THICK AS A BRICK

I'm still waiting for the hook with this release from one of Prog's most celebrated acts. Maybe it's my taste in Prog, but this release fails to yield anything memorable enough to make it a must have. I listen to some other Tull more regularly. The most redeeming quality of this release is the length of the two tunes and the melody of the short beginning interlude, prior to the abrupt change. Don't get me wrong, the Prog Rock effort is true to form, but when the album is over and you've found that you've forced yourself to listen to it, it doesn't leave the best memory. This release, IMO, is good, but not essential, by the ratings system here. I'd keep some other Tull releases in higher regard.
