Majestic McMoose Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 This came out recently, part 1 of their double album. One of my favourite Coheed albums so far, the drums are great. saw them live a few weeks back and they're spot on with their shows, one of the best gigs ive been to. Anyone a fan?

anada Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yeah I love Coheed. Not overly fussed on Ascension though, I hope part 2 is better. For me, the album is a definite improvement over Black Rainbow but not as good as all their older stuff. Only a couple of songs grab me, whereas on all the albums preceding YotBR I found every song memorable. I just want them to go back to doing sick solos or big instrumental sections all the time.

Solace Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I really loved the album. The Afterman and Mothers of Men are really solid tracks. It's got a very Good Apollo Vol. I feel. Especially Goodnight Fair Lady. I think Ascension is their second best album after Second Stage (but I know many would disagree on that).

Majestic McMoose Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Goodnight fair lady to me had a very apollo I the writing writer feel to the beginning and the rest of it has such a great jam. The drums on vic the butcher continue to blow me away everytime i hear them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anada Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Eppard is a very underrated drummer, I've always loved listening to him. Especially in a band where the guitar work takes a real centre stage. It's good to see him back, hopefully he's sorted out his drug problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except his drums were really boring when he was in that band with Fred from Taking Back Sunday. I think they were called Terrible Things. The music they played didn't lend itself to the drumming Eppard did, but I'm really happy he's back with Coheed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite Coheed albums so far, the drums are great. saw them live a few weeks back and they're spot on with their shows, one of the best gigs ive been to. Anyone a fan? the drums are great cause they stole Chris Pennie...one of my favorite drummers. Dillinger are one of my favorite bands and he was one of the original songwriters....guess he had to go where the money was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh eppards back for the double album, hence my big drum boner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic McMoose Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 May be alone in being really fucking excited for part 2 next week. giddy like the little bitch i am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solace Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 It already leaked. It wasn't as good as Ascension I think, but still alright. Better than YOBR and somewhat better than NWFT, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic McMoose Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 quick track by track;1. Pretelethal - the beginning bugs me, i dont like how he sings it, then the drums hit and im happy2. Sentry the defiant - GHJGJRG;JV love it, the acoustic versions much better, but this is still easily the best track on this half3. The hard sell - wasnt too fond of it on the first listen but the chorus is growing on me 4. Number city - was really thrown of by it, especially the trumpets but its got such a sweet groove to it which is half of why i love the band. 5. Gravitys union - sorta meh, seems to go on a bit too long6. Away we go - maybe my second favourite from this half, i love jams like this, i can tell if they play it acoustic itll be pretty fucking awesome 7. Iron fist - really bummed it didnt remain fully acoustic but still a pretty sweet jam, not sure about the electronic drums8. Dark side of me - love the throw back in the drums and the opening riff is great 9. 2's my favorite 1 - seems like a pretty standard track to end an album with considering its coheed. i absolutely adore the coheed theme, so when it was at the end i was pretty happy that the double album started and finished with it.
