Coheed and Cambria

[Gonzoie - Luclin]

Ok, so i used to rag on people who listened to this kind of music, but i decided that i would spend the last 48 hours downloading music that i often made fun of to see what its all about.

So to give you a taste of what type, i downloaded Fall Out Boy and Coheed and Cambria, the rest along the same line as that.. classifiable as emo i guess you could say. For the most part, i didn't like any of what i downloaded, only a select song here and there. However, Coheed and Cambria on the other hand, i found incredible.

They are more rock than they are emo.. infact, they really aren't that emo at all from what ive heard. The singer may have a high pitch voice, but would you classify Rush or Supertramp as emo? This band rocks. Their guitar is wicked, not exactly shredding like most of the bands i listen too, but they make good use of the whammy bar. Some of their songs i just can't stop listening to, and the majority of their songs a decent length with a lot of solos and instrumentals.

If you like rock, then check these guys out.. They may be a little mainstream and new age, but they could be one of the better bands that has come out in the past few years.

They've been getting a lot of good press from the guitar rags. But they also get slammed because stubborn close minded musicians call them emo and hate anything emo.

You're right, they have nothing at all to do with emo. I just picked up the album but haven't gotten a chance to listen yet. I'll add my own opinions after I get to give it a spin.

I've always heard people talking them up but never actually heard their music.

Then yesterday I heard a song of theirs on the radio. Good lord did I hate it. It was probably whatever single they have out these days. Perhaps the rest of their music is better, but I couldn't stand this.

It might just be their singer. I also hate Rush.

Coheed and Cambria rocks. My ex-GF burned me one of their CDs like a year and a half ago and I couldnt quit listening to it. Then I accidentally scratched the CD really deep, and we had broken up already. I never got around to making another one haha.
