Just wondering if they are viewed favorably in this neck of the TD woods...

They have a different sound, the lead singer has a series of comic books called "The Amory Wars", and their music is based mostly (as far as I can tell) on said comic series.

Clearly, I tend to enjoy their music more than most. I even enjoy their acoustic cuts (some more so than the studio versions).

What say ye?

They were actually part of one of my first concerts. I went to see Linkin Park, and it turned out that Chiodos opened for them (catchy band, not great by any stretch), and Coheed was co-headlining. I thought they were 10x better than LP.

I saw them open for Killswitch Engage at the Sugar Mill several years ago; they brought it. Great show, great musicianship.

Think they are a great band but their best is behind them. In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3 is a top to bottom fantastic album!

Favorite band, absolutely incredible live. They've fallen off a bit since Good Apollo, but The Afterman was better than the last two albums so they might be on an upward trajectory again. They're supposed to start recording #8 in January, so I'm looking forward to that.

I've seen them live probably 5 times now and I think they keep getting better. I listen to about 75% of their past two albums (sort of a double album) on the reg.

They just did a Yahoo Live show in Dallas.

I am definitely enjoying The Afterman: Ascension right now.

Also, "Here We Are Juggernaut" and "Feathers" are a couple of my favorites.

You don't often use a word like "beautiful" to describe a song for the style these guys play, but "Gravity's Union" is just that.
