Awesome mix of melotdies and intrumental sections

This album was made as Ian Anderson said to be the "Concept album of all concept albums". It is absolutely flawless, except for the fact that it is kind of hard to navigate through because of the length of the two songs with no separate sections. THIS is the band I love, as my first experience with Jethro Tull was with Minstrel in the Gallery, which was very Ian-oriented and the band was not very present on that album. This album is a wonderful change because this is very proggy and the band is extremely evident here, with fast drums, throbbing bass and great electric and especially acoustic guitars.

The Album art is also pretyy neat, as it is essentially a whole newspaper with real articles of very odd Tull-like humourous stories. The Lyrics are even in the form of an article. 1972 was definately a greta year for prog and this is no exception. Great Album, 5 stars.
