I kind of think that every Tull album is more or less tied from Stand Up through Heavy Horses - then the rest have ups and downs.  

Aqualung - the band fully coming into their own, interesting mix of heavier rock, longer compositions, and tiny personal confessional pieces - truly a work of beauty

TAAB - something that makes the musician in me tremble in awe - the audacity of pulling it off, and they way they did it - Ian writing bits overnight and the band learning it and playing it the next day - and the sheer inventiveness required to make a 44 minute song never boring - just amazing

But lets talk about Under Wraps.....

Neither a favorite of mine - too much muck to wade thru on TAAB and while I dig Martin's playing in general, it's too samish throughout A'lung, especially the leaning on the acoustic guitar for much of the second half.  I much prefer TAAB to A'lung but haven't put either on in yonks.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Aqualung is good but it's barely a warmup for TAAB.

Definitely Aqualung for me. I have found Thick as a Brick to be a slog to get through most of the time (not that I have listened to either in full for many years -- I own both on cassette). I prefer all of the pre-TaaB albums to TaaB.

Aqualung. Never been much of a fan of Brick. I’m more of a Passion guy.

 I went with Aqualung here. TAAB has some great moments but I find it hard to sit through the entire album/song.

Both brilliant, but I prefer Thick as a Brick a bit over Aqualung.

Same here, with my favourite album overall being Jethro Tull's only Symphonic Prog album..... "Ian Anderson Plays the Orchestral Jethro Tull." Thumbs Up

by far Aqualung

The Brick is all too over-the-top for me - much like it was intended to be according to Ian Anderson

Add me to the list. Both are fantastic and it’s hard to choose one over the other.
