Crest Of A Knave easily. In fact the Chrismas Album is also good, but there are older songs with new arrange on the half of the album... It's nothing bad, it could be even refreshing sometimes, but it's not the new album for me...

Have to say Under Wraps...
I think its a great album, with a couple duds, like many Tull albums
I would have loved it if they rerecorded it later with a drummer, and with more of a classic tull sound, organ and piano, i'll bet that people turned off by the coldness of the drum machine and the synths would reassess

Crest of a Knave followed by Christmas Album and then Roots to Branches. I enjoy the others but these three stand out.

7 votes for Crest? Are you serious? This is the weakest Tull album it's almost like ZZ Top. They remastered it but polishing that turd didn't help at all.

It actually isn't IMHO. I bought it when it was released and was sold on it then and still am.
2 songs have ZZ Top-like guitar playing I.e. Steel Monkey and Raising Steam and they really are superb tracks.
Farm on the Freeway is an 80s Tull masterpiece.
Jump Start - an unbelievable rock track..
She Said She Was a Dancer is brilliant...OK it sounds a bit like Dire Straits but I'm sure Knopfler wouldn't mind writing a song as good as this.
Dogs in The Mid Winter - what's not to like?
Budapest is probably their greatest track of the past 30 years...if not of their entire career.
Mountain Men sends shivers up the spine.
The Waking Edge - OK...this is the poorest track....but IMHO it's the only one.
Raising Steam - a great closer.
It's amazing how people have differing views on songs/albums.
