i've held out because i listened to domino like 800000 times before ascension came out...so now to avoid the overplay, i've not listened to ANY songs from descension hoping to take it all in at once!
Even from my early Coheed fan days, I never thought they would rule as hard as they do now. Name another progressive/alternative rock band that could pull off funk-pop with a full horn section and still have it sound this great.
I've been disappointed with each song they've released from Descension so far...upon first listen.
I'm going to need a few spins of this album before I can make up my mind.
leak or not in the simplest terms: The Afterman is a great fully realized concept album over 18 songs. i fell off not having the patience with FFTEOF, NWFT, & YOTBR but this really blew me away for whatever reason.
This track is pure solid gold. New bassist has proven himself with this track, takes the lead like a pro. And the drums: fierce, precise and driving hard. The song just evolves and twists in so many great ways, I just can't stop listening. Since I haven't heard the leak, the new album really can't come soon enough for me. I hate the wait!
