Vaxis 2 is the only Coheed album that I actually don't give a shit about and that makes me sad. 16 years with the band and I should be growing with them instead of... the other way around.

To be kind of fair, getting into the band 16 years ago would mean you got into them just after their peak. They've been around a long time and bands tend not to get better as they go on (that's not a hard rule but a generalization). Coheed could have called it quits or stopped releasing new music following The Afterman and I don't think we'd really be missing anything significant.

My apologizes. I came into them in 05, but either way, it was at their zenith. I'm not holding my breath for the next three albums.

Even for late era Coheed Ascension tops this pretty handily

Ascension has better highlights for sure! But I think both albums are equally good listens.

For what it's worth, this is Coheed's most atmospheric album for sure (I'd say Year of The Black Rainbow, but that's far more noisier in the grand scheme of things). This is what Vaxis 2 lacks in, and actually gives Vaxis 1 the edge in my opinion.

I think I'd give most the most atmospheric crown to IKS, GA:I, or Ascension but this is definitely up there with the rest of them. Vaxis II for sure was lacking the atmosphere overall so I hope III leans fully into it.

I never really found GA:I to be atmospheric at all, brilliant and musically endearing, sure, but never felt much on the atmospheric front. I suppose IKS has moments (The Crowing, The Light & The Glass) but mostly that album felt more dramatic and emotional to me. Ascension on the other hand, is closer to what I mean by atmospheric, especially on songs like Mothers of Men and Evagria. I genuinely can't put my finger on it, but the majority of Vaxis 1 strikes those similar chords to me. Yet Vaxis 2 felt as far away from this as possible, almost like it's lost some of that magic?

The entire Willing Well suite, Always & Never leading straight into Welcome Home, the digital soundscapes in Apollo I, Idk... I think GA:I is dripping with atmosphere. I think it's one of the things all but a few of their albums do really well.

Vaxis II is so much better than this, I have no idea what any of you see in this. Outside of The Dark Sentencer, this whole album is BORING

I think IKSSE3 and GA1 are their most atmospheric albums, or at least the most cohesive?
They were truly in their bag as far as storytelling and being musically adventurous. I get such a dark and epic vibe from GA1

I'm super biased towards IKS but yeah from the second that phone rings I'm immediately sucked into the atmosphere of the album and it climaxes perfectly with the masterpiece that is 21:13. The first time I heard the callback to Time Consumer was a formative moment that made the whole Coheed thing fully click for me.
