This is not the same 4 stars I gave to War Child. Its more a "c'mon, why all the bitterness on this one?" kind of four stars.

One of my theories of why Jethro Tull albums are not so highly rated is that people grasp to one of Jethro Tull musical caracteristics and then are frustrated that this caracteristic is not insistently played through a thousand albums.

Too Old to Rock'n' Roll... is exactly that: a great album, very mature, straight forward (with some backlashes, I guess) and great production. In what other Jethro Tull album you have a story, told in great cartoons (serious, the work of Dave Gibbons is aweosme!), with four great guest musicians? Oh, the suberb voice of the gorgeous John Glascock really made his appearence in this one, and its not praised enough.

People are giving two stars to this album without remembering the meaning of it: its only for fans. No way, man! This album is a good addition to anyones library, if you can dig it.
