THICK AS A BRICK

1972, what a fabulous year this was - Trilogy, Octopus, Close to the Edge, Foxtrot !
(To name just a few from the isles)
And TAAB, of course, one of my favorites from this golden era.

Global Appraisal

A concept album rich of theatrical musicality that grabs the audience with a feeling of full immersion and continuity surely never attained before in popular music and hardly thereafter by any band.

We are masterly conducted in a succession of musical ideas that go hand-by-hand with the storytelling, developing scenes and ambiances that never cease to surprise; now calm and melodious then in a while starting to rise in a crescendo that erupts in a climax, and then again taking a different turn, engaging in an unexpected sort of "free-rock" improvisation, WOW!

Goodies

The composing/arranging is nothing short of genial, Mr. Anderson aged 25 did accomplish a work of art of great maturity, inspiration and innovative power which today 43 years later still constitutes one fundamental milestone.
