Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness
Ten Speed (of God's Blood & Burial)
Fun song to play on bass! That's all I have to say about that haha.
Crossing The Frame
I had a fun time learning this song, Mic Todd plays a very melodic and funky bass line throughout. There is a lot of movement in the bass during the verses and pre-choruses, and then it all goes down to basics for the choruses, allowing the vocal melody to stand out more at that point. Another really cool track.
Apollo I: The Writing Writer
Track 6 of the album and a big favorite of mine. As usual Mic Todd does a fantastic job of making the parts slightly different and keeping it very interesting in the process. I'm not much of a slapper but I gave it my best 😁
Once Upon Your Dead Body
This song exemplifies one of my favourite things about Coheed: their ability to layer catchy melodies on top of more catchy melodies to create an amazing overload of melodic goodness haha. The bass part is not too complicated, but as usual Mr Todd does a great job of varying the fills to keep it interesting throughout.

Track 10 of "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness". A simple song to play on bass, as the focus is all on the vocal melodies. However, the interplay between bass and drums is pretty awesome, as usual for Josh and Mic.
Mother May I
This is track 11 from the album "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness"
The song is actually in 4/4 throughout, even though it sounds like the time turns around a couple of times during the verses. It's a very neat trick that Josh Eppard pulls off with the drum beat.

The Final Cut
I'm sure you know the full title of this one is "The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut" from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. It is not a very complicated song, it just has 3 chords Em - C - D, but it is fun to play since it's a comfortable tempo in 6/8 time.
