Descension is meh, but it at least has a few worthwhile moments.

The only track i really struggle with is "Iron Fist" and that's just because it's a worse product than the original demo.

Been long time since I've listened to this album, I remember liking it more than I thought I would

Gravity's Union takes me right back to IKSSE3.



This one? Takes me nowhere, doesn't feel like the same band. But it's good enough, just missing the magic. I respect their decision to stray from the concept now more than I once did.

Tried to give it another chance. I couldn't even finish the thing. So uninspired and boring.

Atlas is the best thing on here, album's existence is worth it for that song alone.

Anybody listen to the Chonny and Clyde EP Claudio did with his wife? It's like indie acoustic folk, similar Prize Fighter Inferno.

I really can't like this album. IKSOSE:3 is my favorite album of all time and I adore Second Stage, Good Apollo I, and Ascension but this album joins Year of the Black Rainbow and Descension in the mostly ignored pile.



So much of this album is boring and generic. I also hate a lot of the lyrics. Everyone is correct in saying that Coheed is best when they're writing darker material. I think IKSOSE:3 hits the perfect balance of dark and somewhat light-hearted songs with Three Evils, Faint of Hearts, Blood Red Summer, and A Favor House Atlantic.



Essentially all of this album is whiny pop to me. I don't know that any of it is as bad as 2's My Favorite 1 as far as cringe pop goes but I still don't like it.



And for the record The Hard Sell and Guns of Summer are the worst Coheed songs. The Hard Sell has some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard, especially in the chorus.

The Hard Sell is a great jam tbh, I rate it above most of Descension

I give Descension a bit of a pass because of Number City and Iron Fist being absolute gems and the end of Gravity's Union is great. Everything else is average to bad for me. I suppose Pretelethal is pretty dope too.
