parts). After that, check out Good Apollo Vol 1 and In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth.

Although I may be alone in this opinion, I'm going to recommend Good Apollo Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow. This is the album that really got me to love C&C. I had In keeping secrets and Good Apollo volume 1 for a few months, but this band really didn't click with me until listening to Good Apollo volume 2.

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #745 on:** January 21, 2013, 11:25:17 AM »

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm currently checking out In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth, which begs the question, whats with the album names?

Well Second Stage Turbine Blade is the 2nd part of the story, IKSOSE3 is the third, Good Apollo pt. 1 and 2 is the 4th and last, YOTBR is the first.

The Afterman takes place way before those albums.

Ah, I see, just read about it on Wikipedia. I didn't realize they were related to a graphic novel.

Not really, the graphic novels are a part of the concept created by Claudio.

So who's going to watch Coheed tonight on Conan?

Gadough · « **Reply #750 on:** January 21, 2013, 04:19:20 PM »

I am, but I'll be disappointed if they play Dark Side Of Me. That's the worst song on the album. Sentry the Defiant or The Hard Sell would be a much better choice.

Gadough · « **Reply #752 on:** January 21, 2013, 04:24:53 PM »

Yeah, I figured. At least they're getting some exposure.

Iron Fist is definitely the worst. still, I'd love to hear Number City played live :3

Dimitrius · « **Reply #755 on:** January 21, 2013, 04:59:34 PM »

I can't find a "worst song" as of right now, maybe I'm still on the "new album high" but Iron Fist is the least I liked, but just because I got used to the acoustic version that has so many feels

IMO, Iron Fist is just dumb. Its a turd in a pile of gold. Every other track on the album is awesome, but Iron Fist just plain sucks. again, IMO.
But seriously, think of how amazing Number City would sound with Coheed accompanied by Conan's band! That would be the best shit ever

Gadough · « **Reply #757 on:** January 21, 2013, 09:25:07 PM »

Holy fuck this show is terrible. I can't believe I have to sit through this. Granted, I've always hated late-night shows, but still...this is painfully unfunny.

Also, Iron Fist is an incredible song.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #758 on:** January 21, 2013, 09:56:08 PM »

I don't know, I thought Timothy Olyphant was pretty funny.

Gadough · « **Reply #759 on:** January 21, 2013, 11:16:35 PM »

Good performance! Claudio sounded great, and Josh looked like he was really into it.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #760 on:** January 22, 2013, 07:54:58 AM »

Josh always looks into it, doesn't matter the song or how they play it!

Nick · « **Reply #761 on:** January 23, 2013, 07:58:39 AM »

Just stopping by to say that In Keeping Secrets is better than I've given it credit for over the years, but still not on the same level as the Apollo albums or Ascension.

That said Second Stage is still a good at best album.

Yeah, having just got into their music a bit more, I definitely agree with this. It is by far my least favorite so far.

Zantera · « **Reply #765 on:** January 23, 2013, 02:37:46 PM »

Ascension hasn't clicked for me. I'd say Descension is much better.

Heretic · « **Reply #766 on:** January 23, 2013, 02:58:24 PM »

Jimmy I love you and all but how can you love Descension and not Ascension?! They're so similar. I have faith though. Keep on keepin' on.

You just had to ruined it at the end, didn't you?

Came in here to say the same thing... not that there's anything wrong with Ascension.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #769 on:** January 23, 2013, 06:14:54 PM »

I'm still torn and can't decide. I'm leaning more towards Ascension though.
