Coheed and Cambria's New Single- You've Got Spirit Kid

It's been a while since we've heard anything from the Nyack rockers Coheed and Cambria. Yesterday, the band released their first single, titled 'You Got Spirit Kid', for their new album

The Color Before The Sun. The band also announced that this album would not be a concept album. This would be their first ever album that they have released that is not a concept album. Claudio Sanchez, the lead singer and guitar player for the band, stated that the band never had any limitations as to what they could do as artists and that they would like to try the writing and creating an album that would not follow the Amory Wars, the fictitious world created by Claudio.

The single itself has a very poppy sound to it. It does not sound like Welcome Home, A Favor House Atlantic, or anything else they have released thus far. This is an interesting change for the band. That is not to say the single is bad, it is quite good actually and it grows on you. I was unsure about the song at first because it wasn't the Coheed and Cambria that I was used to, but that's okay. That's normal. There were a couple drum fills that I heard that kept the same prog feel that Coheed is known to offer. Vocals were good, but they left a little something to be desired.

I am looking forward to what the band has to offer since this will not be a concept album. The album is due to release on October 9, 2015 and I'm sure we'll get more news about the album as it comes closer, and probably another single.

Check out the single below.
