THICK AS A BRICK

Wow! is all I can say after listening to Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull. When I first recieved the album, I was quite skeptical as to how much I would enjoy the album. After listening through the album for the first time, I was amazed, yet quite bored of the 40+ extraneous minutes. But after I listened to the album for 3 times, I was hooked on it, despite the fact that there are some slow parts in the album. All of part one is completely excellent, while part two from about minute 30 to minute 40 went extremely slow. But at the end of the album, Ian Andersen really picked up the slack with one of the best endings I have ever heard of a song. This album releases the true potential of Ian Andersen, unlike his most famous (but still excellent album) "Aqualung."
