both good not great albums IMO, but slight edge to Comus for its weirdness alone

First utterance is quite challenging but after getting used to it it's briliant. I think this album is the best debut ever (followed by "Phalus Dei" and ITCOTCK) and better than any Tull's album including TAAB, Songs from the wood and Aqualung that I truely love. So this is my vote - FU

I didn't know that you're so serious about others' OPs, Paul.

Stormwatch. Utterance is a once every decade listen....and then I remember why it took ten years.

First Utterance for sure, its classic!
I'm sort of a half-fan of Jethro Tull, and never been able to get into stormwatch much.

First Utterance is an exhilarating far out fun-ride and pure progfolk perfection - while Stormwatch is "up there" with Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die!, War Child and the rest of Tull's forgettable three star albums.

I like Stormwatch (probably in my top five Tull albums) but I have never heard the Comus album. The album cover is beyond disturbing and I've only just realised that what I thought were shoulders could be the hind haunches of an animal given birth to a whatever it is. Yep great.

I prefer Comus but voted for Jethro Tull, as listening to First Utterance whilst all alone on a desert island would no doubt give me nightmares.

Stormwatch. Not my favourite Tull, but First Utterance is too difficult listening for me.

Stormwatch. I think it's one of Tull's more underrated albums and it has aged very well.
First Utterance is a very distinctive and adventurous album, but I think that it is rather overrated. |
