 The band dismantled Metallica by being served a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Album of that year.

 Crest Of a Knave is a decent album with good songs, sometimes liberatingly fun.

Crest of a Knave signifies a turning point for Jethro Tull, ushering in a more commercial rock era with lineup adjustments and a vocal style shift due to Ian Anderson's declining voice. The album won a controversial Grammy over Metallica, highlighting its unexpected impact. Despite mixed elements, it offers enjoyable tracks, marked by Martin Barre's evolving guitar sound and the band's adaptability during later live shows. Discover Jethro Tull’s iconic Crest of a Knave and experience the bold evolution of a legendary rock band.

 I consider this Love Beach a good effort made by even demotivated musicians but always extraordinary.

 Every group that has written pages of progressive rock had to tackle such an album.

The review explores Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 'Love Beach' as a distinct and enjoyable departure from their classic prog rock style. Despite internal challenges and mixed fan reception, the album offers melodic, radio-friendly rock with moments of technical brilliance. It marks the end of their career while underscoring the band’s immense talent and complex legacy. The reviewer appreciates this work’s unique place in their discography, highlighting key tracks and the band’s evolving sound. Explore 'Love Beach' to hear ELP’s melodic rock evolution and discover a unique late-career gem from prog rock legends.

 The precision in execution is close to the coldness of studio work.

 It remains a Live album that perhaps distorts the sound a bit, or maybe it’s the sound itself that distorts the band.

Bursting Out, Jethro Tull's first official live album, showcases meticulous execution and a dual keyboardist lineup. While technically impressive, the album sacrifices some spontaneity and excludes key fan favorites. The sound is precise but feels somewhat cold compared to earlier live performances, with mixed results on song choices and arrangements. Discover the detailed nuances of Jethro Tull’s 'Bursting Out' live album—listen now and explore its unique blend of precision and prog rock legacy.

 Jim Wynorski - synonymous with (low) quality of genre cinema ranging from B to Z.

 Watch it and don’t make excuses, if you go on watching, be tough men and be ashamed to have watched it to the end.

This review tackles Jim Wynorski's 1992 film 'Sins of Desire,' a low-budget B-movie infamous for its poor acting, ridiculous plot, and abundant sexual and gore elements. Despite its many flaws, the reviewer finds an oddly intriguing charm in its trashy camp. Special attention is given to Jan-Michael Vincent's fall from grace and the presence of Tanya Roberts. Overall, the film is rated very poorly but enjoyed as so-bad-it's-good cinema. Dive into the wild world of 'Sins of Desire'—watch the cult B-movie and relish its campy chaos!

 I believe there’s a third lineup-identity with a completely standalone trajectory that debuts precisely with SONGS FROM THE WOOD.

 The production generally takes care to give a polished sound, and hence the true DNA of Jethro Tull is not felt.

This review examines Jethro Tull's 'Songs From the Wood' as a transformative album that represents a third distinct lineup and artistic direction for the band. It highlights the movement away from theatrical prog-rock towards a folk-influenced, polished sound. The review discusses band dynamics, production choices, and song analyses, noting high points and critiques while situating the album within the band’s career. Live performance adaptations and the underrated role of arranger David Palmer are emphasized. Dive into the evolving sounds of Jethro Tull’s 'Songs From the Wood' and rediscover the folk-infused side of this classic rock band.

 I don’t exaggerate when I say this is more Jethro Tull than Songs From The Wood, but the band refrains from instrumental interludes to maybe avoid the usual rifts with the press.

 With these pieces included and confirming Back Door Angel, Sealion, Queen Country, now we’d be talking about an album that kicks ass.

War Child by Jethro Tull is a polarizing album with a mix of folk, rock, and progressive elements influenced by its origin as a film soundtrack. The record combines strong musicianship and diverse songwriting, including some overlooked gems. Though some tracks are weaker, the album showcases Ian Anderson's creativity and the band's power. Unreleased songs from its sessions highlight what might have been an even stronger album. Its legacy is marked by passionate debate among fans and critics. Dive into the intriguing world of Jethro Tull's War Child—listen now and join the legendary prog rock conversation!

 This album seems to me to recover the general sound explored in BURSTING OUT.

 Weary album but still an album by JETHRO TULL so worth having to understand the development of sound and creativity.

Stormwatch represents a tired and somewhat detached effort from Jethro Tull as the band neared a turning point in 1979. The album revisits folk sounds but shows signs of creative fatigue and diminished group dynamics. Instrumental tracks exhibit both highlight and confusion, while health issues and lineup tensions impacted the recording. Despite its weaknesses, Stormwatch remains a vital listen for understanding the band's evolving sound and transition period. Discover the final chapter of Jethro Tull's 70s folk trilogy—listen to Stormwatch and explore the band's musical evolution firsthand.

 I find the music of these films more unsettling than the slightly chart-friendly ones with the Morante Simonetti, Argento Team.

 Contamination renounces Morante’s distorters and Simonetti’s classical rock keyboards; there are truly terrifying pieces like WITHY or FRIGHT.

Goblin's Contamination soundtrack marks a shift from their classic progressive rock to an ethereal, unsettling sci-fi atmosphere. Composed without the original core members, the music is described as authentic and innovative, featuring jazz fusion bass and advanced synthesizer use. Though darker and less chart-friendly, it is highly recommended for fans of Italian genre cinema soundtracks. The review highlights its distinct identity compared to Goblin's collaborations with Dario Argento. Explore Goblin's haunting Contamination soundtrack and rediscover a hidden gem of Italian sci-fi cinema music.

 It's not a classic, neither of Jethro Tull nor of rock itself, rather, it’s a Techno-Rock experiment and should be understood as such.

 Martin Barre... reaches the pinnacle here, an exceptional guitarist, just watch his live performances from those concerts.

Jethro Tull's 'Under Wraps' is a divisive yet intriguing album marked by its heavy use of drum machines and synthesizers. The album represents a conscious techno-rock experiment led by Ian Anderson and Peter Vettese, notable for its unique sound different from classic Jethro Tull. Despite fan and critical pushback, live shows underscored the tracks' strength. The review highlights the musicianship and creative risks, considering this album the last important original work of the band. Explore the groundbreaking and divisive sounds of Jethro Tull's 'Under Wraps' – listen now to experience this unique techno-rock journey.

 It's a painfully pop record, by the time the rest of the band could have had a hand in it, it was already too late.

 Definitely an inferior record to listen to just to escape the band’s classic routine. Nothing more.

This review analyzes Jethro Tull's album 'Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die!' as a controversial and transitional work in the band's career. It highlights personnel changes, orchestral experimentation, and a shift toward a pop and glam sound. Though lacking the band's rock spirit and instrumental highlights, the album offers some memorable moments. Overall, it is seen as a patchy effort with limited live and chart success, but still worth a listen for fans tracking the band's evolution. Explore the highs and lows of Jethro Tull’s pivotal album – listen to 'Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll' and experience the band’s bold transition.
