BENEFIT

I really did not enjoy this album, way back when, when I first got hold of it. Today I still don't like the album opener "With you there to help me" at all - it rings very dischordantly on my eardrums and I don't like the way the flute is used through the track. "Nothing to Say" is mundane for me - the name of the track says it all for me and it gets very monotonous. "Inside" is a track that doesn't do anything for me whatsoever and for me it just goes on and on. "Son", to my ears is purely noise. "For Michael Collins.........." is the first track on the album that I enjoy and I like it a lot. "To Cry You a Song" doesn't send me screaming from the room however I wouldn't rush to put it on a compliation cd of my favorite tracks. "A Time for Everything" to me sounds like just about every other preceding track - that's my problem with this album I think, I find it too repetitive and too monotonous. "Teacher" is much much better - very good track for me and one that I would put into a self made Jethro Tull compilation. "Play in Time" is another that I enjoy. "Sossity......" is a good closer to the album. I enjoy four tracks from the album but I can't bring myself to want to listen to the others again. I know that there are many who love this album so I'm not going to insult it - it obviously has a lot of worth. From me a three star rating due to the tracks that I do enjoy and due to the fact that there must be something that I missed however I personally won't be looking for what that may have been.
