I feel like I’m gonna have to listen to this album a lot to decide where I want to place it in comparison to other Coheed albums
I havn't had a listen to the bonus tracks yet, but I'm maintaining my earlier position of "It's the weakest Vaxis so far, but it's still pretty damn good".
I keep a playlist for C&C, but drop tracks that I don't care for. Vaxis III has 3 drops (Yesterday's Lost, Corner My Confidence, and Continuum IV)
Vaxis I & II only had 2 drops each. (Prologue, Lucky Stars / The Embers of Fire, Our Love)
Whereas Afterman only keeps 3 tracks each, and Black Rainbow 4 tracks.
(Domino, Vic, Evagria / Sentry, Number City, Away we Go)
(The Broken, Juggernaut, World of Lines, Made out of Nothing)
This isn't anything new though, I only like 3 tracks off Second Stage Turbine Blade (Time Consumer, 33, Devil in Jersey City)
man, Domino fucking slaps
Lots of “good” tracks, a few I’ve already started skipping, but not many absolute bangers.
I’d like Siloh the Selfish a lot more if it wasn’t so repetitive.
So famed genre composer Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, Walking Dead, countless others) has a 2 album collaborative rock/metal project called The Singularity, and The Singularity: Ekleipsis, some famous guests involved, this track features Claudio, and Tim Henson of Polyphia.
Coheed and Polyphia in one song? Count me in. I’ll check this out on my break.
Been checking out both albums since I posted that, reminds me a bit of Ayreon if anyone is familiar with that project, a big collaborative concept album/proggy semi-rock opera (it can be a bit cheesy but I recommend The Human Equation, has some great vocalists). Found out from this reddit post that there is (of course) an accompanying graphic novel I may need to try to track down, also Lee Pace shows up in the first album doing a bit of narration, funny that I keep running into him (Invincible, and I started watching Foundation recently).
Edit: sample of Ayreon if anyone was curious
