Reddit reviews In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3

I drove to Denver from SLC to see Coheed on Satruday (after driving from DC > Denver > SLC the weekend before). I got to the venue about 3 hours early and stood in line. The line types were kind of a shit show. The platinum went in fine as scheduled cause there were only 25. When it came to gold, there must have been 60%+ people in the line, so they broke it up into 2 lines at two doors which kind of fucked some of the people who had been waiting a few hours.

Anyway, I was about 10th or so in the 1st entrance and b-lined it to the merch table. I was able to grab a record, then relieved my about-to-burst bladder, then got a drink, and made my way to the front. For the acoustic song, Coheed covered Jimmy Eat World which was fucking awesome. General admission was supposed to come in at 6:30 but didn't make it in 'til 7.

TYS came on and confused the fuck out of me. There were sweeps, then horn solos, then blast beats, constant singing with vocals I couldn't make out whatsoever. I was just scratching my head, watching the clock to wait for Coheed to come on. They weren't bad by any means. Some of them are very musically inclined, but I don't think they know what genre / song style they want. They kind of transitioned from genre to genre, and not seamlessly I might add. Not like BTBAM going from blast beats to African tribal music.

Anyway, I digress. So Coheed came on at about 8:30 and continued to amaze me for the next 2 hours. I never thought I would get to hear IKSSE:3 front to back after I missed the first Neverender. Despite the total neck beard / hot topic convention, the crowd was awesome. A lot of singing, A LOT; which I'm fine with. Coheed was in key and on time and are great showmen. I have seen then probably 10 times over the past decade plus, and this might have been my favorite performance by them. One of the best parts was the light rig. The house lights were ... well, just that, house lights. But the lights that Coheed provided made for an epic night. (I'll attach some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about). They played a few new songs, a few old, and closed with Welcome Home. Overall the long 16 hours of driving was well worth it and I don't think that will be topped for quite some time.

That's true, I didn't even look at the release date on the amazon.com page. I would think the date would be the same, we'll have to wait and see.

Here's a link to the amazon.ca page

Ah, I'm guessing this is it then.

The preorder has been taken off the MerchNOW page.

The black double gatefold 180g "Audiofile Edition"(sic) is still available to preorder from Amazon and Amazon Canada.
