You can almost always count on Anonymous 4 to crank out exceptionally good albums of early music, but this one of special interest because it contains songs dealing with the end times-- the end times circa 1000 AD, that is. It's also a good album to play when someone you know is nattering on about 2012. People have it fairly easy these days, especially compared to the plagues and pervasive filth of Medieval Europe. Jury's still out on whether the music's better though.
