 In its day, seems everybody threw a drum solo on the ol' vinyl. Maybe they felt if Bonzo, Palmer and every other drummer could do it well.....

Also, drum solos seem to be the "breaktime" for everyone else to go backstage and change costume

I'd heard the albums a few times and rather liked it. Then I heard it on headphones and it blew me away! The use of stereo on Anderson's flute in particular adds to the albums unique quality.

I've often thought of trying to identi

 Great disc! I don't have much to add to my review of this classic, beyond affirming that it's my favourite Tull album, and one of the pinnacles of prog.
