Coheed & Cambria - Vaxis Act III: The Father of Make Believe (March 14, 2025) Album • Page 4

new song is very fun

honestly sounds more like what a third afterman album would sound like to me rather than the NWFT comparisons I've seen

 

New song rules

 

Totally agreed with you, a lot of prog vocalists are more acquired tastes for me, but the bands you listed are also some where I’ve grown to really love the vocals… but also the instrumentals are often the highlight for me too.

 

Coheed is really picking up the pace with these 2 singles. Sonny is 170bpm and Searching is 172bpm. When was the last time they had 2 songs that fast on an album? Feels like it's been awhile

 

What a whacky box set. Had to get one.

 

Just listened to both singles for the first time

Wow how on earth do some people not like Blind Side Sonny???? Coheed going full on punk rock is fuckin sick, and I love Claudio going a bit harsher with his voice on the verses. What a great song!

Searching for Tomorrow is definitely the safer, more standard Coheed like others have said which is still also great!

 

Agree with this.

 

After hearing it on a bit louder volume a few times in the car, I LOVE the new single. I retract my concerns about the production.

 

Right?!

 

Yea, it passes the car test.

 

Listened like 40 times yesterday.

 

I don’t enjoy blind side Sonny much but searching for tomorrow is classic top tier coheed

 

Yeah unfortunately Blind Side Sunny still doesn’t work for me after revisiting it alongside Searching for Tomorrow

 

I’m 99% sure it’s gonna sound better in the full context of the album

 

Searching for Tomorrow feels like a sequel to Gravemakers & Gunslingers yesssss

 

But it seems like from the two singles we’ve got so far, TFoMB is going to be one of their “heaviest” and most punk influenced records. Fucking bring it

 

Somehow it hit me last night, and it's kind of surprising no one here has said it yet: Searching for Tomorrow feels VERY Comatose.

 

yea it’s in the wheelhouse

 

It definitely feels like a continuation of Vaxis II as a whole but I think there’s something different here too.

 

I would be mad if this was the first image that came up of my band on Google

 

It’s Coheed and they have pretty consistently delivered something fresh each time. Does anyone else feel really into the new song when it comes out, listens back to the old or even last record and feel like it’s just not enjoyable? I’ve really only felt this way about this band. Seeing them play live is a whole different thing, I love hearing all the old and new stuff. It’s just a weird sensation I’ve had that seems to only happen with this band, for me.

 

They’ve done this on everything since Afterman- CD boxset first and vinyl announcement later, it’s really fucking annoying!

 

I don’t share that at all lol

 

Can't say that's ever happened in my entire life haha

 

Yea that’s a no from me
