I have to agree with you. A 45 minutes long song with absolutely nothing acting as filler, THAT is definitely a Masterpiece.

I have always liked A Passion Play better, although both are fabulous albums.

It depends on my mood, if I want to hear the folky side of Tull I go for TAAB but if I want to hear something a little more challenging I go for APP. So both.

Side 2 of TAAB loses focus after a fantastic first side. A Passion Play would

Yes, and thats why I pick APP...well, actually I also like side one from APP more than side one from TAAB... but its true, side two of TAAB does lose a bit...

A passion play for me. The soft ballad at the beginning and repeated all over TaaB has never made it for me. I kindda like it, but sometimes I find it simply boring. On the other hand, the amazing overture of APP hooks me and never lets me go....I love it and I'm gonna hear it right now!!!!!

I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

I can't choose. They are both perfect. A Passion play is more prog, tAAB has more accessible melodies.

Neither. Aqualung is better than both together. TAAB sounds very repetitive at some times. APP is too unfocused, se kind of TOTO (yes) bad developed. |
That's it !

A Passion Play. Patchier it may be, but it's also wilder, funnier and downright rockier than its sister album.

Although being an old Tull fan, I've bravely chosen last offered option.

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. |
Fully agreed.  |

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
