'Curious Ruminant' finds Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson yet again floating on a cloud of neo-classical massage parlour music. This one however is a solid set of melodic, flute-tinged rock in the style of the group's late 70s Folk-themed albums like 'Heavy Horses' and 'Songs From the Wood'. In slight contrast to the previous two studio releases, this 9 track album is somewhat more concise and accessible- the only cons being Anderson's failing stage whispers and the lightweight production which undermine the muscularity of the band- particularly the guitars. This sameness of approach does not serve Ian Anderson well and I strongly believe that a different producer with a younger set of ears would energise the Tull sound next time. Having said that, this third album in as many years is a step above the previous two.
