Comets on Fire, last studio album, Avatar is a very good 200's psychedelic rock record offering a more dense and mellow listen whislt have explosive energetic spurts of noise rock. Alongside a nice mixture of Blues and Stoner record really give the record a textured listen and whilst the strong ties to 70's is apparant, Comets on Fire pull it off well

I love pulling up random users' lists on AOTY and RYM because then I find these weird ass obscure albums and then also sometimes they are just randomly incredibly albums. This is one of those albums where I'm like, wow god damn this is a great listen.
Favorite: Lucifer's Memory
