Minstral was GOOD. not brilliant. Empty spaces and filler are the largest bites I took from MITG. Especially side two.
 
Alright, fair cop. One White Duck drags on longer than need be, and the time spent making an eighteen minute suite would have been better invested in a couple of serious songs, but you can't deny Grace!
One White Duck/0^10's my favorite song on that album other than Minstrel. Confused

who else agrees that the 7 bonus tracks are the makings of a real tull album from 1974 and most of the original 10 songs were just written for a movie and were not true songs of the band

Ladies (and gents) of leisure,
Stop your grumbling!

- 'Ladies' is a fine tune, with marvellously overblown orchestration.

- 'Backdoor Angels' is glorious. It contains my favourite Martin Barre guitar solo, which sounds even better on the remastered CD (wonderful drumming by Barriemore Barlow).

- Where on earth do you get the IDEA that 'Skating away' is too light? (It's one of the Tull's finest moments!) You'll be complaining about 'Mother Goose' or 'Life's a long song' next!

- Nearly all the other songs on WARCHILD are fine; only 'Bungle' is unbearable.

Soundtrack or not, I definitely prefer this album to the fake country airs of SONGS FROM THE WOOD or HEAVY HORSES.

Wow. That is, like, the exact opposite of popular opinion. I respect that.
