'''''Comments of the Inner Chorus''''' is [[England|English]] band [[Tunng]]'s second album, released in late May 2006 on Full Time Hobby Recordings in the UK. The songs "Woodcat" and "Jenny Again" were both released as limited edition singles.

A common theme picked up on by reviewers after the album's release is that of the pastoral and organic. The use of surreal lyrics ("I'll look for a man to turn me into a hare" on the song "Woodcat", for example) led to comparisons to [[The Wicker Man (1973 film)|The Wicker Man]] and [[Brothers Grimm]]

. The album, much like its 2005 predecessor ''Mother's Daughter and Other Songs'', has noticeable [[electronica]] influences leading many to bracket the album, and by extension [[Tunng]], into the [[folktronica]] movement.

A limited edition version of the album was also released which contained two extra tracks: "Band Stand" and "Bodies".
