Great albums. Like both, but I think should listen to them more times in order to fully appreciate there greatness. By now, I incline to Thick As A Brick.

TAAB for me. A Passion Play was where Tull massively over played their hand, though like TFTO it's not the unmitigated disaster it's sometimes made out to be either.

Passion Play is over-wrought IMO. Too many notes and not enough ideas. Thick as a Brick for me.

Love 'em both but Thick as A Brick is such a classic. I think that APP is more 'interesting' musically.
I'm not sure that Thickas a Brick loses focus from c. 5-15 on the second side as much as it is just more developmental and interesting. It may be harder to get into because of that.

I always thought APP is better than TAAB, more exciting and complex.

I thought TAAB would be well out in front. Deservedly so imo, as alongside 'Aqualung' and 'Songs From The Wood', it's their best with TAAB being my favourite by far. I always considered APP to be a rather weak attempt to better TAAB, and has some of the most cringeworthy moments I've ever heard on a prog album...

Some people despise A Passion Play. They say it's directionless - what do they mean by that? |
ahhh... they mean that they read other people's reviews of albums and
don't listen with their own ears and make up their own minds
same with the TFTO filler argument..... that's like saying Monet used too many colors in his paintings 
think APP is a great album... but still prefer TaaB.

A Passion Play is better than TAAB, IMO. Though TAAB is excellent too!

I haven't heard APP. Thick As A Brick lost my attention after the first 10 or so minutes. So I vote neither.

I like both albums VERY much but I think the most constistant of the 2 is Thick as a Brick. A Passion Play is more progressive maybe but TAAB is by far the most consistant and amazing of the two. TAAB = 5 stars, A Passion Play = 4

Best of 2006 that I've heard:
PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione
Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific

La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo
