COHEED AND CAMBRIA - any good?

[Dick Sirloin]

Why have I always suspected that these guys sound like THE MARS VOLTA? Have any of you heard the Part IV thing or whatever?

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

From what I've heard, they're not terrible, not great. Depends how much screamo you want mish-mashed in with your Rush-influence hard prog rock.

royal pinkage

lol

 

[Ellestin]

A mate of mine who is known to have shit tastes worships them, so I assume they suck.

So they ARE like TMV?

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Don't know Justin, haven't really heard all that much from either band. I can say that what I HAVE heard from Mars Volta, I didn't like AT ALL.

[Dick Sirloin]

Yeah they're pretty grating and tedious (and that's saying a lot coming from a prog fan).

 

[NAD]

i keep wanting to check them out but the whole "emo" tag keeps me at bay.

i love The Mars Volta but when i'm in the mood for that stuff but not them, i listen to 70's prog since that's basically what those dudes are.

 

[Demonspell]

Yeah they're pretty grating and tedious (and that's saying a lot coming from a prog fan).

Yeah, trying to dress up the familiarly annoying emo with prog pretensions and arean rock choruses just does not work.

 

[Chromatose]

I've noticed a bigger and bigger following growing for these guys, and lately have started noticing the "prog" tag brandied about; was beginning to get curious. Thanks to y'all, I will keep steering clear.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

So has anyone actually heard these dudez?

 

[cthulufhtagn]

yes, they suck so much ass it hurts to think about it

^^

The review on AMG for their new album wasn't really anything special either.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Description plz

 

[NAD]

yeah i'd still like to hear them.

 

[snow2fall]

So has anyone actually heard these dudez?

Yep, and I like them enough to go see them live in January. A friend from Helsinki might come down to Berlin just for the concert too. :Spin:

Coheed & Cambria - Welcome Home

 

[lizard]

I have one of their CDs and nothing about it jumped out and kissed me. I may have to listen again.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

Description plz

fortunately i haven't heard them for a while, and then only briefly, so i can't really give you a good description...i actually bought an album blind a few years ago, having heard "ohh it's so proggy and good" and feeling especially gullible, and hated it immediately. emo-prog with an emphasis on "emo" and the prog phoned in, as i recall.

Coheed & Cambria - Welcome Home

this is pretty awesome other than the Geddy-ish vocals.

either way these dudes are now worth researching further, thanks!
