Yup, Number City is my favorite song on the album. I still think that The Running Free is my favorite Coheed song. Going to see them the 17th in Portland.After multiple listens, I've decided Number City is my favorite Coheed song of all time. Too god damn groovy. Reminds me of an over the top Head Automatica/Say Anything style of song. Claudio's ability to write in any genre is still fucking awe inspiring.
I wasn't thrilled about Ascension, until repeated listening. There were a few songs that still didn't resonate with me, such as Subtraction and The Hollow, but after a while it definitely grew on me. Descension is miles better, however. I think when you take the entire thing and look at The Afterman album as a whole, it may be my favorite music album of all-time.REALLY enjoyed this album it ranks up there with Good apollo. i didn't care too much for Ascension except for a song or two but this one hit it out of the park.
Number city and the hard sell are my favorites.
I wasn't a fan of Year of the Black Rainbow either, but The Afterman is brilliant. I don't really care much for the story either, but I get an entirely different experience out of the lyrics than what is "intended".So it's just me that can't get into this album or Year of the Black Rainbow?
It could be that I never cared about the story, and while it's all technically very good it just feels less epic. Parts of the first 3 albums especially really swept me up at times to the point where I wouldn't listen to them if I needed to concentrate, but the last two albums feel like they'd be perfect background noise.
Maybe it's me that changed.
...annnnnd I had the over and under at 11 for a Mippo reference.How many of the new songs are about Mippo?
I couldn't get into Black Rainbow so badly that I haven't given this one a shot. Even after listening to the first four a million times.So it's just me that can't get into this album or Year of the Black Rainbow?
I had the opportunity to "first post" this thread, but I couldn't remember Mippo's nameIt saddens me the first comment was not a mippo reference.
Maybe we will get lucky and they will tap Whedon to direct.Claudio is to the music genre as Joss Whedon is to video media, but infinitely more talented. A collaboration between the two would blow my mind.
The Amory Wars', which were picked up by Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson of Leverage Productions to be developed into a live-action feature film last year, tell the story of the rise of superhuman dictator Wilhelm Ryan, and the one family that could hold the key to liberating the world from his tyrannical reign.
