AQUALUNG

I know this album is regarded by many as Jethro Tull's best album however I feel that it is a bit overrated. The title track & Locomotive Breath are excellent. I do like the album a lot but I do think that Other Tull albums such as Benefit, Stand Up & Heavy Horses are stronger examples of great tull music. The whole concept of Aqualung is Prog at its best but tracks like Up To Me & My God are fairly Weak by tull's standards. The Title track has two great sides to it- a straight rock feel & softer prog, acoustic sound. This is a very strong track for the band as it sets out the whole concept of 'Aqualung' who is a wondering tramp like character. Anderson's lyrics in the piece tell a story about this Man. the lyrics show what a genius Ian Anderson is.
