A Disappearing Act was the best surprise on an album I've heard in a long time. It's a full on dance track with common chord progressions, and yet manages to be dark and seductive as well as epic. Twisting vocals, excellent dynamic contrast, and bombastic synth sounds. Coheed has dabbled with this realm of music, but I can't remember them fully diving in, and they immediately excelled.
couldn't agree more, I disagree fully with the video about that song. It was such a breath of fresh air and is a big highlight on the album for me. Though pace wise I think having Love Murder One follow it up wasn't great. It's a good song but not the best placement for it imo
The only issue I have with it is it should be a prize fighter inferno song not a coheed one. But considering its Claudio in both who really cares that much ya know
I have a feeling that my top 10 most played artists this year will be 9 death metal bands and then Coheed and Cambria... I don't understand why I like this band so much. Wasn't even a fan until the last album but I love them now... It's confusing at times, but damn it's catchy. Great review btw!
Coheed deserves a quiet room decent headphones/speakers and full attention. So much musicianship and talent in show and something new every listen through.
Coheed are such an unbelievably brilliant band that they could play a genre of music I absolutely hate and somehow make me love the way they do it. They are just rock, pop, prog, metal, electro, classical, funk and punk all mixed together to make this unexplainably beautiful soup. I don’t care what style of music you like and dislike, you can’t not appreciate the quality of this band as songwriters.
Love Murder One is a big standout for me. 2nd place goes to Ladders of Supremacy. Honourable mention to the intro track which transcended my consciousness to another dimension for a good minute. I really like Blood but totally agree with what you said - I find myself skipping ahead sometimes. Disappearing Act is actually one of my favourites though. I love when Coheed does a 180 and gives us something totally unexpected. Can't complain. Plus it's kind of a banger.
I was introduced to Coheed through Vaxis Act I and loved that album, I love this one even more. I'm not really super loyal to particular genres, I love BIG music, stuff that feels epic and makes me feel tiny. I really love when an album has so many mixed genres like this album does, I get some epic marching band, some punk, some metal, some pop rock, a dash of emo, etc. There's a dash of Queen and I even get some Michael Jackson feels occasionally. I love this freaking album.
I think it’s dope that you are steadfast in your conviction of their genre. Coming from the punk Emo scene I couldn’t get into them because they were so prog. Me and my bro were like, “did we just buy a Rush record?”
Coheed is my favorite band. as a metal head i get side eyes until i play Coheed for people and then they are almost always in. Thanks for reviewing this! i have been pumped for this album for ages!
I knew Disappearing Act was gonna have mixed reactions, but I think it might be my favorite at the moment. I just went through a little Duran Duran phase, so my head’s been in that 80s synth dance space for a few weeks lol it also reminds me of the band The Birthday Massacre so that also plays a factor
So far I’m really liking the album. I totally agree with the Queen vibe. I love that. It’s funny because as huge a following that Coheed has these days, I have only met ONE person that even knew who they were lol. I look forward to becoming more familiar with this new album. At some point I’m going to delve into the entire comic book side of Coheed too. I get the concept of the story but feel like I’m not quite invited to the party just yet. Great review! Oh and my personal classification of Coheed is Progressive Classic Rock lol.
Careful haha once your in they have you for life. Such an addictive and fun band to follow nobody quite like them. It's amazing the following and loyal fan base that they have held throughout the years.
So glad you pointed out the influence of 3 on here. I thought of The End is Begun almost immediately. I saw them open for Coheed back in like 2012 and I was blown away that they weren't a bigger band. Criminally underrated.
3 and Coheed were contemporaries when they started out. Hell Josh, the drummer of Coheed is the brother of the singer of 3, and used to be their old drummer.
I wish Joey Eppard was still writing as much music as Claudio. He's still writing, but it's slow and lately he's been focused on solo stuff. Highly recommend joining his Patreon cause there aren't *that* many 3 fans out there. Criminally underrated is so true.
I remember seeing 3 and Coheed tour together after Second Stage came out. Joey was so impressive. Went to a couple of 3 headline shows in MN (touring Wake Pig), but there was nobody else there. I was always so bummed that 3 didn’t have more appreciation.
This album is incredible!!! Definitely amongst some of their best albums. I've been a fan for a while and their uniqueness is what always keeps me coming back. Hopefully I get to see them live someday soon. I also thought Disappearing Act was one of the most unique songs on the track!! honestly it just took me by surprise and I fell in love with the song
I've loved this band since Silent Earth and they're unlike anything else I listen to. Everything they release is pure gold if you discount Color Before the Sun, but every band deserves a gap year.
I'll never discount Color Before the Sun. Here to Mars is the most beautiful love song and every time it pops up on random I get teary eyed thinking of my wife and have to replay it several times over. I'm not trying to argue with you or discredit your opinion, but there are some real good, emotionally driven songs in that album.
Dude Color before the sun is prolly my favorite album by them. This one is very close but I just love Coheed. This band always amazes me and I always come back. I mean Claudio and the band get me through life pretty much, the dude is the reason why I am happy so often. He taught me guitar heck my first concert was a Coheed concert. everything these guys put out is great Color isnt a gap year just because its different because all of the songs are great. My fav is Eraser or atlas but they are all good. This new album is great too!!
Yeah I hear you there, its actually my favorite track I love Claudio's experimentation with synth and pop its a shame to hear so many reviewers aren't digging it.
A very fair, objective and detailed review. I appreciate that. It shows you understand the band, the genre, etc which really helps to relate to your perspective since we all appreciate different elements of music. Nice work.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 I'd say get some decent iems or headphones and listen for the intricacy in the songs even the more pop sounding tracks have layers and layers of detail to discover. Just because there are pop tinged hooks or big fun choruses does not mean it's not prog imo
I agree completely except for the opinion on "Bad Man" and "A Disappearing Act" I just feel like maybe they started when Claudio was writing for PFI and the guys loved it and wanted to have fun with it
Coheed and Cambria have been my favourite band for over half my life. This album is one of their best, some fantastic new directions. I absolutely loved every second.
I may be one of the few, but coheeds softer songs like wake up, ghost, fangs of the fox, and lucky stars, have always been songs that stand out to me as some of the best on their albums. And now our love is definitely on that list.
Thanks for the review, Dylan. I haven't been a fan of this band up to this point, but I am interested in this record and am enjoying it so far. It's also nice to get a break from the usual Banger fare with this review, and spend some time on the periphery of metal. P.S. Love the Great Cold Distance shirt. One of my favourite Katatonia albums.
It’s funny. I liked A Disappearing Act a lot on my first listen, and it’s a song that tries something brand new for Coheed and Cambria to explore. The top songs listed here are songs that sound like some classic songs on other albums, but A Disappearing Act is new and interesting. In my opinion, it stands out as one of the best songs on the album.
Personally, I feel like coheed could’ve been considered a kind of progressive post hardcore that was a little ahead of its time compared to bands like circa survive, dance gavin dance, chiodos, fall of Troy etc; but they eventually moved past that and became a prog metal when they in a sense matured their sound.
I've been a fan since the release of SSTB and this album is kind of more of the same but since they have a sound of their own it's hard to find anything like it.
I agree with most of your review. I guess the only thing I would disagree with is Disappearing Act is awesome! I love it for exactly the reasons you didn't like it 😂. I love the fact that after 9 albums they're still being creative and bringing something different
Tbh, for me this album was kinda disappointing as a longtime coheed and cambria fan. it felt like an overblown and overproduced arena rock album that while shorter than Vaxis Act I (thank god). Had less meat and potatoes or anything going on like they just played everything safe and stayed in a comfort zone to which i can say The Dark Sentencer off Act I had more riffs and nastiness than the whole of Act II had. Which is weird because the concept for Act II is them being on the run from government forces chasing the Unheavenly Creatures throughout the album. To which you think something like that would have some speed and a sense of urgency and looming fear. I dont mind dialing this back and making a punkier sounding album akin to SSTB, but that just wasnt there. like it feels like someone said that people only listen to Co&Ca for the hooks and choruses and just overdid the whole album with it.
I love progressive metal but have never been able to get into Coheed and Cambria. It just has never clicked with me. Don't dislike it, but don't know why it does not connect. Maybe will try again.
I'd say just go into it without expectations of genre etc just listen critically it's so much fun with some decent headphones picking out all the nuances and musicianship
I'm struggling with the production more than anything. Too many elements are buried at times (largely Travis, if I'm honest), though I hope repeated listens helps my brain bring them out.
That's the beauty of Coheed. I feel like they've done this on every album. Once your ear catches on to the background riffs (usually Travis), it adds a whole new dimension to the song. The Suffering is a great example of it - I didn't hear the beautiful riff in the background for YEARS, I think I literally discovered it in 2019 after hearing the song for the billionth time.
@@kell7689 I totally agree with you man. Even after a decade of listening to all of Coheed's songs, especially songs from GA Vol 1, I can still pick up new riffs, sounds and nuances that I didn't hear back when it was released. They write such complex songs that you cant possibly hear all of its beauty in 1 or even 10 listens.
@@GoldenFoxTV Thanks for the clarification - I knew SOMEONE had been yanked from the tour... Sorry for my earlier error. May peace be upon you and all those you hold dear.
Although in some ways as bland as Vaxis 1 (great mixing, interesting verses ruined almost every time by clichéd choruses), this one had more heart and feeling behind it somehow...AND "Window" is one of the best Coheed songs ever, basically eclipsing the rest of the album and Vaxis 1.
Coheed & Cambria are not prog metal. Isn't this a metal channel? Shouldn't the "experts" know the difference between prog metal and prog rock? The dude looks like he just rolled out of bed. Coheed is one of my favorite bands (top 5) and always will be. This is another great addition to their discography.
From the samples you've shown, I like the instrumentation a lot. I just can't get passed Claudio's vocals to fully enjoy it. This may sound strange, but his highs are very jarring for me. I will agree however, that Coheed is a progressive metal band though. For anyone looking into something on the heavier side i.e. death/doom check out Guillotine A.D. and their album Born to Fall.
When I first heard Coheed, I hated and mocked Claudio's voice. It took me a few years to get passed it, but now they're my favorite band. Its actually a pretty common story among Coheed fans.
I’m honestly a bit disappointed in this album. Don’t get me wrong I love love love this band. I saw them on their first ever tour in NJ at the asbury convention center. They most definitely have their own sound and are also extremely talented. No this album definitely did not live up to vaxis 1: unheavenely creatures. It may be because they released the best songs waaaay prior to the album and I definitely outplayed them. I haven’t had a lot of time to listening to the rest over again but I can’t help to say i found myself pretty disinterested. I over players the last album to the point where my son won’t let me listen to it in the car anymore, haha. I can’t say the same for this album. I love a few song but it just doesn’t hold a candle to the last album.
As a long time Coheed fan this is the first time I'll say that I didn't like the album much. For me Vaxis 2 is the laziest album they have right now. The guitar riffs are not so memorable and more on techno. The last album The Unheavenly Creatures have lots of pop songs which is kind of a let down. As much as I enjoy The Liars Club, Comatose and Shoulders it seems that this new album is not my cup of tea
I see it as a strength of the band that I don't like everything that they do it means they took risks and play what they want to play and not just what the fans want to hear. I understand that it may not be to your taste but lazy is not the word I'd use for such a musically diverse and genre inclusive band.
@@TheCoheedIndeed Lazy is the exact word for this album. 60% of it is chorus, chorus, claudio forces some lyrics over ambient noise, chorus. They managed to pull out a worse album than YOTBR.
I’m a sucker for concept albums, but I checked out on Coheed when I realized their stories basically all boil down to fridge a woman, so the hero can go be a badass. Once that clicked for me, I couldn’t not feel gross listening. It’s good music, but there’s a ton of good music out there that doesn’t make me feel like I need a shower for my brain to wash the taint of their lyrics off afterwards.

Let us know your thoughts on Coheed and Cambria’s latest album.
It's absolutely incredible. The last three songs are so epic, and Window of the Waking Mind is one of their very best.
A Disappearing Act was the best surprise on an album I've heard in a long time. It's a full on dance track with common chord progressions, and yet manages to be dark and seductive as well as epic.

Gotta agree here. Pretty sure it's my favorite on the album now.
The only issue I have with it is it should be a prize fighter inferno song not a coheed one. But considering its Claudio in both who really cares that much ya know
@@AlcaHolicGamer I reordered the songs a bit (put "Blood" after Shoulders, for instance) and think the album flows much better.
@@sawyeratkinson Yeah, this and Bad Man are definitely better as Prize Fighter Inferno songs, but good ones. I just hate auto-tune.
I have a feeling that my top 10 most played artists this year will be 9 death metal bands and then Coheed and Cambria... I don't understand why I like this band so much. Wasn't even a fan until the last album but I love them now... It's confusing at times, but damn it's catchy. Great review btw!

Loved em since like 2005 lol they bang so hard, some of the old stuff is fantastic
I've seen Coheed live 3 times and they just slay the crowd, one of the best performing acts I've ever seen.
Coheed live is an otherworldly experience.
Same here. I've been to probably a hundred shows in my life and the three Coheed shows were the best.

I’m honestly a bit disappointed in this album. Don’t get me wrong I love love love this band. I saw them on their first ever tour in NJ at the asbury convention center. They most definitely have their own sound and are also extremely talented.
No this album definitely did not live up to vaxis 1: unheavenely creatures. It may be because they released the best songs waaaay prior to the album and I definitely outplayed them. I haven’t had a lot of time to listening to the rest over again but I can’t help to say i found myself pretty disinterested. I over players the last album to the point where my son won’t let me listen to it in the car anymore, haha. I can’t say the same for this album. I love a few song but it just doesn’t hold a candle to the last album.
How is Coheed NOT a prog. metal band? Do people somehow think metal = screaming or something?
As a long time Coheed fan this is the first time I'll say that I didn't like the album much. For me Vaxis 2 is the laziest album they have right now.
The guitar riffs are not so memorable and more on techno. The last album The Unheavenly Creatures have lots of pop songs which is kind of a let down.
As much as I enjoy The Liars Club, Comatose and Shoulders it seems that this new album is not my cup of tea
I see it as a strength of the band that I don't like everything that they do it means they took risks and play what they want to play and not just what the fans want to hear. I understand that it may not be to your taste but lazy is not the word I'd use for such a musically diverse and genre inclusive band.
@@TheCoheedIndeed Lazy is the exact word for this album. 60% of it is chorus, chorus, claudio forces some lyrics over ambient noise, chorus. They managed to pull out a worse album than YOTBR.
I’m a sucker for concept albums, but I checked out on Coheed when I realized their stories basically all boil down to fridge a woman, so the hero can go be a badass. Once that clicked for me, I couldn’t not feel gross listening. It’s good music, but there’s a ton of good music out there that doesn’t make me feel like I need a shower for my brain to wash the taint of their lyrics off afterwards.
3 skulls
Dylan i tried. It's the vocals. i don't disagree on the progressive nature of the music but ugh that voice.
It’s just anime intro music
No shoutouts?
They made a separate video for the shoutouts.
It's a separate video for some reason
YEEEEEEES DYLLAN IS BACK
honestly welcome home is the only song that sounded good to me the rest i couldnt get into at all
Sweet child of mine is the only good Guns n roses song.....
Uurrggghhhh fuck this.
Skip song 6,7 and 10. There done.
Also probably one of their best intro and outro songs.
Perfect for Frozen III soundtrack.
You should be reviewing new Porcupine Tree, not this garbage.
Talented musicians wasted on horrible music.
It's wasted on you plenty love it and are able to enjoy it. Taste is subjective.
So this isn't a metal review show?
