THICK AS A BRICK

Thick as a Brick is an absolutely essential masterpiece of progressive rock. It is everything a concept album should be; great lyrics, recurring themes, and great instrumental performances. The entire album is one song as a way of sort of mocking the idea of a concept album. Do not worry about the length though, find a time when you have 40 minutes to listen to music and you wont want to turn it off. Normally I am not a huge fan of Jethro Tull, but this is without a doubt one of my favorite albums. It is absolutely an essential piece of progressive music, great from the first listen and an album that I doubt I will ever tire of. If you are just getting into prog and haven't heard this album, make it the next album you buy and you will not be disappointed.
