GrandDesigner Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The Rush/Geddy Lee connection was much more obvious on Coheed's first 2 albums (SSTB and IKS), where his voice was very reminiscent of a cross between early 80's Geddy Lee and Michael Jackson, but by their 3rd album he developed his voice into its current sound. I agree completely that he no longer sounds a thing like Geddy Lee, and the whole connection to Rush is pretty farfetched. The main reason they are so heavily compared is that C&C have a song called 21:13, but even that sounds NOTHING like Rush. This band is incredible. The Afterman albums might just be my favorite thing this band has done, even topping IKS which I never thought would happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandDesigner Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Number City is the tits! Yeah, Descension is shaping up to be even better than Ascension. Number City is a pretty unique song, and catchy as hell! Dark Side of Me is probably the one that's blown me away the most so far, both the remix and studio versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I can't get into them either. Their vocals seem way to poppy to me. Like some annoying metalcore. Say what you want about them sounding similar to Geddy. I don't hear it at all. Coheed has poppy vocals / songs, but they do it right like ELO for example.. Can't say the same for Rush however...

Fukk, I'm 44 and I love this band! THEY RULE! Even my buddy Duck hates them and we usually see eye to eye on everything musically!!! I told Claudio right to his face during a signing that I figured to be his "oldest fan." He laughed." Told me that he also loved Rush! Anyway COHEED RULES!! Can't wait to see them next month!! "Black Rainbow" was a let down but then "The Afterman" hit the market. EPIC EPICNESS!!!!!! I'm a grown man yet whenever I hear or see "The Afterman song or video I tear up. What the hell?

Dscrapre Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I just bought Neverender on a whim after only hearing a few of these guy's songs. HOLY SHIT! C&C RULES!

RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yes!!!! They Rule!!!! I flew to LA with my woman and caught the last two nights of the Neverender Tour!!! Epic! Met Claudio at a comic book store on Wilshire.He signed my sealed Kill Audio figure! Get it Claudio. Kill Audio! Lol Anyway I asked him if he liked Rush and Claudio smiled at me and said hell yeah! I then told him that I was probably his oldest fan! I think I was 40 then. He laughed! Some people think this band is EMO POP PROG. I think this band is the next RUSH. Claudio Rules!! I wish he would play his white double neck more!!! Same with Alex!!! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Finally had a good enough drive to-and-from work today to listen to the album... I like it, mostly.... these are my initial impressions. The only track I did not care for was "Number City", not terrible, but the weakest track on the album.. The softer tracks ("Away We Go" and "Iron Fist") were okay... but they have much better "softer songs" (Wake Up, and Pearl of the Stars to name two). The rest of the album was fantastic though, I thought.. and a good 2nd half and continuation of the first half of the album that came out last year.... Again, these are first impressions, after one listen. I still need to hear "Ascension and Descension" back to back and see how well they play off each other but I liked this album very much, not as much as I liked "Ascension", but still far and away better than YotBR, and NWFT. On the production side of things, I did notice that Descension did sound a bit muddy, something I didn't notice on Ascension... Not too bothersome, but noticeable.

The Owl Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 On a side note, Can anyone give me a synopsis of the story behind C&C's albums...or provide a good link that tells the stories of these albums? I've tried going through the lyrics and find the story kind of hard to follow.. (thought admittedly have not tried all that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all over Youtube tonight watching some Coheed videos and listening to some songs. Someone on there actually said and I quote "Some of the most beautiful moments remind me of Geddy Lee." I can't wait for Coheed And Cambria tomorrow night!!!!!! The Warfield San Francisco! I can't believe the boys aren't playing "Away We Go." What a melodic hit!! This f***ing band rules! It blows my mind that Duck hates them so much! Then again my friend is not alone. Many humans hate Coheed And Cambria. This band is in my Top 10! I remember listening to the second Coheed album while driving down to Los Angeles to catch the R30 show at the Hollywood Bowl. I was hooked on them ever since! There is a MAJOR fuckking Rush vibe in Coheed. It doesn't matter if many Rush fans don't get it. I get it and I've been around the Rush Block. It is what it is. Claudio told me right from his lips that he LOVES RUSH!!! "Welcome Home" Claudio! HE RULES! Sorry Pat! COHEED IS NOT EMO! THEY ARE MELODIC PROG ROCK THAT RULES!!! UP UP AND "AWAY WE GO" DUCKY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dUy-gnEApw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
