 'Under Wraps' is Jethro Tull’s worst album: cold, too technological, not acoustic enough, not melodic enough, and especially lacking the flute that made the band famous.

 It’s official: the most horrendous song Jethro has ever written is General Crossing, a pointless piece that communicates nothing, except perhaps annoying sounds.

Jethro Tull's 1984 album 'Under Wraps' represents a significant stylistic misstep, characterized by cold, overly electronic production and a lack of the band's signature flute. While a couple of tracks hint at the classic sound, the album overall is flat and widely regarded as the band's weakest. Despite moderate chart success, it led to a hiatus and a return to form in subsequent releases. Discover the story behind Jethro Tull's most controversial album—listen to Under Wraps and judge for yourself!

 Sacred Heart is played by a "god" (pardon the pun), but perhaps the only problem is that it occasionally lacks in compositional level.

 Rock’n’Roll Children is indeed the masterpiece of ‘Sacred Heart’, with a beautifully recorded sound.
