Time signatures

I don't "count melody notes", I rather try to analyze the rhythm:

In Money the bass drum and snare drum clearly show that the 7/4 rhythm is 4/4 + 4/4-1/4. The last crotchet of the second beat is simply left out.

In The Sound of Muzak the 7/8 is far more complex ... 3+3+3+3+2/8 feels most suitable for me (that's the verse, the chorus is simply 3+3+2/8) - so it's really 14/8.

But I'd still like to hear an example where it makes sense to count 3+3+1/8 ... I just can't think of any!

The part I mentioned in "The Crowing" is at about 3:13. http://www.purevolume.com/coheedandcambria has the mp3 available. I think it's what you're looking for.
