I thought Fuchsia was pretty decent, and it's an impressive album for something that was released in 1971. However, I don't really think it's fair to compare it to First Utterance (which tends to come up from time to time). Comus' debut had a completely different sound than the folk music that came before it, while Fuchsia's does have a few similarities to that of their predecessors, such as the typical folk-oriented vocals and the occasional uniform guitar work. Of course, this album does have a lot of originality with its complex/layered compositions and the inclusion of the violin and cello.

Two tracks that really stood out to me were "Another Nail" and "The Nothing Song" while I found "Me and My Kite" to be rather boring...

Anyways, I voted "good."

EDIT: By the way, I'm happy to see we have a few people participating in this. I hope it gains more in the future.
