Single Minded: Coheed and Cambria, Babyshambles, Serj Tankian and More

10/23/07, 4:40 pm EST

Every Tuesday Single Minded highlights new tracks hitting stores (or the Web) this week. On Fridays, come back for rarities, remixes, mash-ups and more.

Coheed and Cambria, “The Running Free” [Official Site]
Didn’t Iron Maiden do this song with more whiskey and less falsetto? Hey, we’re not hating, kids! This is a tightly-knit rock journey about coming home, an abode which may or may not be in hell.
Babyshambles, Shotter’s Nation [Full Album Stream]
In between court dates Pete Doherty penned a few tracks about the hardship of “getting out of bed.” Could it be because the ten kilos of addiction pressing on his chest?
Serj Tankian, “Empty Walls” [MySpace]
Taking political commentary from a demon-eyed metal operatic in a top hat may seem counterintuitive, but System of a Downer Tankian makes excellent use of a ball pit in this track’s video.
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Rich Woman [Full Album Stream]
Robert Plant finally found a way to avoid chillin’ awkwardly on the piano during those twelve-minute guitar-drum solos: a pristine blues remake.

Dave Gahan, “Kingdom” [MySpace Page]
Depeche Mode’s Gahan rules his own domain with marching electronic beats and unapologetic existentialism. Let’s see some angsty flying monkeys and agnostic hobbits next time, thanks.

Oh, by the way, listen to “The End Complete III: The End Complete” and then come back and TRY to put Coheed and Cambria down.

You will find it to be extremely difficult, and you’ll change you’re half-assed tune very quickly.

Jason Statham | 11/6/2007, 5:17 am EST

Coheed and Cambria are the defining rock act of the past decade. Just listen to their music for proof.

artvibe | 10/26/2007, 2:57 am EST

the running free is obviously the worst track on the album.

the rest of the album kicks almost anything this year’s ass.

Coheed & Cambria is the best band around right now! What do you want, more crap like what gets played on the radio? The new album is amazing, just like the other three!! I guess some people just have no taste!

Gravemaker | 10/24/2007, 7:02 pm EST

coheed pwns everyone, best band ever, period.

The Willing Well | 10/24/2007, 6:03 pm EST

fuck you dennis. Coheed is the best band of all time

CoCa85 | 10/24/2007, 2:34 pm EST

Look it’s blatantly obvious coheed is the best band around hands down. Only because there musicanship can’t be touched by other bands. The guitar, and the structure of the songs they write is more complex then everyone else in mainstream music. Any musician will tell you that. They have brought passion back to music anyone who has seen them play live knows that. Rolling Stone claims not to be corperate with there anti- goverment articles but then only write about bands that sell the most albums the previous month.Listen to “The End Complete” because it is one of the best rock songs written since zeppelin bitches.

Peace Coheed Fan for life

hahah… I thought the same thing about the Coheed track. Glad i’m not the only one. Now the Newos are gonna post with thier burning eyes of madness and get mad at us both… I love it.

I’ll take the Maiden track anyday… I can’t listen to these guys anymore. I’m going back to my Rush records when it was cool to sound like this.

Well.. at least these guys aren’t Fall Out Boy.
