    I had this album, but I only ever played one side of it. One-side syndrome can't happen with CDs.

    Perhaps a victim of its own success, this album has been a bit overplayed throughout the years, but that shouldn't diminish it's genius. It's a classic album and one of my favorites.

    Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull should be proud of their accomplishment, but its a shame that this is pretty much the only thing the average listener knows about them, since they produced so much good music.

    Fabulous album, I know every word to every song on this album. Saw them in person in concert in the 70's when this first came out.

    Listening to the 40th anniversary (!) remaster. This album (despite the overplayed radio hits) still amazes.

Description

After veering sharply from the blues inluences of their debut, This Was, Jethro Tull's sound quickly coalesced around jazz-tinged English folk influences and the antics of frontman/flautist Ian Anderson. But it was guitarist Martin Barre's swaggering riff off the title track of the band's fourth album that would become Tull's indelibly clichéd trademark--and the band's entrée into a long reign as arena-rock perennials. But there's a lot more to Aqualung than the riffage of that cut and its cousins, "Cross-Eyed Mary" and "Locomotive Breath." In an era when pseudo-Christian spirituality was a de rigueur, if cheap, musical commodity (from the overblown operatics of Jesus Christ Superstar to one-hit pop wonders such as "Spirit in the Sky" and "Put Your Hand in the Hand"), Anderson and company openly challenged the value of organized religion with a thematic album savvy enough to layer its thought-provoking lyrics between heavy strata of FM-friendly guitar bedrock. A cliché, perhaps; a landmark, no doubt. And a record many maintain is still Tull's finest hour. --Jerry McCulley
