J-TULL DOT COM

I finally caught up with this album a couple of days ago and can't stop listening to it. Just can't understand why so many other reviewers are 'down' on it. To me, this is Tull's most consistent and engaging work since the 70's and Barre is on form with a modern twist. Another positive is that the flute is very dominant. Yes, the album is diverse, but highlights Hunt by Numbers, El Nino and Far Alaska hold the whole thing together and give it a good shape. So...plenty of well paced riffing, flowing flute and Ian's on form lyrics/singing....what more can I ask? Well, I guess the creature on the cover could have at least worn some pants!
