Derek™ Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 True. Song sucks. Poster above you was just quoting the song though as a joke I'm pretty sure. Is that an actual lyric from the song? Wow. And touché. Claudio's digging pretty deep, eh? I was an avid Coheed fanboy back in the day, but this is tough to digest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 What if the new record is secretly, conceptually just balls? Like, the band is writing a concept album where they exist in an alternate universe where they've lost all ability to write engaging lyrics or instrumental passages. The graphic novel could just be Claudio and gang laughing profusely for 80 panels, with a final shot of them carrying money bags into a bank. Just let it sink in.

I was an avid Coheed fanboy back in the day, but this is tough to digest. Yeah, it is unfortunately. (a big part of the reason I called the lyrics sophomoric earlier). The song is pure garbage, and this coming from a dude who, up through GA:1, Coheed was his favorite band. I saw them 5 or 6 times in high school, had a signed first edition of Amory Wars comic, all that shit. It's a real bummer. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throughbeingcruel Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I thought that was their best song since 2007, so apparently I'm a child. Oh well, they couldn't do worse than YOTBR or Ascension. Klefki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannibal Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The song's not terrible, but it's not good either. It's especially odd outside of a concept or story, as this kind of song from the other albums always seemed more about being a part of the story telling as opposed to being a great Coheed song.

There's no point in forcing yourself to feel one way or another about it – I personally (probably) won't even check this release out, but I don't feel the need to piss on anyone's parade. I'm hyped for those who are hyped, and I'm eager to read opinions - good or bad - whenever everyone gets a chance to sit down with it. throwgncpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I am just ready to hear all of the tracks. I know they won't tell a story, but the opening and closing of the single feels like they are shifting between tracks. The closing bit definitely sounds like something I want to hear. The new single is not my favorite Coheed track, but I do like it for what it is. It gets stuck in my head for hours. I also really like that this album will allow them to release some singles with possible b-sides that we only have on MP3/ CD. I'm looking at you "Deranged" Coast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'll echo Derek in saying that if your stoked I'm excited for you. I'm not trying to change anyone's minds about this, I just don't like it. Everyone is welcome to their opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yep. They'll probably put up preorders on the 10th with the new single. If they are on the ball, this shit is already ordered. However I have a feeling that the vinyl won't arrive in time for Christmas. Luckily I get paid Friday haha Fowty Dollaz and THE_James_Champ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at you "Deranged"agreed with the catchiness, its been in my head for a couple of days now. I too fell off once NWFT came out, but this is the first of their material in years to get me excited. I'm excited its not a concept album as some of that stuff deterred me as well. That being said I saw them in 2013 with BTBAM and they still put on a fantastic show. I hadn't seen them since they were touring for SSTB so it was exciting to hear more of their catalog live.

tj187 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Not that into the new song but still really excited for the new album. All of their newer albums have had 1 or 2 more poppy songs so I'm not worried...yet clerk3745 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't seen them since they were touring for SSTB so it was exciting to hear more of their catalog live. LITERALLY EXACTLY what happened with me. I saw them open for the Used in 2002 (or 2003?) prior to IKS being released. I didn't have the opportunity to see them live again until Radio City Music Hall. I never stopped loving them, but I have my faves and least faves. It doesn't matter if this entire album is shit (it won't be), I will never NOT be a Coca fanboy in some way or another. I showed my Amory Wars collection to one of my nerdy comicbook friends, to which he replied "what's it like to be insane?" My point is if I hate this LP, I'll still love Coheed. clerk3745 and THE_James_Champ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxsilence Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Everyone needs to remember that every Coheed album HAS to have that one or two pop songs that are radio-ready. This is that song, and their hype song. It's the reason it was released so early, to generate radio and pop-culture hype for Coheed; it's a smart move. This is their "Blood Red Summer" of the album I hope. I like the song, it's not my favorite, but it reminds me a lot of Atlas. And the ending musical part leads me to believe the song after this is dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 You mean "A Favor House Atlantic"? Cuz that was easily the poppiest song off IKS, and also the first single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that, since they have children now, they will do an entire album of child-based tracks. "Mailtime," "Let It Go," and "Dora the Explorer Medley"- I can hear Claudio now: "Swiiii-high-per...SWIPER...NOOOO-OOOO-OOO SWI-HIGH-PIIIIIING! backpack-BAAAAAAA-AAAA-CK PAAAAAACK!" and the guitar in "Let It Go" would be epic! jeremysi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a great thing in my opinion. Claudio has some damn good pop sensibilities. Currently listening to Ten Speed actually. If they wouldn't have stuck to the concept, they easily could've written albums worth of great pop hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In rural Indiana in 2004, if anyone you knew was into underground music, you were all friends solely based on that fact. We had to stick together.

I went to an ultra-conservative mormon schools, so those of us 20 our of 3000 that weren't mormon banded to together, and were into the underground music, and "prided" ourselves on being into things the rest of the high school clique wasn't. So when all of the sudden Coheed blew up and people we hated for excluding us for being different were into our music, that was hard for teenage me to handle haha.

Coheed, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, and a whole slew of others eventually made their way into the ears of the popular kids my senior year. They started coming to school proclaiming "Have you heard Louder Now?!?" And at the time I was like "Yeah, it's their worst fucking record. Listen to the old shit, Blake."
