r/coheed's Song of the Day #58: The Black Rainbow

EDIT: I came off way too negative on this one. I like this song a lot, top 4 of the album for me. Just to clarify.

I love the title of this song because it's not Year Of The Black Rainbow. This song originally made me go "ew", and now it makes me go "oooh". Its got some cool stuff in it, but I guess it's kinda fitting that the (mostly) title track of the album is the definition of over-production. So much is happening here, and most of it is random noise or vocals layered on layers. Don't get me wrong, I like the song, but damn. This song going back into One is cool. It does a nice job transitioning into SSTB if you've got them in a playlist.

The Fiction- I think someone gets their mind erased. Someone elaborate here! That's the significance of the "It's over, it's over!" as well as everything just cutting out.

The Real- As far as I can remember, this song was a jam that just happened to build on itself until it became the last song, but it was never intended for that.

The Part- I've gotta say, my favorite part has to be--
