THICK AS A BRICK

A good album by Jethro Tull, but Thick as a Brick combines very much things I don't like in music. If I have to give more than 3.5 stars, I just shan't do this. Of course, the album contains some very good ideas, but they aren't developed so perfectly. I believe they are revealed in training manner. I mean these ideas have been collected and converted into an album. Something like a session in studio, but regretfully only one session! I highly appreciate one merit in music and it is: the harmony! I can't find enough harmony in Thick as a Brick. The album lacks of quality, because of the presence of so much repetitions. The other negative moment is fading away of the sound in such a illogical moments. The sole positive moment here is the musicianship - almost perfect, but the songwriting is average! I shall compare the album to Osanna's Palepoli. These two albums have the same structure, but I think Palepoli is better album and I gave it 4 stars. Here the case is different for me - 3.5 stars. In my opinion the most overrated album on PA site!
