After listening through Coheed and Cambria's The Afterman countless times over the past few days, I decided that now would be an appropriate time to rank them. I'm doing this entirely for myself so I can come back in a few months and see how much my taste has changed. Ranking the top half of this list was really difficult, almost like choosing a favorite child. That being said, here it goes.
1. Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute
2. Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant
3. Gravity's Union
4. Number City
5. Key Entity Extraction IV: Evagria the Faithful
6. The Hard Sell
7. Mothers of Men
8. Goodnight Fair Lady
9. Away We Go
10. Key Entity Extraction III: Vic the Butcher
11. 2's My Favorite 1
12. Dark Side of Me
13. Pretelethal
14. Key Entity Extraction II: Holly Wood the Cracked
15. The Afterman
16. Subtraction
17. The Hollow
18. Iron Fist
Overall, I love the direction(s) that Coheed took with this double release. They managed to stay true to themselves while still experimenting with multiple new sounds and directions. The Afterman, at least after the first 20-30 listens, seems a strong enough release to snuggle up next to GA:1 and IKSSE:3 and compete for the best Coheed album.
