Alternative PressAvatar is further proof that Comets On Fire are one of the most relevant bands of this decade. [Sep 2006, p.214]
-
Their most accomplished and astounding album to date.
-
Avatar is truly an exceptional record.
-
More often than not, Avatar is stunningly beautiful, even if the definition of that word needs to expand a bit to embrace it.
-
BlenderIf their ultraviolet jams can sometimes get lost in the gaze, here they're balanced with more crisp songcraft. [Aug 2006, p.107]
-
Ultimately, Avatar’s change in direction is hardly an unpleasant one, partially because it’s really fun to lip synch “Let it burn / Let it bleed!” while playing the air guitar on your knees, but mostly because it still rocks frighteningly hard.
-
Yeah, they're good at what they do, but what they do is just not that palatable.
