Im not riding my high horse.

They were just better on the first album.

I like all the albums they all have ups and downs, sstb just has lots of ups.

Man it's just their first album is way better. The sound is more fresh and original. On the following album they sound quite like lots of bands I've heard before, maybe with a little distinctive sound on the vocals and also the production on IKSOSE is unnatural. Bass lines for example sound much better on the first album, clean guitars too, and Claudio's vocals sound much better in SSTB ... Still, as I said, there are some amazing songs on their 2nd album, but their first had no bad/mediocre songs.

[B]

ive been trying to get back into these guys lately

[TMA]

So apparently Chris Pennie is the new drummer for CoCa. What happened to Josh?

Since nobody answered this, I will.

Right when the band was about to start touring this past fall, Josh Eppard and Michael Todd both left the band (left, not booted out). Apparently, there had always been some tension with those two when it came to going on tour because they hated being away from their friends and family for such long periods of time. It's pretty understandable in some ways, but not the best choice to make over all, imo.
So Chris Pennie filled in on drums and some other dude who I don't remember the name of filled in on bass for the time being.
However, just days before the band went into the studio to record their upcoming album, Michael Todd decided that being gone from time to time was worth being in the band, and rejoined.
Josh Eppard is still gone, and... I haven't heard much about him since.
My guess is that he'll now be putting more and more focus on his Hip-Hop project, Weerd Science.

Dude, I don't think anybody has said that they were only good on their first album, because we all know that's not true. They've always been good. Even on the first Good Apollo Album, they kicked ***, despite thier total change in direction.
We're just saying that they were at their best on SSTB. And I have to say that I fully agree.
But this doesn't mean I think they've gotten any worse over time.
Actually, in my honest opinion, the order I put the three albums in so far would have to be:
1. Second Stage Turbine Blade
2. Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV; Volume 1: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness
3. In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3

[TMA]

I'm not trying to troll but it just amazes me that the C&C fad isn't over yet. It boggles my mind.

You my nig, Cob.

Except that it's not a "fad".
People like what they like.
We don't listen to Coheed because it's "popular" or because it would somehow make us cool.
We listen to them because we actually like them.

[RetiredAt21]

Band sucks. End of story.

[Concubine]

Band sucks. End of story.

nah

[DJ Ducksauce]

Justin(ha, my name too): You have your opinion, and if you don't like the band, don't come in here and talk crap about them. Let us wallow in our own blind bliss.

[DFelon204409]

Coheed is so lucky in some ways. They essentially dropped their bomb guitarist and bassist and got lame replacements, but, they still have Claudio and now Chris Pennie who is just so ridiculous. Now if Pennie would just impose some of his technicality on the rest of the band they'd be a whole lot more interesting.

[neverender]

yeah pennie has talent but i doubt he'll fit into the band. I hope his "try too hard" drumming doesnt affect the basslines too much either :(

[Riziger]

i think eventually he'll be good for the band tho. haven't really listened to DEP but i've heard that he's technical?

very looking forward to GA2

[cobert]

The basslines (like almost everything else in the band) have been buttcrack since SSTB.

[Sound Boy]

they got Taylor Hawkings from foo fighters on drums for the new album. but still are gonna use Pennie for the live shows.

and they have some good bass lines but they just get mixed back

[Fish]

so anyone see them at warped tour? im going this saturday, should be good

[Holyed]

New song is up on their myspace page.

I love it, along with anything else they've done.

Yay, I heard it from the warped tour videos, but the real version makes it a lot better, naturally.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Not bad. Still has a lot of that GA feel and the overproduced sound it had in GA as well.

I'm going to get my hopes up a little for this album. Just a little.

[neverender]

The basslines (like almost everything else in the band) have been buttcrack since SSTB.

the basslines are awesome on all 3 albums imo..

do u play an instrument?

[Holyed]

yeah pennie has talent but i doubt he'll fit into the band. I hope his "try too hard" drumming doesnt affect the basslines too much either :(

It'll be interesting to hear how much he alters the recorded drums,
especially as Taylor is much more a typical rock drummer - i've already noticed this on the new single.

One thing Josh was good at was really making the drums sound good when they played live, I hope that isn't missed.

[Riziger]

nooo, cant listen to the song cos myspace dosnt work for me.... looking to the album!

[cobert]

Yeah I wont be getting this.


the basslines are awesome on all 3 albums imo..

do u play an instrument?

Bass.

[neverender]

Bass.

Well then I guess you realise there really isn't much difference in the way he constructs his basslines from the 3 albums! All fun to listen to and play and in a similar vein.

Yeah it will be interesting, I really think Josh will be missed to be honest.

It does seem strange theyre using different drummers for live/studio instead of getting a permanent member of the band... anyone know why theyre doing it that way? :confused:

[cobert]

They might have been similar, but in SSTB it was anything on IKSOSE (not so much on GA) but waaaaay more creative.

Seriously, the bass towards the end of Hearshot Kid Disaster (in the breakdownish part) is still so fun to play, same with the intro to Time Consumer.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Chris Pennie is their permanent drummer.

[neverender]

why is he not doing the studio work then?

eta: or was taylor hawkins just playing for that album to fill in and now hes totally gone?

[Holyed]

why is he not doing the studio work then?

eta: or was taylor hawkins just playing for that album to fill in and now hes totally gone?

I think they wanted to get the album tracks down asap, and Pennie wasn't quite ready to at that time or something, still involved with DEP perhaps?

Either way, it's Pennie all the way now.

[rustysurf84]

This whole drummer saga is pretty nuts. I'm looking forward to the new album, and Claudio's quote about the songs being more in the vein of Welcome Home makes me very happy :)

fair play, i enjoy the bass on all albums though. the bridge bass bit near the end of tenspeed is sooo good to play yet really simple :D mic is a legend!

As for the new song on their myspace, I wasn't sure about it after the first couple listens but I love it now, definately excited about the new album! :thumb:

[Fish]

yes the new song was so good live! And everyone was into to it, its good to see Mic on stage with them still. Im so pumped to hear more from them.

[RetiredAt21]

I seriously can't believe people still to this day talk about this band.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Because people like them.

[reidster90]

The band is ok. But if I want prog with hi voices I'll listen to Rush

[Sound Boy]

but he changes the pitch of his voice
but if you actually listen to the music you see why its such a good band

[Fish]

so theyre new merch is sweet. ;|

[cobert]

so theyre new merch is sweet. ;|


So they are new merch is sweet.

<_<

[Fish]

so their new merch is sweet. ;|

[static]

Big bump? Yeah.


Well anyways, what's the deal with the new members? I know Pennie is playing with them, but Taylor did the studio records, but do they still have Mic Todd with them?

[Holyed]

Big bump? Yeah.


Well anyways, what's the deal with the new members? I know Pennie is playing with them, but Taylor did the studio records, but do they still have Mic Todd with them?

Chris Pennie is their official drummer now, touring etc. Taylor just recorded the new album as a one off, as I don't think Pennie was avaliable or something. And yeah, thankfully Mic is back playing with them.

Ahhh, i'm so excited for the end of next month, I wish it'd come sooner.

[Livewire]

I think they're okay. His voice gets kind of annoying after a while.

[static]

I really love them, and I've been binging their music since early August.


Has it leaked yet?

[Riziger]

haha even if it leaked i'd wait for the album to come....

can't wait. lotsa albums i'm waiting for end of the year/early next year

[static]

So would I, just wondering though.


So much is coming out for me this next months.

[Spiritofmosa]

oh wow , i was expecting this thread to be at the rock and metal side. Hi everybody, cant wait for the new c&c album.

[Kif]

The new album kicks the crap out of Good Apollo I.

[Otisbum]

The new album kicks the crap out of Good Apollo I. Sweet.

The only link I found was down. :(

[Kif]

Check your rep.

[B]

can i check my rep too please :)

or just post it here and delete in a couple minutes

[Kif]

http://community.livejournal.com/leakage_channel

Might want to bookmark this link as well.

[B]

Might want to bookmark this link as well.

sweet thanks theres some stuff on there ive been meaning to pick up

[Kif]

Yeah, it's a solid blog for new stuff :)

[DJ Ducksauce]

Thanks Kif. :)

[Sound Boy]

i really REALLY like this new album

track 2 and 4 are my favorite so far

[DJ Ducksauce]

Is it supposed to be edited?

Oh well, I'll just get it again on the 23rd.

And this album is great. I'm so glad I wasn't let down. Just about to hit the last track.

[Kif]

Yeah it's the clean version sadly, but it's still awesome.

[Otisbum]

I'm not quite sure what to think of it the first run through.

On one hand, the last 5 group of tracks is great, as was with The Willing Well on GA1, but I don't really think this is better just yet.

Maybe it'll grow on me, but for now, my Thrice copy came in a day early. :)

[DJ Ducksauce]

It's not all filler in the middle like GA one was imo.

[Otisbum]

A couple scattered songs in GA1 were mediocre, but I think a majority of the songs were great.

But I see what you mean with some of the middle songs. The Lying Lies and Once Upon Your Dead Body were kinda dull.

[Gonads]

Is Coheed and Cambria really pop punk?:confused: I've heard them called metal many times but why are they pop punk here?

[DJ Ducksauce]

Nah, just more people in Pop-Punk like them compared to the R&M folks.

[Gonads]

I think's it's stupid, they are more rock than punk.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Um, didn't I just say they have more fans that post in the pp forum than in R&M. They just get criticized there for the main part.

[Gonads]

Yeah I just misunderstood you.

[Kif]

Make a Coheed thread in R&M and tell us how it goes ;)

[DJ Ducksauce]

Yeah I just misunderstood you.

Alright.

Yeah, there were a few CoCa threads in R&M in previous years that weren't very fun. Basically everyone telling Claudio to grow a nut sack.

[B]

lol WHER AR THA BROOTAL GROWLZ THIS IZNT METUL

\m/

HE SOUNDZ LIK WHEN I ET MY SISTR

[lunchforthesky]

Ironic seen as Coheed are basically Dragonforce-lite nowadays.

I preferred them when they were a cheesy pop punk/prog rock crossover not an even cheesier pop punk/power metal crossover.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

The two songs they've released and the title track are the best in my opinion.

I'm just thanking christ that it's shorter than GA:I which was a ridiculous length. I cannot sit through the entirety of GA:I without getting bored, it's just too long tbh.

[Riziger]

ya'll listening to the leak i presume....

i wanted to dl it but i think i'll just wait till the cd comes out.

[ddrfreak62]

I hope a ton of you all actually buy the cd like me. I listened to the leak and the album is awesome.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

I'll buy it once I have money and once it actually gets to Australia.


So in a few years.

[encmetalhead]

sounds great so far

[myassitches]

I'll buy it once I have money and once it actually gets to Australia.


So in a few years.

http://www.sonybmg.com.au/cd/comingSoon.do?ptId=3&stId=0

i think the album will be good, but not as good as in keeping secrets. here's an interview. it previews four songs. the last one sounds so much like pink floyd.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dltewFmtr34

[myassitches]

i just listened to the first half of no world for tomorrow. i like it so far. i'm just wondering why it didn't start out with the little piano thing that always plays. (Second Stage Turbine Blade, The Ring in Return, Keeping the Blade)

[DJ Ducksauce]

Feathers is a great catchy song.

It seems like it would have been the single for the album rather than The Running Free.

[Iluvatar]

It didnt start out with a piano piece I think because it isn't really a seperate part of the story, it falls in line concept wise with Volume 1.

Album is great, Feathers, the title track, The End Complete and the Road and the Damned are the best songs.

[static]

The End Chapter is brilliant.


The End Complete and the Road and the Damned are the best songs.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Yeah, I'm digging the whole thing, but The End Chapter is pretty great.

Feathers has been in my head all day long. I like how old themes arise every now and then.

Has anyone gotten the Armory Wars comics? Better than the first SSTB ones?

[static]

No, but I really want to pick them up.



This album is growing on me. It hasn't grabbed me immediately like Good Apollo I and IKSOSE:3 did.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I tried to get into GA I as a whole, but only a few songs appealed to me. Mainly those in the beginning and the end.

IKSSE:3 was my favorite album for almost I year I'd say. It's on right now actually.

[static]

The Willing Well Parts I and II are some of my favorite songs ever.

[neverender]

i bought the new album a few days ago, definately good!

the title track, mother superior and the last track stand out for me, though all the songs are really likeable... some nice solos and driving bass.

One thing I miss a little is the lack of melodic interludes... its hard to explain, i mean like the bits in the willing well III and faint of hearts and ten speed... those bits are the best of coheed IMO.

the album is definately on par with the others though, its a little more technical and different, but the production is good, as long as you have a decent sub this album can be awesome :D

[hey, you're not cory!]

So, the new album falls short of their first two, but I'd say it's definitely a step up from Good Apollo Volume 1.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I'm not sure as to where to place it with SSTB and IKS yet.

GAI<others for sure though.

So Bag Online Adventures should be the next CD right? The prequel or whatever?

Oh, and does anyone have the Explicit version of GAII? All the torrents I'm seeing are clean.

[B]

SSTB>IKS>new disc>GA

imo

[Holyed]

So far i'm going with IKSOSE > SSTB > NWFT > GA

I heard like 4 of the songs before I got the cd (which I waited for,) which has kind of ruined it a bit for me, as I rinsed those songs, so only really have 9 new ones to listen too. I love this album already though, although I was hoping the Fall Of House Atlantic, would be a song similar to House Atlantic, but oh well. Its confidently affirmed me of why they are by far my favourite band.

Oh, also, I got up at 9am this morning to get presale tickets for the Brixton show in February. Anyone else coming, or planning on coming?

[Sound Boy]

i've had this album for a week and a half and its been the only one i can listen to...sooooo good

[thedeadwalk!]

I'm really digging Claudio's singing in Mother Superior. The music's okay throughout the CD, but I've especially been liking the singing. He seems to go all over the place more often.

[Gonads]

Ok I'm coming out of the closet, I like Coheed and Cambria, they are my #1 guilty pleasure, I own all of the albums except the new one which I'm afraid to give a chance because I heard the single and it sounded like 80's butt rock.

[DJ Ducksauce]

The new one kick's GAVI's butt tbh.

[Iluvatar]

New album is really good.

[Riziger]

I really need the new album but i'm poor atm.

I might go pick it up tmr. Is there like a DVD special edition out now or something? Heard about something liek that.

[Pete]

all coheed sounds like 80's butt rock though

[Iluvatar]

Yeah there is a dvd deluxe edition. Its really only worth it for the acoustic demos it comes with, the dvd stuff it has is pretty standard.

[Gonads]

The Second Stage Turbine Blade is the best C&C album and I love the bonus tracks and the science fiction storyline.

[Iluvatar]

"Elf Tower, NM" one of those bonus tracks is the best Co&Ca song period.

[hey, you're not cory!]

"Elf Tower" Meh.

[Fish]

Elf Tower is sick. The new album is meh, nothing will be as good as SSTB or IKSOSE. It just won't, but I still love them. I saw them last month and they played Junesong Provision, best part of the night, by far.

[JerrySanders]

SSTB is the best album imo

[DJ Ducksauce]

Definitely.

Followed by IKS, then GAVII and GAVI.

[Riziger]

Still havent gotten GAII.... maybe i should just DL it now.

[evilmegaman]

Definitely.

Followed by IKS, then GAVII and GAVI.



best list ever. that's the way it should be.


I wonder how many people have fondled claudio's hair?

[B]

Definitely.

Followed by IKS, then GAVII and GAVI.

yeahh ive been saying this forever haha

gav1 sucks.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Not all of the songs, but as a whole, its not that great. The overproduction kinda killed it.

[MoonlightBleeding]

Why the F*)# is Coheed pop-punk?

[Iluvatar]

Because it isn't metal enough for the retards in R&M.

[MoonlightBleeding]

Oh interesting.

[evilmegaman]

http://meetthefeathers.com/


has anyone seen this? these guys are so weird...

[B]

i saw claudios solo album at a record store the other day.

didnt know it was out.

[DJ Ducksauce]

New video for Feathers.

http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?artist=1241952&vid=205929



Sweeney Todd anyone?

[TimJim]

i love this band <3

[Fuzzy]

i saw claudios solo album at a record store the other day.

didnt know it was out.

Yeah, My Brother's Blood Machine has been out since Halloween '06

[B]

whatt the prize fighter inferno one?

ive never seen it before. weird.

[2muchket!]

When it comes to stuff like Co & Ca I tend to only like the stuff like A Favor House Atlantic and Three Evils (Embodied In Love and Shadow). The rest I dont care for.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Listen to Feathers, The Suffering, and Blood Red Summer. They're more poppy than the other ones.

I love all of it though. =)

[NJSpeedbeast]

I almost wished I lived close to NY so I could see Neverender. I can buy tickets, just can't afford accommodations for six days being I would buy the four day package, and see the private acoustic show on the fifth day.


:(

[NJSpeedbeast]

I love how I killed this thread.

[Hbp]

this is in the pop punk forum why?

[Neoteric]

who cares?

[DJ Ducksauce]

I love how I killed this thread.

Ha you don't post in pop-punk much do you?

And HBP: Old topic.

[rocknout89]

they're alright.

[Lawnee]

Has anyone heard the edited version of 'Good Apollo I'm Burning Star'? It's horrific... make sure the CD says explicit multiple times before you purchase it.

[cobert]

this is in the pop punk forum why?

See: Second Stage Turbine Blade

[pow3rtr1p]

Has anyone heard the edited version of 'Good Apollo I'm Burning Star'? It's horrific... make sure the CD says explicit multiple times before you purchase it.

Ya, they edit out "cut", "whore", "die", "kill"... plus all of the cuss words. It truly changes the entire CD, for the worse. The much much worse.

[Iluvatar]

See: Second Stage Turbine Blade

calling that album a pop punk album is like calling certain saves the day albums post hardcore albums

[DJ Ducksauce]

It's closer though. And BRS, AFHA, Suffering, Feathers have a lot of pop-punk qualities.

The main reason this thread is in Pop-punk is because it got the best reception here. People weren't all "The singer needs to grow a pair." and shi.

[Iluvatar]

im just saying the album is pretty much just a rock record with a high pitched singer and post-hardcore influenced guitar work.

and those songs all have more in common with 80s hair metal/popular metal songs than any pop punk I know.

[cobert]

Well yeah it's totally more a straight up rock record than a pop-punk one, but putting this in rock/metal (since this was made before GA came out) would be retarded.

Nobody really cares about where threads are put, as long as there are a lot of fans of the band in that forum. There's been Taking Back Sunday threads in hardcore because people there ****ing love them.

[Iluvatar]

its just this is the deadest forum ever

[cobert]

Yeah and coheed and cambria's last 2 albums blew so maybe this should be moved to a forum where people will appreciate it more.

[Iluvatar]

hey good apollo 1 was fine

no world for tomorrow was a misbegotten child that i still nurture.

[cobert]

should've worn a rubber bro

[Iluvatar]

chris pennie's strict catholic upbringing prevented this =(

[cobert]

so coheed and cambria

[Iluvatar]

pretty good band junesong provision is their best song

[cobert]

I think I might be inclined to agree.

[Bronson]

band sucks but hey im posting

[pow3rtr1p]

I actually prefer "The Crowing". However, as untouched and raw as SSTB is, there still some awesome songs on there (Junesong included), but "The Crowing" always just pumps me up, and I usually get chills at the "Dear Ambellina" part towards the end.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

sweet.

[pazer]

do somebody can work it??

[cobert]

do somebody can work it??

NOTICE: Quote worthy.

[2muchket!]

Thread needs to be moved tbh

Oh and I've been constantly playing SSTB for a week and a half. Love it.
