I picked up all of their CD's in the course of about 4-6 months ago. I did not like them at all the first time I hears, them. I kept listing for the next week or so, and I started to really get into them. Months later after listing to them A LOT I think I found my calling in music. This band is amazing, not a day goes by where I do not listen to them. What are your guys opinion on them?

They have some amazing songs and some absolutely horrible songs, like Pink Floyd.

They are the ultimate band. I've seen them everytime they come to Denver. Me and my buddies met Mike Todd (bass) at Wendy's before the show, it was awesome.

I loved their new CD but I like their older stuff much more.

They are decent, IMO. I don't mind listening to them, but it's not usually what I would choose

I'm like you TC. My friends went crazy over Coheed and were fanatics and i always hated them, then i just started liking them randomly. I have alot of their songs but not all, they are pretty rockin and concept bands are pretty cool.

They are some gnarley dudes. They don't come off as cocky I think alot of their fans can relate to them.

This might sounds immature but, I honestly think that people that do not like them, just have not listened to them enaugh. Everyone can like them, it just takes some time.

I like The Running Free. It's pretty catchy in an alternative metal sense. Haven't heard much other than that song and the one on Rock Band.

I like a couple of their songs, and they are talented, but after 3 or 4 songs they all start to sound the same to me. Sounds like generic corporate-sponsored metal to me.

I beg to differ. It may be my fanboyism speaking but I think they are being progressive. If you follow the music, you'll find that every song ties into a grand story. They even have comic books that go into detail of the meanings of the songs.

Excellent band, very musically knowledgeable. And I was the same way, sort of liked them at first, then grew to love them over time. Unlike most of todays music, which is catchy, but lacks musical depth, their stuff doesn't immediately grab you. You can't really appreciate it if you're just listening casually.

I do prefer their first two albums to their more recent ones. More proggy; just my style I guess.

I agree. Their latest album was meant to wrap up the story. Their next album should be sick because it'll shed some light on the origin of the story.

That's cool man. Everyone has their own tastes. I listened to a couple of their albums all the way through and definitely caught the sense that they were telling a story. They just seemed kind of bland to me after about half way through the albums. There are progressive bands out there who do it far better, according to my tastes. I think getting a different producer, or producing the music themselves might help them. Just my opinion. I still think they're pretty talented...they just didn't blow me away. That's all.

That's cool. Yeah, I think MSI and the Mars Volta are far more progressive in that sense. Claudio is just overflowing with talent, IMO. I could categorize him among the Robert Rodriguezs and Les Claypools.

He has become a much better vocalist over the years, if you listen to their earlier stuff. Travis and Claudio simply shred on guitars.
