Coheed & Cambria Band • Page 52

I love Mother May I, but "I'll leave the light off, to turn your mother on" is not good.

 

The Willing Wells >

 

Each successive part of Willing Well I is better than the last, which fucking owns

 

IKS just baaaaarely edges out GA:IV for my top spot, but I can abide any combo of SSTB, IKS, and GA:IV as the top 3.

What I can't live with is considering the Afterman stuff as good as any of those, which seems to be a thing here.

 

Gravity's Union is up there with some of their best stuff. So is Number City and maybe a couple others. As a whole, it falls well below any of their first three albums for me.

 

I think I like Afterman as a whole more than SSTB.

 

I'm working in fashion right now and Atlas came up as a child influencer

 

that's pretty hilarious actually. mostly Chondra's doing, I imagine.

also the word "influencer" makes the skin crawl right off my bones

 

Yeah, not a fan of the term either, but it's basically been ingrained in my brain.

It's also funny because my boss who brought him up had no idea who Coheed was. They just knew the kid.

 

He doesn't hate it, he just (now) thinks it didn't fit on the record.

 

I don't think there is a single song off of either IKS or GA1 that I don't like tbh

 

2nd Stage = IKS > everything else by 1000 miles

 

I'd have to go with In Keeping Secrets as my favorite, just above Second Stage. Second Stage was the first Coheed album I heard, but IKS was the one that made me fall completely in love.

 

I bought IKS, then SSTB, but it was the Live at Starland Ballroom that sealed the deal that they were my favorite band. GA confirmed that, and they've been my favorite band ever since then.

 

I go through phases where I like my rock music a little stranger such as Mars Volta, Coheed, Mastodon, Circa Survive, MwY, etc., and where I like it way more straight forward like TBS, Bayside, Anti-Flag. Hoping this will be as big for me as Ascension and Descension were for me.

 

I went to get a burrito and the restaurant was playing Second Stage, got a little too excited

 

Jamming the Aftermen today. the chorus to Evagria is one of my favorite choruses of all time, if only because the list of people who would write a chorus like that is Claudio and no one else

 

Has anyone ever read the Amory Wars graphic novels? I was re-reading the plots for each record and I forgot how wild this story gets in Good Apollo V1.

 

I tried the comics but found them to be kind of a slog :(

 

Ahh man, that's a bummer to hear.

 

I get the whole writer thing from Claudio's life at that point, but I kind of hate that introduction into the story.

 

It gets kind of hard to follow. Does the writer have control over Claudio the character or does the character still have control over his own destiny? I feel like if I read the comics I'd get a better idea than from the plot synopsis. Either way, it is a little out there and takes away from the story in the first two albums.

Though I do love the idea of a guy hallucinating that his 10 speed bike is a demon and arguing with it.

 

If I remember correctly, the Writing Writer is just a dude who got cheated on, and creates a story about it, and that is story is the KBI and all of those characters, and the worlds merge somehow and he's seen as their god.

 

Yea, that's what I thought. To me, that makes the KBI story itself a little less endearing. The music is still awesome as all hell though.

 

Wasn't it announced that there was going to be a movie adaptation a while back? I'm guessing that fell through. I could totally see it being picked up as a series though.

Edit: Totally was, with Marky Mark as a producer haha.
