Yep, agree fully.....excellent comparison.  Josh gives Coheed that sound, as did Mike and Jeremy Taggart's unique drumming on the first four OLP albums.  From what I remember back in the day, it was Bob Rock that suggested the change to Jeremy's drumming on subsequent records beginning with Gravity to a "less is more" style which made him sound like every other boring rock drummer to some extent.

Bob Rock killed this band along with Mike Turner's departure.  Anything after Spiritual Machines is exactly as you mentioned, poppy and overly produced with intent to hit the mainstream market and appeal to the masses.

I scored two tickets for the HOB show in NOLA!!  Super stoked after missing out on the Ryman show.

I emailed the Cake webstore a month ago asking if they would be selling this on or after RSD. They said that 1000 copies were available to record shops and a limited amount would be available to Cake mailing list subscribers the day after RSD.  Based on the widespread publication of the "900" qty for record stores, I would guess that the Cake webstore would have the other 100 copies if their numbers were correct.  Hope this helps. 
 
The place I frequent has confirmed that they have 1 copy.  They tried ordering 15.  I am trying to determine what time to arrive.
