Title: At the risk of cashing in my street cred, I enjoy Coheed and Cambria
Post by: GilloD on June 18, 2008, 09:24:28 PM

I have a very carefully cultivated record collection. It runs the gamut from ancient 30's crooner tunes, through Jazz and Soul, early proto-punk, a lot of early 70's rock. It hits some rocky ground in the 80's, but I had a real taste for 90's indie rock and lately I've been consumed with modern minimalist composers like Steve Reich and John Adams. I keep hip with the kids, but in general my tastes are sort of esoteric and yet comprehensive. Snobbish, but welcoming.

And yet I cannot deny the delcious allure of Coheed and Cambria. Mixing up metal with proggy time signatures and youth-hearkening pop punk is just a fatal combination of everything I enjoy in my heart of hearts, like a chocolate covered Oreo. I DONT EAT NO NOM NOM NOM TRANS FATS.

Their lyrics are atrocious, the story behind them is even worse and yet I cannot deny my true love for Blood Red Summer. Let us rock.

I liked the song in Rock Band if only because watching people try to mimic the voice is awesome.

Run to the Hills is also awesome for that if only because of the hilarious lyrics

I still dont understand why they put a master track on Rock Band, only to follow up with a cover song as DLC

And Blood Red Summer sucks... listen to Gunslingers and Gravemakers

I only really like the song in Rock Band (liked it before it was in Rock Band) because it has a pretty sick riff.

On the actual CD, the two Rock Band tracks are back to back.

Honestly, that's the best band in that genre

Does 'cultivating' a record collection mean that the collection is more important than the music?
