yep, i love them. seeing them in november in fact. totally a mix of rush and zeppellin. but i love them as opposed to just liking rush. in keeping secrets of silent earth:3 title track from the album is just f*cking epic.

First tragedy, then farce.
the last album was significantly better, I thought. This latest one is good, but I think the Pink Floyd/Radio Head "Hey look how self important we can be" bug is starting to catch up with them.

dont expect much from them live.. I've seen them three times now.. and every single time Cladio has gotten really winded about 10-20 minutes into their set and just starts dropping entire lines out of songs. It really sucks because they are one of my favorite bands, but I think homeboy needs to lose a little weight.

Edit: It should be noted that everytime I have seen them was in Summer in an outdoor setting in Texas. So, if you are seeing him indoors or later in the year maybe it wont be as bad or happen at all. Who knows.
 
I've only heard that one with the video but I like it. I didn't think I could stomach the rest of the album with that guys voice. I'll give it a try.

Is that Trey Anastasio from Phish in the video?

The Velourium Camper Iii Al The Killer <-- thats a pretty damn good track

If I wasn't already confronted for posting k.jpg, I would right now.

They're a horrible band and the voice of the main vocalist is so annoying and atrocious that if hell has a soundtrack I'm sure it holds atleast one Coheed and Cambria song.

I don't like them very much.

I bought there album DUE TO PEER PRESSURE and it left much to be desired.

Although I do really like the songs The Velourium Camper I: Faint of Heart and A Favor House Atlantic... still though, not rectify my purchase.

And the lyrics suck, I think. I understand that all the songs sort of read out like a story, but I need something a little more in my music.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I don't like bands who's vocals sound like a mouse singing...a mouse who's just breathed in lethal amounts of helium!

I didn't know that men could sing higher than Geddy Lee and not be in the Vienna Boys Choir, but Coheed and/or Cambria proves it.

Look, I'm not going to say that I hate emo. Once I listened to The Postal Service, a flood of emo came out. I just can't stand C&C. They're too whiny- and I like Bright Eyes.

Guilty pleasure band. The first album is several degrees less worse than the second one. Horrible lyrics and vocals. I kind of like the pseudo-post-hardcore thing going on, but this is way too overpolished for me to appreciate. I get the impression that there's a good band underneath, but these proggy trappings aren't doing them any favors.

and I like Bright Eyes

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow that brain-train down! Birght Eyes is not very whiny, especially Lifted and everything after it, and I don't think Bright Eyes could ever be considered emo. It is definitely alt.country. =D

Don't argue over the definition of emo, my son. It leads to a pit of despair and useless bickering. If you know what it is, so be it. . .but don't tilt at the windmill of educating the masses on this subject.

I love EGM
i enjoy his very high pitched vocals. The light & The glass is very soothing. but the songs lyrics are a fucking nightmare. Its like satan singing a lullaby to me.
