AQUALUNG

This album was my introduction to Jethro Tull, and within a few months of that I had bought quite a few JT albums because they're so different from what I was used to listening to. This is by far their most commercial because many define it to be "classic rock." I see it as their most blended album of electric and acoustic guitars. Also, I think that Ian Anderson did his best flute work here. Close after the time of purchase, my favorite track was "Locomotive Breath" because I have a heavy background of guitars and I think Martin Barre shines here better than on "Aqualung" or "Cross-Eyed Mary". I've tried to find some weak point in this album, but (to me) there aren't any. This isn't my favorite Tull album, but it is well deserving of five stars.
