big fan. At first the vocals took time to getting used to, but then I accepted them and now it feels like Claudio's voice perfectly melds with the rest of the awesomeness. I love their sound.
And I'm really looking forward to their next album. Chris Pennie on drums, actually recording for this album, omg. Hopefully Coheed does a few songs or a certain style that lets Pennie really shine, because he is one gifted sob on drums. Perfect for Coheed's mix of prog/rock/metal, specifically the prog aspect. Sadly last album was kind of light on the prog, probably half the reason due to the last drummer leaving and Taylor Hawkins having to fill in - with guidance from Chris Pennie, but ultimately still Hawkins doing the work.
As for songs? from old to new:
Time Consumer, Delirium Trigger, Everything Evil, Neverender, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3, Cuts Marked in the March of Men, Velorium Camper 3: Al The Killer, The Light The Glass, 2113, Welcome Home, Apollo 1: The Writing Writer, the Willing Well series I-IV, specifically IV: The Final Cut, The Hound (Of Blood and Rank), Mother Superior, Gravemakers and Gunslingers, The End Complete III: The End Complete, TEC V: On The Brink.
Quite a few songs in there I enjoy but wouldn't consider a favorite. Those listed above tend to be the first tracks I listen to whenever I listen to a specific album. Oh, and live versions of their song tend to be insane. They are skilled live, sometimes I swear the songs sound better, they just put more into their live shows. Especially The Final Cut, of which tends to become an extremely long epic guitar battle, and lately apparently ending with Pennie doing a massive drum solo.
