Song of the Moment LIII: Coheed and Cambria’s “The Suffering”

I still have not reached my monthly blog count, and October will end tomorrow. Damn it, Deranged Writer. You need to force yourself sometimes.

Anyway, I’m still on a Coheed and Cambria sound trip, and I finally reached their third studio album and arguably their magnum opus: Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. It’s the first Coheed album I listened to in full and it’s still my top favorite Coheed album because of the entire record’s perfectly dark and epic rock and orchestral arrangements. I can also say that Good Apollo One (both the album and the graphic novel that ties into The Amory Wars story) is a major inspiration to my Deranged Writer persona.

Oh, man. I enjoyed listening to Good Apollo One again so much that I already listened to the album twice. I already listened to the Coheed albums Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow and Year of the Black Rainbow, but I’m going back and listen to Good Apollo One tonight.

As for my Song of the Moment tonight, let me share arguably Good Apollo One’s catchiest song and my second all-time favorite Coheed and Cambria song, “The Suffering”. If I were to introduce Coheed and Cambria to a friend, I would recommend “The Suffering” first and then “Welcome Home”, my number one favorite Coheed song ever. Or I would recommend “Welcome Home” first and then “The Suffering”, whichever comes to mind.

(Speaking of “Welcome Home”, I will definitely blog about it soon.)

That is all for now.

Song of the Moment LII: Coheed and Cambria’s “A Favor House Atlantic”

Hello there. I was supposed to blog yesterday, but I didn’t have access to the Internet the whole day and even my mobile data sucked. Now that both means of Internet access are back, I’m also back on The Diary and I might blog twice in one day soon.

Anyway, I recently finished listening to Coheed and Cambria’s second studio album In Keeping Secrets to Silent Earth: 3, and… wow. It has been a long time since I listened to the album from beginning to end, and it was a nostalgic trip because it reminded me of my first year of college – the same time I was becoming a huge fan of the progressive rock band. And what is one of my favorite tracks from the album? “A Favor House Atlantic”, the album’s second shortest song… and the catchiest.

10-Minute Warning CXLVIII

OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

I have 2 reasons to celebrate tonight with a glass of ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero. Firstly, it’s finally the weekend, and if you have been following The Diary, you know that this is how I kick off my break from the work week.

And what’s the 2nd reason? Remember my post about the 1st Deadpool & Wolverine teaser – the post where I mentioned I wanted a Deadpool half-shell mask for so long? After finding a local supplier, ordering the mask from the supplier, and almost 2 months of waiting, I finally got the mask! Well… almost. I got the package this afternoon and I have not opened the box yet. Why? As much as I want to open the box right away, I want to blog about my unboxing and review of the Deadpool half-shell mask, and I must carefully plan and document the whole process. Wish me luck on that!

And that’s all I can share for now. Happy weekend, everyone!
