Ugh

"How dare Comus follow up the brilliantly insane First Utterance with this very mediocre second utterance? I don't know what the hell they were thinking, but all the life was drained from the vivacious rhythms and lyrics of the first album. This sounds like normal stale classic rock nonsense from the 1970s.



In honesty I would be far easier on this album if it were not made by Comus. In fact, I am pretty sure that it is incorrect to even call the musicians on this album Comus, because they sound completely different and have none of the violent character of the first album.



I mean I was listening to the first song or so and I thought that it was just a weak first track, but then it kept on going in much the same vein. I think that the band quit doing acid or something after recording First Utterance because this is stale and tired rubbish in my book."
