He knows that he will get his money on Ebay but decided to indulge those who supported the raffle. There is something wrong with this? Why did I bring up the charity? Because there was clearly a debate about the link between raffles and charities. My post was not at all directed at you and I'm sorry if using the word "your" caused any confusion as you seem to be taking my point personally. It was meant to be a general post contributing to the discussion. I apologize for that. I singled out that one thing because it was the sketchiest thing I noticed. I'm only explaining this because you seemed interested in the reason that I did so. I just went back and read some posts in this thread, including all of yours...Maybe you should start a new thread if you want to keep preaching? Also, you don't even like Coheed so you aren't contributing much in this particular thread.

I don't think it's fair to hate him for selling the record in a raffle format. It's a fun idea and it gives somebody like me the chance to pay $5 for a chance to own this great record. In the original thread, many members were behind the idea. I also don't think it's fair to try to make somebody guilty for simply making money. Obviously he is trying to receive money for the record and why shouldn't he? As far as charitable contributions go, many people privately contribute to charities of their choice so don't be a jerk if somebody isn't running a raffle and giving the proceeds to your favorite charity. The only thing that I don't like is seeing that one of the people that bought 10 tickets just joined basically when the raffle idea came about...sketchy

Wahoo! This will be fun - at least for the OP and whoever wins

Same

That is beautiful!

Greasy

I almost did that too but that Inevitable & I variant is what got me haha

In

I did this and subsequently went for the bundle

They didn't actually call her name...and also said that they would not disrupt her privacy.

TLDR...I'm not trying to buy $575,000 worth of video games. Still sketchy to have that many video games...

So sketchy...dude has zero feedback too haha

Great record and great promo!

No World for Tomorrow and Year of The Black Rainbow have both grown on me over time but they are still my two least favorite Coheed albums. Reading the Year of the Black Rainbow definitely made me enjoy the album a lot more. I've been a Coheed fan for over 10 years and I think The Afterman is my new favorite piece of work by them - especially the Descension half. I definitely recommend giving them another chance!

I didn't say I hate it and it definitely might grow on me. I don't think it will much though - I'm just not a fan of that chorus (i.e. the way it's sung/delivered). That riff 12 seconds in had a little Brendan Rivera "Sail Away" to it though don't you think? I enjoyed that!

"Nothing Lasts Forever" is now my least favorite Transit song

same here

Sweet - I'll take third!

I thought I had this on vinyl but I can't find it! I did some promo! I wish I had Kim Kardashian pull on social media because this record is great. http://i50.tinypic.com/vdh0cw.jpg

How is that possible? From what I've seen, 99% of the fans are enjoying Descension more than Ascension...including me!

I guess they just aren't your style and you're obviously not the only one who feels that way here. I enjoyed their 2009 album though so I'm glad they're still around.

As greasy as this all is, there is a reason they have received high praise...You may be shocked to learn but 3EB is actually a good band!

No Ocean is a hidden gem and I can't wait to see Brendan perform some of these songs tonight in White Plains! I'll definitely be singing along.
