In The Tail of a Comet is Dozer's first full album, released April 25, 2000 on Man's Ruin Records.

[citation needed] All songs were mixed and produced by Dozer with Bengt Backe.

Critical reception was generally mixed with a lean towards the positive.

AllMusic noted it was more reminiscent of Metallica than the genre-defining Black Sabbath, and "falls short of exceptional, but it's a satisfying effort that has more plusses than minuses.

"[1] CMJ Music Review was generally positive, indicating it was a strong visceral experience and a promising debut album, although it lacked musical depth.
