The Tull have never had a real downfall; while Yes and Genesis were fading, the Jethro kept holding strong. It's not the best, but no one can take away a 5 from them, up to and including Stormwatch.

The big day of A Passion Play is just around the corner. The review, well, I give it to Britney and other stuff.

Great review. For me, it's the best by Jethro Tull, not that it's one of the progressive albums I'm most attached to.

Jethro Tull are one of those bands that don't belong to any genre, much like The Who of the '70s (a mix of hard rock and progressive); the Tull boast a uniquely recognizable sound thanks to Ian Anderson's flute and Barriemore Barlow's drumming (the beast on the skins). It's true, they aren't strictly progressive, but who the hell cares? And above all, they have always been criticized, which is usually (at least once) inversely proportional to public consensus, which in the case of Jethro is extremely high. You, Larrok, are always the same one who wants to bash bands with a heavy hand: keep certain opinions to yourself; Jethro Tull have composed unforgettable pieces with a truly devastating impact, such as Acqualung, Minstrel in the Gallery, and many others. Not to mention the technique they had: yes, they didn't have a Wakeman on keyboards, but Anderson really knew his stuff on the flute, and at the drums, there was a worthy rival to Bruford; think about it, John Bonham 'Bonzo' once said in an interview that for him, the best drummer was Barlow of Jethro Tull, not exactly a small feat. Few bands could boast such a compact and powerful sound as they did, and above all, few bands could boast such a heavy sound as that of Jethro Tull.

Certo! Inviami pure il testo e procederò con la traduzione.

Great album, maybe the best. The review represents what the album is not: I give it 2 because I reserve 1 for the reviews of Blue, Britney, and similar people.

In my opinion, "A Passion Play" is the best. I think the Tull, in terms of technique and execution, were even better than Yes.

Hooray!

Do you mean A Passion Play and Thick as a Brick?

I just went to check, and strangely enough, for Piero Scaruffi, Bruce Cockburn is a mediocre singer-songwriter. It’s true, I always bring up poor Pierino, but how could I not? For Scaruffi, music must be anti-melodic, hyper-political, verbose, extremely long, preferably played with unconventional instruments (pots, glasses, baby bottles, forks, and various little boxes), sung with guts and with a cosmically pessimistic text, not famous, underground, feminist. Try to create a composition that encompasses all these characteristics, and you’ll probably achieve musical perfection, one of those tracks to send into space alongside Hey Jude. I’ve set up a new set of Mondialcasa pots and I’m giving it a try. You should try it too.
