"Dogwood Rust" barrels in with twin guitars ablazing before emerging from a classic rock chrysalis with an epic prog arrangement that would make Geddy Lee shit himself silly. "Lucifer's Memory" is a fluttering, gentle ramble of sweet howling, whiskey-soaked piano and quietly clambering drums that abruptly escalates into a volcanic, phase-shifting apocalypse. The most straightforward cut is "Holy Teeth," a fire-breathing rock 'n' roll dragon that tramples through the lush harmonies and carefully orchestrated chaos that constitute the bulk of Avatar's soundscape. Such meticulously sculpted songs deserve copious repeat listenings. But do yourself a favor and invest in the right headphones; your face will thank you.
