The return of the ring. It seems the question posed by the last album and many a t-shirt has been answered, "when it rings, will you answer?" People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
love it!loveit!love it!loveit!love it!loveit!love it!loveit! Woah woah woah people, all you trash talkers are talking about my favorite band so go suck ass and shut up! THEY ARNT EMO!!!! what the freak is ur problem? COHEED AND CAMBRIA ARE THE BEST BAND EVER! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to them and everyone who isnt being a jackass and to all you vindictive assholes if ur gonna post something bad ahve the balls to put ur name and fess up to what u did. cowards. TO this guy: yeah... this band sucks ass, the lead singer should slice his wrist and right we suck on the wall so everyone can understand why he did it. this is an incredible album... great lyrics, great instrumentals, great vocals.. definetly has the feel of an album that should go down in history This isn't a bad album and some tracks on it really stand out, but some of it sounds like fucking dream theater and I can't be doing with that shit in my cd-player. Great review. Definitely true. About 4 of the songs I can't get enough of and they're on my permanent playlist but the rest well...I'm not quite sure what to make of them! not as good as turbine. still its an amazing album. and they are great live. If you would like to escape reality and enter into an oblivion of deep, dark, enthrawling and brilliant music, than this is the right cd for you. Takes good music to another level and actually makes you think. Its enlightening and mind stimulating and Co&Ca is amazing...dont knock it till you try it....you wont be let down and if you are listen to it again cause you missed something To the guy below me, Travis does play lead, but most of the really amazing guitar work it Claudio (the super fast riff in the bridge of the crowing, the cool stuff on tracks 3 and 8, etc). And I really hate punk fans sometimes because they judge all music solely by how much it sounds like every other punk band. You all worship bad religion for writing like 80 songs that are just 4 power chords in 16th notes with distortion and palm muting...it all sounds exactly the same and takes no talent, its the same thing blink does. You people just hate bands that actually know how to play their instruments. Coheed is amazing, Rush is amazing, Thrice is pretty good, and Bad Religion sucks...I am so sick of this punker than thou bullshit; you people need to grow up, because most people realize there is more to music than trite political opinions and terrible instrumentation around 14. i fucking hate review boards, but i have to post. i dont see why its important to catagorize bands, and i also don't understand why people get on here and say that coheed and cambria sucks. no one cares if you think they suck, go to a support group and work out your hate problems, dont come here and bitch about things using co&ca as a whipping post. why waste time saying you hate things? go harvest some wheat or find something that you like to do, no one likes hostility. now for the reason i came here. coheed and cambria is a story put to music. claudio sanchez is writing a sci-fi novel and comic book as we speak. this is where my respect is strengthened ten fold for coheed and cambria. favorite part of the album=travis stever on lead guitar. If you don't like the CD, then don't fucking comment on it. No one gives a shit if you hate Coheed or not, the only people who should respond to this are people that actually like the album. Such as myself. why does this remind me of Rush? oh wait, It's because everyone seems to rip on them too. not to mention the voices between the two singers are strikingly similar. I'm a big fan of both bands and I believe they bring SIMILAR aspects into their music. Plenty of talent in both bands, although Rush is better. Yeah, I'd go buy Moving Pictures before this CD, but CnC don't come off as a Rush knockoff and they write some pretty cool tunes, not to mention being original (Yeah I said it, name a few other bands for me who sound the same.) ........hanson kicks ass......... I believe every one can say what they want about CO&CA, whether it be good or bad, but I just took two oxys and five beers and this album is probably the most amazing and innovative Ive heard for a looooong time... hahaha, yeah lets just make a list of the bands that kids like now, and just hope CoCa sounds like it. Was that the general idea? Fucking idiot. I love this band to death. Al the killer is badass, as is the opening song and the crowing. though i do have to agree all those bands u listed do suck, coheed does not and they sound nothing like them. keep ur ill informed crappy comments to urself. That is one of the dumbest posts I've ever seen here. I don't like the band at all, but to group them with the other bands you listed is asinine. The sound nothing alike. Whoever posted the comments below is right on the money. I couldn't have said it better myself.. Why don't you tell everyone which bands aren't "fucking crap" according to your bounty of musical knowledge? You are obviously quite bright, as you compare Coheed and Cambria to The Starting Line and other bands, which they sound *exactly* like. That's what Coheed and Cambria are: pop-punk. What an idiot. I don't care whether you like it or not, but it doesn't even sound close to pop-punk, or any real vein of punk for that matter. Stuff like this and Tursday.....IT just seems kind of fake...Bands like these seperate themselves from real Indie bands who dont care about pushing units. This band is such fucking crap. They, as well as Thrice, Story Of The Year, The Used, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Starting Line, and all those other shitty-as-all-hell unoriginal, money money money "punk" bands should all be executed, or just simply participate in a mass suicide, inviting all their pathetic fans. hey, ad copy written into a review. cool. the best band out there? Sorry but no, because fugazi, modest mouse, radiohead, elliott smith, godspeed..., q and not u, and cursive are all better. I do like coheed but their not gods gift to man, and their not that original. Coheed and Cambria are without a doubt the best band out right now...As far as originality goes no one even comes close...if you don't like it thats fine, your probably not ready for a band that actually knows how to play instruments and write songs that don't sound like 40 other bands...so take this cd out of the player and put your good charlotte back in "Girl's dont like boys...girl's like Cars and Money" man, the ring was the shittiest movie ever. haha sickboi, i love you. if only in a purely heterosexual way. Here's a score for the scenester below. Get off your high horse you little women's-pants wearing, long black geasy mop-top sporting,nu-emo psuedo hipster. Don't worry fucker, the new trend should be here in a couple of months. Hit the books and study. ok eff this review. Coheed brought the fuckin rock on this cd. There is so much detail that this cd takes almost 20 listens to understand all of the technical musical cues they used, let alone the story here. If you think this cd is just their way of following their last album, you're wrong. Listen to the hints of doubling vocals as well as the miscellaneous references to various genres of music. By saying this cd doesn't bring about the same emotion of discovery as the last album did is pig ignorant and you should never listen or review music again. If you dont "get it", you shouldn't try to act like you understand what this band is doing. Orchid fucking rules!!!! and thrice shure the hell does'nt equal god!!! These chaps remind me of Dio on crack! Ska and Emo join forces the gayest shit ever !!! "please don't call thrice and thursday screamo. i have nothing against them (well besides thrices new one sucking a bunch) but go listen to some city of caterpillar or orchid if you want screamo." hm.. well.. i wrote this review, and it didn't get posted, i don't know if this is a punknews.org no-no.. but.. here's MY review please don't call thrice and thursday screamo. i have nothing against them (well besides thrices new one sucking a bunch) but go listen to some city of caterpillar or orchid if you want screamo. Great album. Takes one or two listens to understand. It's way different from SSTB, poppier on many tracks, which could turn away some fans, but at the same time there's surf, hard rock and metal influences... Give it a spin, it's really good. i love this band and cd..but the old one was better.....coheed and cambria rules i saw this band live once and i wnated them to stop. Zombie Apocalypse? That shit is wack, yo. the reviews mentions more about what coheed and cambria are and not what this album sounds like which is crap compared to the last one. its good to know that not only is screamo the dumbest genre ever, but it OBVIOUSLY begins and ends with bands like thursday and thrice. Meh isn't exactly a new word, but how gives a flying fuck...instead of this, why not listen to the new Zombie Apocalypse? Badical! "That's what you get for not having a username, asshole." Just how much cock does thriceequalsgod You guys are such little bitches. And please, stop reviewing the review. Its not bad. Two words: SCENESTER F.U.C.K.S.!! Damn everyone on this site is so volatile. Opinions are just opinions, geez. Anyway, this is ok, I don't really like Coheed, but i must give them credit for having a pretty original idea, and there actually worth seeing live. Not my thing though. "holy shit... i really dont hate anyone on this site. no one pisses me off to the point where i truly dislike that person. BSD is a big exception. he pisses me off like no other, because he is stuck in his 14 y/o mindframe of "its not good unless i like it". What's wrong with local-felons? I personally think they're pretty rad yinzers. Co and Ca. holy shit... i really dont hate anyone on this site. no one pisses me off to the point where i truly dislike that person. BSD is a big exception. he pisses me off like no other, because he is stuck in his 14 y/o mindframe of "its not good unless i like it". Wow, these fellows played way too much Dungeons And Dragons as youths, I give this a 10 for the fear factor. that thrice fanboy is my mortal enemy. easily the best of '03 thus far, nothing comes close to it. Eh.. Nice try at a review, but it just didn't cut it. This album is like "Matrix: Reloaded" to the first "Matrix." The first Matrix was unique and so fresh and cool (conceptually) that it blew people away and the same withe "Second stage..." "Matrix: Reloaded" was still good but at points it was drawn out and over done. I hope the third album and third movie really wrap shit up. Is there something wrong with hating myself because I can't bend far enough over to suck myself off? Oh and I really do like these guys, I just wanted to sound cool earlier. Dorks are real people too. Seeya! Gonna go pinch other one and see how flexible I can be... "yeah, because this is great.... pffftt not. this is only good if youre an insomniac, because it might be able to help you get rid of that disorder... oh and LOTR is actually pretty cool, i was just saying in dorkness terms. Is there something wrong with hating a band because they sound like a emo version of Rush? Also, as "intelligent" and avante garde as many of you people think this is, its a really fucking dorky story, its somewhere in between "LOTR" and D&D as far as concept goes. Fuck this band not because they suck, and they do. No, fuck these guys because of all their 15 year old (thats a generalization, i don't want to here how old you actually are) dorky ass-clown fans who think this is the hottest shit since I pinched one off about 20 minutes ago. Idiots. I will go listen to Bad Religion. This score is for Bad Religion. "Man, this band, like, pisses me off! A lot of people like them, and there're not even tough! And man, that singer's voice is high! Kind of like...Rush!! Yeah, their singer's voice was high too! Oh man, these guys sound just like Rush! Haha, oh man, people will be intimidated by my vast musical knowledge when I tell them these guys are just a Rush rip-off! Man, fuck these guys!" "i am glad you all hate it so much. hopefully everyone feels this way and they will play smaller venues. go listen to bad religion." "You listened to it all the way through, and then sat there dumbstruck. What the fudge was that? After a second listen you were so excited about this record. You held it in your little hands and told all your friends and couldn't believe how many people this seemingly-too-intelligent band would touch." This is way too good to comprehend. That bridge around the 3 minute mark in The Crowing shreds or something. I need to think of a better word. Dude. that bridge in The Crowing is badical. suck suck suck. Just like Rush. If Coheed and Cambria should be labelled anything, it should be sci fi. I can't stand most material from the other bands that they always seem to be grouped with, that's why I don't like seeing the same label applied to them. Honestly, they don't do too much screaming, so I don't see why people compare them to other bands that do. They are an awesome band and I'm proud to be a part of the scene that they came out of. One of the best albums I've bought this year. The score and review doesn't do it justice. Enough said. awesome album. didnt like the review...the score and how it was written. If anyone has Capture the Flag's "Walking Away from Everything" CD there is a riff somewhere on that that is exactly the same as one of Thrice's. Really, they're not as original as a lot of people think. I also don't think that being original or interesting has that much to do with being good. Coheed and Cambria are really one of the more unique bands out there, but not my cup of tea. i've been saying 'meh' since 86! i really did not like this album at all. too opera and instrumental for my tastes. hell i like their previous album over this. Fuck you all. This album is epic, and so is Thrice. Go fuck yourself. Does anyone catch the New Found Glory riff on Three Evils (#4)? Not the greatest review, but good try. "I see the problem as this, You listen to bands like Thrice enough you get Iron Maiden riffs stuck in your head, and lose all aspect of the term "originality". A band comes along, that is a little off-beat, more "indie" than "punk", and you all freak out. Haha, stick the cd to your ass to make your shit come out in little cylinders. That was really funny, Jerry Seinfeld, now fuck off and don't try so hard next time. What crap!!! oh man.. you are SOOO right.. thanks for being the first to point that out.. wouldn't have seen it without your help.. Rush... crazy.. I was wondering what happened to the boys from Rush. Now I know, they became a little heavier in sound and changed their name to Coheed and Cambria. Oh wait this isn't Rush, damn sounds just like them. I see the problem as this, You listen to bands like Thrice enough you get Iron Maiden riffs stuck in your head, and lose all aspect of the term "originality". A band comes along, that is a little off-beat, more "indie" than "punk", and you all freak out. This singer has no testicles. Though I have yet to see physical proof, listen to his voice. Yikes. yeah, if you dont like thrice than it MUST be the result of them being popular. wow, that's all i can say. i never said i hated this band, or anyone who likes this band, but i gave my own personal opinion. if you cant respect that, then fuck you. you cant force people into thinking something is amazing because you think it is. not everyone likes 'your' type of music, and not everyone likes thrice, or whatever music i choose to listen to. the immaturity here sometimes is just overwhelming. like what you want, just dont force other people to listen to it. you can tell people how bad something is or how good something is, but in my case, i dont care what you have to say. CoCa and Thrice are very good. Stop hating things because they are popular, not everythig can be yours kid. It's really hard to get past the sound of the singers voice. It gives me a headache !! Musically interesting, but I would never buy, They put me to sleep at warped tour. The bonus track on this album is terrifyingly bad... but the rest of it is surprisingly listenable. The band's best quality is their ability to (supposedly) write around a story and yet not get so caught up in the metaphor as to make the music unlistenable. Maybe it's just that the themes that the band is writing about are universal enough that everyone can identify.... Agreed, Screamo is the worst genre name, ever. i like this I hate Coheed. i love coheed. i am glad you all hate it so much. hopefully everyone feels this way and they will play smaller venues. go listen to bad religion. how is thrice bad, i mean really becuz they are popular, thats a stupid reason. you guys need to grow up, losing a few punk points for liking thrice, WTF is that, when did liking punk rock turn into a point system. you guys are too childish and wont be going to shows in 5 years anyway, or i could be all wrong, you all are more hardcore than all that have been hardcore before you. thrice is an amazing band. please show me another band out there right now with a combination of melody, heaviness, musicianship, flexibility, and lyricism. please. I love HWM as well, but the problem is they are on Epitaph and will never sell more then 25-30 thousand records. Fuck you and your 3.5 stars. i agree also, hwm>c&c>thrice I totally agree with the guy below me, HWM is the shit. The kids who like Coheed and Cambria are gonna have a sissy fight with the kids who like Thrice. thats funny, i just got done solving the equation, you must not have carried the one. I got, thrice=nfg(y dumbfans) thrice equals god-the little salad tosser's username speaks for itself. i think this album could have been way better. compared to sstb its only mediocre. JESUS LOVES YOU MY CHILD... Save your money and go buy Rush "Moving Pictures" instead... That's what you get for not having a username, asshole. How could we ever take a Thrice fan seriously??? i hope no one takes seriously comments made by one named "thriceequalsgod". really. not that i don't love this album, but this review was written by an obvious fanboy... should have been a little less biased and shouldn't assume the readers all loved tsstb. what a review! ummm wow i am thinking this band shouldnt take lessons from Geddy Lee on how to sing. this is like the worst ruish album imaginable. fuck... look above for my revised score. yeah, because this is great.... pffftt not. this is only good if youre an insomniac, because it might be able to help you get rid of that disorder... anything over a 5 for this is just unwarranted. this lil matthew must have had too much fun making those poo cylinders. Wow, this is just too good for words. Seriously, this is just as equal as the last album, if not better in many areas. This band again amazes me by just being different. abso-fucking-loutely overrated. this is a respectable follow-up to TSSTB. i bought it but it didn't come with a dvd. fucking sellouts. First. CO&CA own. Not as good as Second Stage after my first listen, but a few stoned sessions with my headphones on and this in the player will likely change that. Oh, and if you buy this, not download it like some ass clown, check the DVD out. The "alternate" video for Devil In Jersey City is a hoot.ennany. lates. |
