If this is genuine, it is following up on one of the greatest prog rock concept albums ever.

IA always said TAAB was a parody of the genre; I am fearful that if this is genuine, TAAB2 will be a parody of itself alone.

True, there's always the issue that IA's voice has deteriorated badly in recent years (unfortunately, the last 3 times I've seen Tull, IA couldn't carry a tune in a bucket)

I must admit I would be worried if Roger Waters announced DSOTM2.
New material is always interesting, but to tie it in with previous success seems wrong and a touch desperate.
Hopefully IA believes it is a worthy successor to the '72 album, I'm certainly keen to hear it with an open mind.

PlanetRock will be having an interview with IA. They will be discussing it and hopefully playing some snippets.

It is not a hoax. It is definitely happening and Martin is NOT involved. Oh how much more excited I would be if Martin was playing on this project. It just isn't the same without him. See below



Anderson has even created an on-line St Cleve Chronicle Newspaper Website for the 21st century TAAB2. See here:

http://www.stcleve.com/

Looks like Jeffrey and John (Evan) were not involved this time in the writing of the newspaper. But there are a number of revisited old favourite characters from 1972.

Lets hope this recording is not a stinker. Oh and Ian doesn't sing at all.

Released on apr 2., I read in Prog ears >>> Sounds like a bad hoax, and IF it were real, I'd expect a mjor disaster
 
Somehow, I can't magine anderson taking this kind of risks , unless he's really grown to hate TAAB's impact on his career
 
Most likely without this dude's cooperation.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
