I discover this band like a week ago and now every song I look up by them is nothing but bangers!? Where have I been!!!??

[@billscorner404]

There is no other music. There is only Coheed.

[@prettyponymonster]

Youre in for a treat. Pretty much every album is good from front to back. Some songs might take some time to get into as a new listener, but that makes them more rewarding!

Another banger from my favorite band. This came out at midnight , the second i turned 36 and i just realized that i've loved this band for half of my life. I got hooked at 18 when i heard Devil in Jersey City. Since then it's been the best love story of my life

[@teiwaztim1482]

I turn 37 3 weeks from today, and ive been into them for 22 years meself. it was so hard devising to listen to this or wait on the vinyl. i caved. they still got it. im with you on this night!

My birthday on the 23rd (I’m in texas so it was still my bday when it came out.) Happy birthday to us! My favorite band for 20 years now. 🖤🤘🏻

[@kansasmartin1236]

I bought a random mix cd in like 2004 from best buy and sabutie was on there I was intrigued got a warped tour cd and coheed was on there been hooked since..... it's the same band almost.

[@anthonyp2297]

Fuck yea man. I love seeing comments like this.

[@runlittlerabbit]

The fact that they could seriously sing the line "See, you got clowned, boy" and make it BONECHILLING

[@vitorocks18]

Its like the Dark Sentencer and The Willing Wells had a baby. So fucking dope! Favorite on the album!

[@NobleVillian]

I feel different. I feel like you could slap this right between End Complete IV and V and nobody would know the difference.

[@billscorner404]

I'm getting heavy The Final Cut vibes from it.

[@brentmartindale4643]

It definitely sounds a bit like The End Complete III

[@apt7prod]

Don't forget about gravity's union, pretty sure they had a 3 way

This with Rise Naianasha and Window of the Waking Mind is the best part of this album! Just 15+ minutes of awesome music!

[@anthonyjones3835]

This album has like.3 different styles and sounds for each section of the album I think it's cool.

[@JestaKilla]

@@anthonyjones3835 I agree. While my favorite bit is the end tracks, I'm totally into the poppy side of this album, which, you know, I wouldn't have really expected. But when the keyboards kick in at the start of A Disappearing Act and you've suddenly got Coheed synthpop? Holy cow, I'm on board.

[@venumbear7393]

This song is by far my favorite on the new album. Josh is just flexing those drums here, but for me it’s Zach absolutely oozing bass all over this track. The first half of the second verse is so thoroughly satisfying as far as bass goes. Seriously such an amazing song, every Coheed album has that one song that they just dial in to a decidedly more gritty and aggressive style, but also every album they evolve that sound. Ladders of Supremacy is the one song from every album I feel like they wrote because I needed it.

[@apt7prod]

Yeah this album might feature josh's best drumming overall. He's on another level. So glad he came back

[@lagunablade383]

Coheed at its god-peak era.

[@eldiabloblanco3167]

I remember being introduced to coheed in 2006. Getting high with the boys and listening to my ridiculously talented friends have jam sessions. It was like a free concert all the time. Coheed got played alot. 😁✌

[@kansasmartin1236]

They have always been good peak because they evolved. I am an original fan but not because it's coheed must like them.. it's because their music tells a story it evolves with the storyline and the times of out music taste.

[@VTimmoni]

They just keep getting better

[@kell7689]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@cornela1]

Something about the mix and the drums makes me really love this album

[@_Mr.Tuvok_]

The way this goes into ‘Rise, Naianasha…’ on the album is just perfect

[@tragicallymalicious1]

The way this song just builds and builds to Claudio screaming "climbing up the ladders of their supremacy" makes my hair stand up. Amazing stuff.

[@bobbyguajardo9471]

Don’t let this life defeat you. No matter where you find yourself.

[@tam653m]

I wish every track was THIS.

[@Fullcollapse1]

Yup I'd like it way more

[@FlapNasty3]

Gotta love that “Queen of the Dark” vibe going on in the beginning.

[@IIESPD00DII]

Such an underrated song. Coheed is at their best when the music has that dark eerie sound to it. Tough to accurately describe but songs like “Deranged”, “Domino The Destitute”, “Queen of the Dark”, “The Final Cut”, “On The Brink” all have elements of this song. It’s when they are at their best

[@FlapNasty3]

@@IIESPD00DII totally agree. There’s a level of dread in the music, with a semblance of non achieving hope. Like 21:13, the Black Rainbow, Pretelethal, In the Flame of Error. I totally get what you mean.

[@ZanAzoth]

5:33-6:48 Is top 3 of my favorite all time coheed moments. It never fails to give me chills. The instruments, the lyrics, the vocals, they all meld so perfectly

[@shanedinan6949]

The absolute climax

[@FullMetalMagic]

Whenever I think of Warhammer 40K, Coheed and Cambria is the music that perfectly summarizes it

[@ZanAzoth]

So good to come back to this, the one and only video of Ladders of Supremacy, from time to time. It'd be really cool if they made an animated video or something for it, but I suppose it's for the best that they didn't.

[@Taycatte]

Yeah, it would really suck if they, say, hired someone to make a video and he just fed the album art into a gen AI model, and then slowly rotated a camera around a room he spent a day making in Blender.

[@Mattkeyz1]

Perfect fusion of The Willing Wells, The End Complete and Dark Sentencer

[@raistlinmajere5550]

Every Coheed album has that one song were everyone gets to strech and really play this is that song

[@boots_33]

The opening 2 minutes of this is the best thing I've heard in YEARS.

[@livingdeadgirl12090]

This gives me goosebumps. This reminds me of their older stuff.

Another one to add to the Epic Coheed Anthem Playlist, might be my favorite along with the Dark Sentencer, the end of this song is just 30 seconds of straight chills. Josh stays in the pocket this drum line is magnifico

[Verse 1] Oh, we've only got one chance at this The severity unmerciful as the tension sits As the world comes into view, our biggest fears, they seem to all come true [Pre-Chorus] So how we gonna handle this? When the punch lands, boy, it's all about how you fall Go on, swallow your defeat [Chorus] Stay down, boy, see, ya got clowned, boy You got heart, but sorry, just ain't meant to be Another one down the Ladders of Supremacy [Verse 2] The time has come for us, accept all you've become All your chances burn to ash, the еnd's begun Here wе watch as time moves on Away from all the things we could have done [Pre-Chorus] So how we gonna handle this? When the punch lands, boy, it's all about how you fall Go on, swallow your defeat [Chorus] Stay down, boy, see, ya got clowned, boy You got heart, but sorry, just ain't meant to be Another one down the Ladders of Supremacy [Bridge] Evil does as evil do All you want, they took from you So that's how it goes 'cause who you are, take a look You knew you never had a chance You never had a chance to be loved [Verse 3] No matter how hard you want to play You'll always have one foot in the grave You just wanna live, but you were born to lose, to lose Now get up from the gravel And dust off your shoulders Because now it's your chance to prove [Outro] Climbing up the ladders of their supremacy Was it everything you had dreamed?

[@SHA8UTIE]

Same here on everything.

[@PovGRide742]

As a fan of Dream Theater, I agree. I find a lot of similarities in the vocal less melodies. I find Dream Theater's musical talent to be better, but Coheed's musical to be more attractive... if that makes sense? But that's not to discount either of them.
