AQUALUNG

If we talk about the pillars of progressive rock, we can't leave out this masterpiece. Aqualung, Jethro Tull's fourth album, is a concept album that deals with human nature and the duality of God and religion, presenting us with lyrics and instrumentation in the band's classic style, with folk touches and without losing that strong blues influence that has been present since Tull's beginnings. Maybe, the first listen doesn't usually find as much progressive level as we can appreciate in "Thick As a Brick" (fifth album of the band) but that doesn't take away that it can be more appreciated by many people, due to its musical accessibility and extensive style of the songs during the whole album, with tinges of tales about morality, tragedy, religion, humanity and history. If you are just starting out in progressive rock, I recommend this album as a pleasant and powerful welcome.

Honestly, all the songs are 5 stars, what more to say.... A total marvel!

10/10, 5 stars for this beautiful and epic masterpiece.
