Someone here may not agree, I know, but to me, the fifth album by Ian Anderson's band remains a masterpiece and certainly ranks among their best albums, the last at this level before a somewhat less inspired period (though not the absolute last masterpiece, there will be another...). The first of their two truly "Prog" albums but unlike the subsequent one, fresh and entertaining in both halves. Complex lyrics, somewhat obscure but excellent, with Anderson really at his peak.
