Your ranking is funny cuz I love Pearl of the Stars, In the Flame, Far, and the title track has grown on me a lot.
*Gasp* Far is a top coheed song for me lol. Ranking albums is too fucking hard because there's classics on almost every album and the top 4 changes depending on my mood. It would probably be easier to make a Best of....playlist lol. All I DO know is if absolutely had to rank albums the bottom 2 would be Vaxis 2 The Color Before the Sun Really hoping we get a YotBR vinyl repress this year for the anniversary......
Ok fine I'll make my ranking of albums TSSTB IKSoS3 Good Apollo NWFT Afterman (if we go by the "deluxe" version that combined both Ascension and Descension) YotBR Vaxis 3 Vaxis 1 Vaxis 2 TCBtS The top 4 share the rankings amongst themselves because TSSTB can always drop to #2 and NWFT can jump to #1 depending on my mood.
Maybe Vaxis 3 could top it. Maybe. I'll attribute it to the keywork saga playing such a pivotal part in my life and that entire span of albums being so much older so I have a fondness for them. Vaxis albums being so much newer maybe they'll grow on me. I guess you could split up the rankings between arcs, like if you isolate the keywork saga, YotBR is still at the bottom.
Nice article Coheed and Cambria vs Taking Back Sunday: New Jersey emo legends pick each other’s greatest tracks
The Afterman: Ascension 1. Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute 2. The Hollow 3. Key Entity Extraction IV: Evagria the Faithful 4. Key Entity Extraction III: Vic the Butcher 5. Subtraction 6. Key Entity Extraction II: Holly Wood the Cracked 7. Goodnight, Fair Lady 8. The Afterman 9. Mothers of Men I was never a huge fan of this album for whatever reason, and although I do like it considerably more now than when it first came out, it still doesn't really come close to the heights of Decension or their earlier stuff. I think it's a nice bounce back from the two that came before it though. It's a fun concept and there's a lot of really great moments although I think most of the songs are a bit inconsistent. Current Ranking Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV: Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 The Second Stage Turbine Blade The Afterman: Ascension Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV: Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow Year of the Black Rainbow I'm still working my way through these but since this is the last one I'm not already familiar with I should be able to finally finish this soon lol.
Mothers of Men is my least favourite song on either Afterman, it's solid but doesnt really do that much for me. There's at least 5 songs on Descension I like more than anything on Ascension, and revisiting it now I think it's probably still my favourite Coheed album.
Josh has one of the most New York Guy voices ever. He’s gonna call in to a sports radio show right after this to complain about the Mets.
