Coheed and Cambria

I downloaded the new Coheed and Cambria, and ive been pretty obessed with it for the past week or so..I think people on here might actually enjoy it (open minded people, not prog-snobs).  If anyone else agrees with me, back me up.  I think them and the Mars Volta are starting to breath life into a now somewhat cold genre.

And I don't think prog is a cold genre,there are so many bands doing very interesting things right now.
IZZ
A.C.T.
Tool
Opeth
The Flower Kings
Riverside
Porcupine Tree
TMV

etc,etc,etc.

woops, my grammar really sucked on that post, sorry

The new Co&Ca is great.  If IKSSE:3 was art-rock, this is jumping into the deep end.

Had Good Apollo...for a lil while now, haven't really gotten around to giving it a proper listen, but from the first three songs...I don't think they were aware of what would be a good opening track...we have a kind of classical piece, an acoustic bit, and then a Kashmir-esque rocker...I don't know, haven't gotten further yet, but what I heard I thought was decent.

Robert Fripp has always said that seeing a band live is perhaps the best outlet of seeing what a band is truly about...and in terms of C&C, based on a DVD I have...they love 6/8 and power-punk-rocking it up (for lack of a better term).  I'm not a huge fan...but I have to respect what they're doing; or, trying to do.

And in regards to InsideOut music's artists being "insincere" I have to agree for the most part Cerebrum, but have you checked out (aside from POS) CHROMA KEY, King's X, FLOWER KINGS/TANGENT/Kaipa, OSI, TREY GUNN, PLANET X, PAATOS, CGT, or ENCHANT?  Those bands/people in caps I think aren't no slouches and certainly aren't decreasing progressive music's credibility...there is nothing new, no ineffable ground to be broken anymore really...just good song-writing really to look forward to...in my book least.    

Well, they're not exactly a prog band, but definitely good art rock.  The new album is good, far better that either of the previous 2.  I cant really explain to anyone why i like this band, though.  Pretty much everyone I know hates the band, either because of the vocals or because they only know them as an "emo" band. 

A good album, recommended to Rush fans and general art rock fans.  not totally prog, but more progressive than Supertramp, anyway.

Haha.

Download this track (The Willing Well: I. Fuel for the Feeding End) if you haven't heard them yet. It's my favourite track on the new album.

But yeah, great album. I dig it.

Coheed and Cambria prog??? Don't get me started 


A month ago I tried to get them in the archives, and to this day it hasn't yet worked

After listening to the new CD about a hundred gazillion times now (OMGGGG it is sooo goood!!!!), to classify them as "prog" is not a stretch in the slightest sense, as any of their eariler emo tendencies are all but gone (with the possible exception of The Suffering, the poppy single which I still love). Good Apollo is my favorite CD of theirs and probably in my top 15 of all time as it stands right now. ITs definately good enough to get them on the archives.
