(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Dutch group Angels & Agony have hit the mark with their second full-length release, "Avatar." Their debut album, produced by Ronan Harris of VNV Nation, allowed them to break through the newcomer barrier. "Avatar" proves that the group does not have to resort to the assistance of a well-known scene celebrity to churn out a mind-blowing Electro album. Mastermind Reinier Kahle and his band build a perfectly irresistible mixture of deep lyrics, atmospheric sounds, strong melody, and fat production values. Without flirting with any sort of short-lived trendyness, "Avatar" will take the clubs by storm in addition to becoming a timeless effort that one will still listen to ten years from now. It is not out of the question that this album could easily take Angels & Agony to the top, making them a serious rival for the biggest names in the scene."
