It wasn't Jethro Tull any more. To me Stormwatch was their last album. Everything after that seemed like an Ian Anderson solo album. He was always the leader but he was never Jethro Tull to me.

A is a fArking monumentAl, underAppreciAted 5 stAr Album (IMHO)

As is A Passion Play.

Most Tull since Stormwatch is a bit patchy. I did find Roots to Branches to be the last real classic - tunes so good not even the occasional drum machines could bring 'em down. Broadsword was odd. A great Tull album with synths plastered rather tackily all over it.

TAAB2 is distinguished -if that is the word I want - by a vocal seriously in decline. Not the magic of TAAB either.

Vague resemblances to other bands didn't help matters, ZZ Tull, Jethro Straits etc. Still, the 1969 - 1979 releases (except for Too Old which was a bit of a step down) is all well and fine. The remasters are excellent - beware CDs with the LP content dumped to disc. SFTW especially sounded horrible before it got tarted up.
