I love pretty much everything up to "War Child", plus "Songs from the Wood" and "Heavy Horses"*. I don't think "Stormwatch" is bad. The lyrics on most of "Minstrel in the Gallery" (except for the title song) start to make me cringe. "Broadsword and the Beast" has an unpleasant, bloated-puffy synthesizer sound as well as pretty uninteresting songs. "Crest of a Knave" is hard to imagine as the same band - I can't stand Martin Barre's guitar sound at that time, and the lyrics are brutal. "Rock Island" and "Catfish Rising", as probably everyone will tell you, are just embarassing. I haven't heard anything since, though a friend has told me that "J-Tull.com" (sp?) is not too bad.
*I do think that "Thick as a Brick" is a bit structurally clunky, but when I consider that it was kind of a big piss-take of a concept album, it makes sense that it's that way - it's a pretty funny idea for an album. "A Passion Play" is my favourite: the saxophone and synthesizer parts sound great and the melodies are really deft. I don't know why people got mad about "The Story of the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles". "War Child" continues with similar arrangements and impressive playing (Barriemore Barlow is a superb drummer), though I'd have preferred "Bungle in the Jungle" as a non-LP single.
― Pangolino (ricki spaghetti), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 06:19 (sixteen years ago) link
But it's not offensive like ELP (whose best moments were Greg Lake's Paul McCartney/Neil Young knockoff songs w/ cheap synth solos just to remind you who's IN CHARGE HERE). And the later dumb pop hits he had, around the mid-'70s, are quite enjoyable. Normally I don't bring up Lester Bangs but his piece "Jethro Tull in Vietnam" does sum it all up nicely.
― eddie hurt (ddduncan), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 15:12 (sixteen years ago) link
1) Stand Up. One of the great, great psychedelic albums, stuffed with killer riffs and enough otherworldly moods to simulate or enhance being baked. If this album were a one-off by an obscure British folk band (a la Mellow Candle) it would fetch hundreds of $$$$ in collector's circles. 2) Aqualung. There isn't a bad song on it. The flute solo in "My God" is some scary shit. In my experience people who badmouth this are trying to prove another point, like they're cool, or even good music can get overplayed, or something.3) Thick as a Brick. Some parts drag, but there's no other album like it (I guess besides Passion Play), and most of it's engaging, not an easy thing to pull off over the course of 40+ minutes.
Songs from the Wood, War Child, Benefit, and Minstrel in the Gallery aren't bad, either, and there are timeless singles like "Living in the Past" to get off on.
There's also a ton of shitty albums--Too Old to Rock & Roll. . ., A, Stormwatch, etc. but who cares, really.
― martin hilliard, Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:29 (sixteen years ago) link
and no, Bangs is not infallible. But his central insight into Tull--no rebop--is a good 'un. And I want rebop myself.

"Wond'ring Aloud""Slipstream" (I think)"Thick as A Brick" (the intro, but many other parts, too)"Skating Away On the Thin Ice of a New Day""One White Duck/Nothing At All""Baker St. Muse""Salamander" (again, I think -- it's been awhile)"Dun Ringill"
My personal tastes tell me they also have a few very good hard rock moments, including "Minstrel In the Gallery", "Pibroch" and much of Aqualung. That and Songs From the Wood has a very cool electro-folk production

Yes yes yes. In the run up to becoming full-on prog, they created some moody and unfussy stuff. Stand Up layers all sorts of acoustic instruments with blues riffing in a way that is intuitive and natural, rather than the hyper-organized feel they soon took on. Really solid songs that would hold up outside of the textures and arrangements.
― bendy, Saturday, 4 August 2007 13:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Their true masterpiece was "A Passion Play". Jethro Tull at their most progressive was also Jethro Tull at their best.
But they did some interesting folk influenced stuff later too.
― Geir Hongro, Saturday, 4 August 2007 14:25 (thirteen years ago) link
To me, Minstrel In The Gallery through Stormwatch = classic. The expansive prog notions recompressed into concise songs without losing the progginess.
The stuff from the first heyday's great, but I don't get the urge to put it on very often.
The string of high-concept records (Thick, Passion, Too Old) I have no time for.

I went to see them live a few days ago. I only really went along to the gig after a mate said he wanted to go.
I hadn't much listened to them for 30 years, and though I wasn't a big fan I had mates who were very keen indeed and back in the day I did have a soft spot for the quirkier, pop-eyed silliness.
Before the gig I was kinda worried about all that zany 70s catweazle'n'codpiece stuff, since I figured it wouldn't have aged well...
I needn't have worried as there wasn't much of it, indeed there wasn't nearly enough of it. Stripped of the theatrics, left pretty much the music unadorned, though that did reveal some elements which I hadn't noticed before (or didn't know anything about to notice) such as the Mingus influences (though I guess the Roland Kirk stuff was always obvious).
Mainly though they sounded polite 80s rock. Barre's guitar sounded especially cleaned up, Dire Straits and (80s) Supertramp.
So not great then, mostly not even good, but now and then there were flashes about what made them interesting and did confirm there were interesting bits in the War child and earlier albums.

Cheers again for the link, that's a great show... a little sad it wasn't the full Black Sunday, but it's got a nice selection of Broadsword tracks and is a nice change from the songs that dominated a lot of the mid-late 70s sets on the deluxe reissues. Ian a little less talkative than usual, maybe that was edited out?
I've been listening to the 80s albums for the last few days... Crest of a Knave, Catfish Rising, Rock Island. Catfish definitely the strongest of the three, but wow do they ever sound like Dire Straits!

I don't think any of Tull's albums is really bad. The Stand Up - Stormwatch (arguably Broadsword) run is pretty amazing all-through and some later ones are less memorable overall (and may include more average songs) but there's quality stuff to be found on every record if you ask me.
I've often heard complaints on Ian's later voice, I don't know, I find that he loses his sneer which may have added some well-working venom to classic Tull but instead sings with more beauty on later works, such as his solo stuff like Secret Language of Birds.
I'd say Under Wraps is the weakest album. Martin Barre apparently rates that one very highly, so what do I know.
And yes: there's several 80s songs where they could easily be mistaken for Dire Straits but still I find JT at their weakest waaaay more exciting than DS at their strongest.
― Valentijn, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 12:52 (ten months ago) link
Has this been posted before?
There's a podcast called 'Talk Tull To Me' that goes through every song in chronological/album order, I listened to a bit of one last night and the two guys (natch) sound like fairly normal human beings chatting about JT, instead of two bored narcissists blabbing on about a load of in-jokes and irrelevant shit.
The episode I heard a bit of, 'Look Into The Sun', sounded decent, I will give it a proper listen although I remain a little sceptical, what can you say for 30+ mins about 'Cheap Day Return' for instance?

Thanks! A nice adjunct to the live set on the Songs from the Wood deluxe edition, which was from November/December of 1977.
In other news, the impending release of deluxe book editions of Benefit, "A", and the Broadsword and the Beast over the next year or two have been "confirmed" if you are willing to dig through some of the Tull threads on the Hoffman forums. I think only Benefit is on the cards for a 2020 release though (but nothing is really official yet).

Notes:Acquired this from one of the Tull road crew several years ago & then promptly forgot I had it. Does not seem to havesurfaced anywhere, so this should help fill in the missing gaps at The Ministry of Information. The very firsttrack on the tape is the instrumental Quartet, played over the PA in the theatre, and which can be found on theNightcap album (highly recommended). The first instrumental is also incomplete - otherwise the this is the concertin its entirety.

here's an oldie that we've utterly loathed for 16 long years, but now it's resurrected, in a slightly more trickier form that's a little more fun to play -- this one is CALLED . . . living . . . in the PAST
