Luv it........don't pay attention to the negative reviews. It shines like a beacon in the Tull catalogue.

I had to admit that A is one of those JT albums I don't listen. Decades ago I didn't like it and never tried again.

I never liked the album much, but years later a friend gave me some bootleg tapes of a few showd from that tour. The live versions were much better, and gave me an idea of what Anderson was trying to do.

I still don't listen to the album more than once every few years.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Not of fan of A, though I really tried.  I thought the presence of Dave Pegg's bass and Eddie Jobson's electric violin would bring a folkier, more organic sound, but that production....and those songs - outside the instrumental jig on side 2....and the fact that the album was really hyped by the press as a return of sorts.  I never heard any of these songs on FM radio, and I'm sure that not many have ever shown up on a concert setlist.  I still have the LP on the shelf somewhere.....can't bring myself to sell it 'cause I remember the day and why I bought it (ain't it funny how that happens). 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
