3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The local color includes viscous head-trip organ ooze, frenetic noise-jazz drums, even languid bluesy interludes, all pushing the music toward a climax...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A 46-minute of synapse-frying, virtuoso intensity....It's a record dense with allusions.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This album keeps their bluesy freak-out in check and gives them melodic ballast. It's fantastic stuff.", "The band really start to bare their fangs on tracks that growl with animal instinct....AVATAR is further proof that Comets On Fire are one of the most relevant bands of their decade."
