It was time for Ian Anderson to hang it up a decade ago, at least vocally. Instrumentally, I'd love an album without the painful chore of listening to the agonizing gasps and wheezes. Please and thank you.

"Former Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre described Ian Anderson’s decision to split the band in 2012 as his “worst mistake” and added that even a one-off reunion would be “difficult” for him.

Oh, and the album was shelved one year due to the pandemic, but still they took enough time to make it.

Yup, I would say so. Still can't imagine Tull without Martin Barre, but that's another story.

This album has been in the works for more than two years. I certainly hope it's qualty reflects that. Btw, Aqualung was released 50 years ago yesterday.

Why the amazement? Most of his 'solo' albums have quite good ratings. I personally think that Thick As A Brick 2 and Homo Erraticus are excellent albums.
I mean, I always hope that new releases maintain or elevate an artist's catalogue. Sometimes they deliver and sometimes they don't. Ian has a pretty good record (no pun intended) on this front.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

The Zealot Gene is the title

All I have to say to this is: please be good, please be good, please be good....

Discus! Personally, i'm not going to get my hopes up, but I really hope that this album is a genuinely good late career release that many of us can at least get behind musically.
