If I remember my Greek mythology, Comus was the God of Anarchy and Festivity. And so, the band which took their name decided it was only right to record an album which reflected those values, although, in my opinion, I think it strays a bit too far to the anti-social side of the fence. The band's general aggro-folk sound could be seen as trail-blazing to today's genre-delimited crowds, but for my taste, many of these tracks just mess around for too long - going here and there through assorted passageways - and whenever they resolve themselves, it's unnecessarily tortured. If you are into this kind of weird folk gig, try the Incredible String Band, who were similar technically, but far more varied with many more albums to explore - and a really interesting career arc to boot - but yet have seemingly received a tenth of the notice Comus has for this one kooky, out-of-left-field record.
