Coheed and Cambria - Vaxis - Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures (October 5, 2018) Album • Page 25

I love the absolute shit out of "True Ugly"

 

josh kills it in the chorus of it walks among us

 

oh man oh man oh man oh man

guitar solo in lucky stars

oh man there it is

oh man

 

Man I haven’t had a musical holy shit moment in awhile but 5 tracks in, this is holy shit level Coheed, the songwriting is so dense and layered, top notch instrumentation, I didn’t expect anything nearly this good and am blown away right now. This could rival their best albums but with more of a rock tinge.

 

just finished

wow

they did it

hot take: this is top tier coheed

needs more listens and time for fully fleshed out thoughts, but fam, they did it

 

halfway through first listen... still processing toys through queen of the dark, it's much darker and moodier than i expected. holy shit true ugly, into love protocol is incredible. can't wait to see what the second half has in store...

 

Toys. Holy shit.

 

Goddamnit. I hit "The Gutter" again on the listen and it's still my favorite song on here.

 

are the last two lines of this post lyrics from one of the songs or

 

God I hope not

 

the gutter into all on fire is the highlight of the second half, lucky stars is a cool outro but i do miss having a long weird epic song as the ending (something more 2113-ish). a lot to digest here, can't wait to hear it in 320! first impression is it's a very solid record and although the overall vibe is a bit more tame than i expected, there's some cool experimentation and enough wild moments to keep it interesting!

 

This leak most certainly does sound like shit for anyone on the fence, but going for it anyway

 

Toys intro is amazing but a little unsure on the rest of it... Black Sunday has to be one of the most interesting and GA1/IKS worthy things they've put out in forever, though.

 

KL has 320 version, dunno how long ago that was put up. Going through it now.

 

Is it a transcode? Then I’ll have descended into the 7th circle of hell

 

KL now has a legit FLAC that sounds perfect, and I assume the 320 is sourced from that

 

damn, this FLAC sounds incredible, i'm enjoying my second listen a lot more with this better quality!

 

heeeere we go, gonna make a big post with thoughts on every track

 

Ready your tits

 

There are just enough super experimental, dark, space prog tracks on here that bring back the Willing Wells vibe to drive me nuts that they won't just go all in and explore that territory for a whole album. First impression is that Black Sunday, Queen, and It Walks are all among the top 5 post-GA1 songs

 

oh wow Queen of the Dark is a standout for me

 

Black Sunday is the baby of Hollywood and Fuel for the Feeding End. I dig it.

 

Queen of the Dark freaking rules, totally here for this album so far.

 

Man you guys are making Friday feel so far
