Coheed and Cambria - Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind (June 24, 2022) Album • Page 17

Checked the leak out, way too mushy sounding for my tastes. No thank you. The wait continues

 

128? What is this, 2003?

 

Shit. The new song is so good.

 

First half of this thing is just banger after banger.

that might be my least favorite so far lol.

 

a fucking love a disappearing act

 

Great year

 

Its like a 2000's dance club anthem and I love it.

 

This is everything I want in a Coheed record as a fan right now

 

all aboard room for everyone

 

Also preordered the vinyl

this show in July is going to be the greatest show ever

 

This is a lot to take in, and is challenging as a fan for the first time in a long time. As much as I loved Vaxis, that one felt like them really nailing the sound they were working towards since YOTBR. This, on the other hand, is a huge step forward.

 

Completely agree. Vaxis I felt like a celebration of everything they’ve done up to that point. This is treading new ground for the first time in a while.

 

Thrice, Coheed and Touche Amore touring together later this year in the UK and Europe and I am in pieces, best lineup I’ve ever seen oh my god

 

Damn you guys eating. I’m personally happier with DGD but can’t argue with that

 

The first half stretch of Beautiful Loser->Love Murder One is so so good.
Specifically A Disappearing Act->Love Murder one....just inject in my veins over and over again. What a blast.

That said, As much as I like this album, I'm hoping the next one is more Vaxis I than Vaxis II. I think thats them at their best.

 

Yeah I do feel like Blood through Our Love is the breather portion of the album, but that’s just because everything from Beautiful Losers to Love Murder One hits so hard. It’s a welcome break though, especially before the last 3 tracks.

 

*chooses 'Beautiful Losers" as the screenshot to rub the dirt in our face.

 

Minor quibble for those who have heard: Anyone think Cut the Chord and Ladders should be swapped in the track sequencing?

 

Coheed and Touche was not a lineup I knew I needed. Sucks I'm not over there.

 

Coheed, Moving Mountains, and Pianos Become the Teeth might be my favorite lineup I've seen them with. That lineup is similarly good.

 

First time I saw them was with Between the Buried and Me and Russian Circles and that's still the best lineup I've seen live.

 

I don’t think those should be swapped but think Beautiful Losers should come after Shoulder, rather than being track 2

I’m getting Marianas Trench vibes from this record lol. Certainly more theatrical than before

 

Ah yeah I saw that lineup too, it was awesome. Whoever helps them with openers has a knack for picking incredible bands.

 

Yeah i do like BL the song but either comotose or shoulder i think would fare better as the de facto opener.

 

My favorite Coheed lineup I've seen was with Dredg, mewithoutYou, and The Blood Brothers.
