    This is probably the most unintentionally funny CD I've heard all year. There's more than a few "This Is Spinal Tap" moments to be heard, but what do you expect from a CD with a song titled "The Antlers Of The Midnight Sun." Still, you've got to admire their sincerity and for a sludge-rock band, they hammer you over the head out pretty good.

    This time [COF] have tempered their voluminous superfuzz with scenic bliss. [Oct 2004, p.101]
  3. Uninhibited and hushed in all the right places, it’s safe to say that Comets on Fire have hit their stride.
