First: Don't compare this album to "Thick As A Brick" or "Aqualung". "A Passion Play" is darker, more complex and stranger than any other Jethro Tull - album.

"APP" was the second album after "Aqualung" I listened to. I didn't heard many prog-albums, just the albums from "Pink Floyd", "Aqualung" and a little bit from "The Who". So it was a totally new experience for me when I listen to "APP". It was exciting, extraordinary and just unbelievable for me.

No, after a long time, I heard many porg-albums and I would say from me that I'm a prog-expert ;-) . And "APP" is still the same for me.

This album has very complex lyrics and song-structures. The instrumentation based on flute (of course), synthesizers and saxophons which gives the album a gloomy, obscure and strange sound. But it's also very interesting and one of the fascinating albums in history of music.

With one sentence: This album is a door to a totally new world.

One of the best albums ever made, in my eyes it should be in the top 15 of prog-albums on PA.
