Coheed & Cambria - Vaxis Act III: The Father of Make Believe (March 14, 2025) Album • Page 10

The top 2 comments on the summer tour announcement are killing me.

 

And yet I got yelled at in that one TBS new post for pointing out what everyone knows

 

It’s crazy cuz I forget this website has news post comments cuz it didn’t starting out and I just kinda stuck to the forums

 

I'm glad there's no dates super close to me, because I really don't care for TBS.

 

don't love that new song, kinda feels like Pavilion without the... actual emotional texture that makes that song work

 

A little autotune or other modern flourishes here and there vs. totally dismantling your sound is just not the same thing in my book. Coheed are still around and headlining tours precisely because they very consistently release very consistent sounding (and often even structurally similar) records with only minute variations - not knocking them, they're just very much settled into what they do.

 

having heard the album … I disagree?

They absolutely still experiment.

 

This is a very weird band to claim to be stagnant musically, they very clearly mix things up often and consistently

 

Your first point of comparison for describing the new Coheed album was...the previous Coheed album. "Coheed mainly does their thing with some studio bells and whistles thrown in (and that's fine and here's why)" shouldn't be that controversial an opinion.

 

Which also … experimented?

 

right, but not Foxing level experimentation. you can hear a difference, right?

 

Possibly same

 

Gonna be in town that Thursday-Monday. Any recs on food/things to do?

 

Have you been before? Hockey hall of fame is always cool. Same with the distillery district. For food, sneaky dees is a great, historic dive bar with great wings etc. Matty matheson’s burger joint matty’s patty’s is delicious too

 

Only been once for two days and didn’t get to do much. Appreciate it!

 

You're moving the goalposts from your original post, which looped TBS and Coheed together and said they were both many years into the opposite of an experimental phase. No one said they were as experimental as foxing's last album was.

 

why cant folks just simply enjoy something

 

this website doesn’t work like that sean

 

Have to say this new coheed song feels like the most I’ve liked a coheed song in a minute.

 

It’s an interesting take. I think out of nearly all the scene bands from the early 2000’s that are still kicking, Coheed seems to experiment more and somehow still is putting out some of their best material. Blind side Sonny, while not my fav, is nothing like they’ve done before.

 

Yeah on a shortlist of the most unique songs in their discog, even though it's not my favorite. Evagria and Number City are the other two that immediately come to mind. Man, Afterman rules.

 

Someone hasn't listened to 152 and it shows. Easily the most TBS has ever experimented on record.

 

Didn't like it as much as I hoped...but TBS takes relatively big swings throughout their discog. Pretty similar to how C&C experiment.

 

"relatively big swings" lol what does that even mean

guys throwing in a synth for a song or two is hardly "experimentation" it's called recording in a studio
