5 stars One of the albums in the prog rock genre that has impressed me most, is certainly Aqualung. The opening title track with its exchange of hard riffing and gentle acoustic tunes designates the whole sound of the album . 'Cross-eyed Mary' brings vivid flute and piercing guitar, while following three are more acoustic songs, among them two extremly short - 'Cheap Day Return' with only few but amazing chords, and melodicaly beautiful 'Wond'ring Aloud'. On the B side of the record where dominates the opener 'My God' there are two more highlights: 'Locomotive Breath' and closing 'Wind Up'. Last time when Jethro Tull were in my country I attended the concert and enjoyed very much in their musicianship, which lost nothing of its quality and freshness.Anderson and Barre performance, few good old songs and the pleasure was complete. At the time Aqualung was released, it raised a lot of disscussion whether was it a conceptual album or not. To me, Aqualung was masterpiece 35 years ago, it is still today and it will always be.
