After a string of masterpieces, the fatigue here makes itself felt.

    In my opinion, the fatigue is most evident in "War Child," a record that feels breathless even though it tries to regain the freshness of the song format. This somewhat misses the mark because it is the most ambitious, and the overall quality doesn’t quite support such compositional-thematic-musical ambition. However, it does have some very high moments, that's true.

    This 3.5, then there are War and Too Old that completely miss the mark. But in between, there's Minstrel, which remains one of my top picks from them.

    Indeed. Let's say that the period '73-'77 was a bit schizophrenic. After the mediocre Too Old, they came out with an album that for me is a true Masterpiece, from nothing to everything. After that, for a couple of years, they reestablished themselves at the excellent levels of "Heavy Horses" and the good "Stormwatch."

    Yes, Songs their latest masterpiece, released in full punk. But the Cavalli Pesanti don’t excite me, just like Stormwatch. Then let’s not even go there; these synthetic sounds hurt my heart. And my pancreas.

    The Jethro with synthetic sounds did not match well, regardless of whether you like them or not, in my opinion. They made 2-3 good albums even after, but nothing essential. However, TAAB II was a pleasant surprise. Still, I can already understand "Stormwatch" (it's significantly inferior to the other two, even though it's good), but Heavy Horses is a joy to listen to, galloping along, come on. For me, that's the last great album by the Tull.

    I'm not pleased with all this foul language in my collection... so for me (and this is the verb...) 68-72 up to thick 5 masterpieces... then Passion 3, minstrel 4, too old to... 2.5, song from 5 heavy horses 4... then you tell me why I stopped buying their records.

    I don't give grades, but just today, since it's the 31st, I would say Stand Up - Aqualung - Thick - Songs From those at 5. This Was, Benefit, Minstrel, and the Horses on the next step down. Passion and Stormwatch at 3.5, and War Child barely scraping by. Too Old 2 (really just salvaging the title track and another one). I must say that from 1980 onwards, the only truly bad album by the Tull is "Under Wraps" from 1984. The others may not be particularly successful (like "A" from 1980) or even good albums, which, if you don’t listen to them, you’re still fine because you already have their best, but if you happen to listen to them, they are pleasant ("Broadsword and the Beast" from 1982 or "Catfish Rising" from 1991).

Posthumous album after Hendrix's death, it is not part of the hundreds of recordings discovered and later released, but is actually a fully recorded album and the first without the Experience. The usual Jimi, yet another masterpiece!

    I have always had doubts about albums released after "First Rays of the New Rising Sun," which was, in all respects, the new album (released after 27 years, if I’m not mistaken) after "Band of Gypsys." First Rays is a masterpiece (just unreleased tracks recorded, I think, between '68 and '70). All the others released afterwards gave me the impression of compendiums of already released songs in different versions, perhaps with a few unreleased tracks here and there, but I might be wrong.
