Coheed and Cambria

[whenharlequinsfall]

I've got a few of there albums and i reckon theyre bloody good, at first i kinda thought they were a faith no more rip off but now i think they are very unique. i mean bloody hell, there songs are based on a graphic novel the lead singer writes. his voive was something i had to get used to but i think the whole idea behind this band is great. i also saw them live and they put on a bloody good show. just wondering what u guys thought of em?

cheers

Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness is an uber cool album.

 

[BurningSky]

I've only heard stuff off of their last album and a bunch of it is good. The singer does take a while, and i still dont even know if i like him, but i can deal with him. Very talented band though.

 

[NFU]

you have heard faith no more right?

 

[whenharlequinsfall]

you have heard faith no more right?

yeah i have, i think there similar becuase they use the same type of poppy hooks

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Ya I don't get the FNM comparison either... :/

 

[Pethical]

i think they are fantastic. i don't get why they are lumped in with the emo bands though, at their gig here earlier in the year it was fringe-central.

 

[Opethian666]

Slightly above average emo crap with failed attempts of progression and innovation imo.

 

[metal_wrath]

I hate Coheed and Cambria as well as The Darkness, they sound like reject 80's bands with helium-induced singing

 

[ThePoisoning]

I like this band. The newest album was a bit disappointing. A lot of the songs get old real fast and there's so fucking many of them.

It'a a tenuous link, but they do have poppy hooks, still not at a level so similar that they're comparable.

I saw some video by them a few months back with a centaur in it, I really thought it was shit, people tried to get me into them and evetually introduced me to Welcome Home. Welcome is pretty lovely track, some really great pinch harmonics backing up a great rhythm. The singers voice isn't a problem for me as he's falls somewhere between power metal and emo core vocals, both of which are styles i'm not adverse to. I do listen to them a lot but I might start to in the next few days.

 

[Heckelgruber]

Could never get over the screaming homosexuality of the guy's vocals. And how are they like the GOOD band Faith No More?

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Check out "Welcome Home" I think it was the single from their last album... you can probably find it on their page or a video of it on youtube. Thats one of the only songs I like by them but its actually a pretty great song. I think that song appeals to a lot of metal fans.

 

[Powers]

Welcome home is really good.

Having discovered the whole idea about their albums being based on "The Amoury Wars" series, which by the way I find really cool A. Because it's pretty original and B. Because I love comics as I'm a bit of a nerd, I'm actaully really getting into them.

 

[Mina!]

faith no more? what?

i like good apollo. coheed is good live. but i can't really get into their earlier stuff.

 

[whenharlequinsfall]

new DVD is awesome, great stageshow and sound fantastic live

 

[wankerness]

Their singer sounds like a retarded german geddy lee impersonator and that 'welcome home' song sounded like 'come with me' by puff daddy, besides the totally awesome bridge that was like "WAN!!! MOOOOH! KEEES FOH YOOOOOOOU!!!" 3/10
