Critique Oblique and THAT line ruin APP from being perfect (to me) just for this simple reason.

Like seriously, man I love playing Tull at work on my speaker I keep by the cash register because they're generally a safe for work bands and all ages appreciate it for the most part but if I don't omit this track from the queue when spinning APP on Spotify (which is masterpiece down to it's creepy cool cover art of the Ballerina lady) then the old woman buying her eggs is gonna end up hearing all about how her little sisters immaculate virginity wings away on the burly shoulder of a young horse named George. 😂

The ice cream lady wetting her drawers to see you in the passion play has nothing on that one

Tulls Biggest Leap

Interested to know what you guys think is the biggest transition Tull ever made -- not in membership -- but in style/sound pre-Zealot Gene. Throughout their career they were obviously evolving/progressing to various degrees, going through different phases. But where would you place the biggest leap/change -- not necessarily the best, mind you, but the BIGGEST change of direction. Where did they most starkly stop sounding like the band they were before?

I've chosen, to me, the most obvious contenders...but feel free to select Other and explain why you crazy Christmas album fans.

J-Tull Dot Com: Another Cast of the Net

I just finished listening to it and I wonder what you guys think of it.

For me, it was definitely an improvement of an album which was already quite fun to listen to. Wicked Windows and Spiral continue to be the highlights of the album, of course. And the new songs... I think they are valuable additions, especially the instrumental Recollection Number 5 and Sad Suit, which definitely deserved a place in the main album, maybe replacing El Nino.

The live numbers are also great, Hunt by numbers and Dot com sounded even better than the studio versions.

Another surprise for me was the remix version of The secret language of birds, which sounds far superior than the original, in my humble opinion. I wonder whether Ian is considering a remix for that entire solo album, which would be very welcomed.

I'm no music expert so this is as far as my point of view goes. :) Lemme know if you guys agree with me or nah.

Dotcom boxset. Another Cast of the Net.

It's here a day early thanks to Burning Shed! 😀 As you can see, it's a lot thinner than the Chrysalis box sets like the Under Wraps one. But it's not as slim as the Xmas set. Looks like it'll be a good read and I'm just listening to it for the first time. Loving Martin's lead guitar parts in the 5.1 mix, really in your face! 🤘🏻

I wasn't a huge fan of the album when I first got back around 2002 or whenever, but it grew on me. I think it's one of their better "later" albums.

Roll on Crest of a Knave!

“Bands like ELP, Yes and Genesis were seen as over-the-top, showing-off kinds of performers. And to some extent I felt that, too”: Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson decided to lampoon prog and ended up making “the mother of all concept albums”

Why do i like the songs so much?

Because within each rock-song classical-music-elements are used, like:

Tempo changes

Melody changes

Volume changes

Instrument changes.
