I love it all, drum part and all. My favorite is the first half of side 2 actually. The Do You Believe in the Day Part. Probably the proggiest they ever got.

this is my favorite album of all times. music is complex and very vital lyrics are kind of absurd and i love it a lot. it's very unique album cos the typical prog rock mixed with monty python sense of humor was at the time something really new. and the cover - a lot to read, btw i can't read that little comic book cos letters are too small...

HI, THIS IS C+SAR INCA. As many other prog-heads, I regard 'Thick as a Brick' as their definite masterpiece (though not their only masterpiece). I wouldn't change a thing on it (maybe, switch the string section for a mellotron, it |

By the way, it's interesting how a thread on Tull's (excellent) Thick As A Brick ends up as a discussion on Voltaire's sayings! How very highbrow, and not a little ironic given the album title.

One thing about Thick As A Brick is love it or hate it, you have to downright admire how seamlessly the musical themes fit together in this piece (except the drum solo). I happen to be quite fond of this work, and would rank it among Andersen's best. |

Easy Livin, It was not a politician but the French philosopher Voltaire who said it, although the well know version is actually a paraphrasing of the actual statement which was apparently "I detest what you write, but I would give my life t |

[QUOTE=philippe]I like the bluesy feeling they had in their first album...but sorry 'Thick as a brick' is just common, sloppy, happy & hippy music...too pop and soft folk songs. ...It's just my opinion of things. |
