  • Summary: This seven-song follow-up to 2004's 'Blue Cathedral' adds a bit more melody and cleaner sound to the band's usual noise assault.

  1. Avatar is further proof that Comets On Fire are one of the most relevant bands of this decade. [Sep 2006, p.214]

    There is an unhinged, maniacal desire to cross on over into the cosmos on Comets on Fire's (frankly) totally awesome new record. [#21, p.100]
  3. In terms of sheer intensity of sound, it's as if the Comets of old have been miniaturized and are looking up at you from inside a Grateful Dead lunch box.

    Mind blowingly amazing. One foot in the past and one foot in the future and boots high in lysergics. Best tasted through a haze of smoke.

    the only reason i kind of enjoyed this movie is because my brother was repeating the lines in engrish, yes engrish. other than that, i truely despised this movie. it was a waste of sam worthingtons acter ability, and im not even sure he is a good actor. a complete rip off of many different movies such as dances with wolves. when i heard that people in the theaters clapped when they saw the us marines get killed i felt like shooting james cameron in the face while shouting "yea get some mofo" im thinking about enlisting in the marines, and i hate the way this movie portrays them. its worse than the marines in jarhead (although i still liked jarhead). unfortunatly my brother bought this movie on blu ray instead of hurt locker which was a much much better movie. dont get mad at me for saying that because metacritic agrees with me!!!!! hell yea!!!!!!!!!!
