Comets On Fire - Live At The Paradiso Amsterdam 011705

Review by Keisha Wilson

Comets On Fire's Live At The Paradiso Amsterdam 011705 is a thrilling and energetic album that captures the band at their best. Recorded during a live performance in Amsterdam, the album features the band's signature blend of psychedelic rock, blues, and punk, all delivered with raw power and intensity.

The album's opening track, "Dogwood Rust," sets the tone with its driving rhythm and scorching guitar solos. From there, the band launches into a series of high-energy tracks, including "Lucifer's Memory," "The Bee and the Cracking Egg," and "The Antlers of the Midnight Sun," all of which showcase the band's virtuosic musicianship and electrifying stage presence.

Throughout the album, Comets On Fire demonstrate their mastery of dynamics, seamlessly shifting between explosive, riff-heavy sections and quieter, more introspective passages. The album's standout track, "Wild Whiskey," is a perfect example of this, with its haunting, bluesy intro giving way to a thunderous chorus that's impossible not to headbang along to.
