It's true. It is essential. And it IS a masterpiece of progressive music.

For a long time I wasn't too sure what people saw in Thick as a Brick that made them say that it was better than Aqualung. I have enjoyed Aqualung since I was a kid and I always saw that as the essential and perfect Jethro Tull album. However... I was wrong. The number 4 spot is quite deserving of this masterpiece of an album, even though I still like it WAY better than Close to the Edge. Hahaha. But I will let that one go. Ian Anderson is absolutely perfect as a vocalist and the flute/piccalo playing is unlike anything else. Almost brings a tear to my eye. Yeah, alright. It does bring a tear to my eye. But don't tell anyone that. Perfect album. Buy it! And when you buy it try to get the 25th Anniversary Collection album or whatever it is. Live version of Thick as a Brick and you get to listen to Ian Anderson compare himself to Gentle Giant and Pink Floyd in a live interview. Hahhaa. It is great to listen to. He seems like an awesome personality... and I have passed up seening him live... twice. Yeah... I am upset about it, too.
