"I hate to say it, if only some very geeky rockist somewhere will take offense, but Comets on Fire are what Hawkwind aspired to. This is the most scary cannibal hippy music you can imagine. Pointless effects, eyeball exploding feedback, sick inducing arches of squealing freakout. Goddamn, I say goddamn. In other words, it rocks harder than any of you MFers.
GODDAMN!"
Perfect party music

"If you purchase this slice of mad genius, I guarantee you will experience the following symptoms. Pure adrenalin screams out of the speakers. The most out of control sound erupts all around you. A sonic fireworks display going off for a while. A mellow moment appears and is eaten alive by feedback. Then they REALLY get crazy for the last two songs. Amazing energetic rawk power. Forget those guys on MTV. Forget that one underground group you like cuz your friend is in it. Comets own you."
Who said psychedelic music was finished?

"Pink floyd: Hawkind:Tangerine Dream:Kluas Shultz and a host of other psychedlic bands now--- Comets on fire
This band is simply great the music it's surprisingly fresh and each tune dictictive and truly progressive.
Do yourself a favour and by this on faith alone...their Blue Cathedral recording is pretty special too."
You know how Mogwai can be really intense for like... 8 seco

"... well, this is an entire record of unbelievably balls-out the sun-is-exploding sonic mayhem a la that too seldom repeated explosion in Like Herod by Mogwai. If that makes sense to you, then I bet you already own the record; if it doesn't make sense to you, you might not be ready for this. It's that kind of a world (b/w) with this record. It's goddamn ferocious."
