I read somewhere that Jethro Tull will make an announcement about something happening 125 days from now. That's a long time to even worry about it. however, it does make one wonder. It has been many years since a Tull album has come out. also, the rumours are strong about the band doing a 40th anniversary tour of "Thick as a Brick" where they'll play the album in its entirety. Either way, I think it would be good to hear something from the Tull camp.

About two weeks ago I started a blog that covered various aspects of the band YES and got some pretty good responses from it. I decided to start this week with a series of postings on Jethro Tull. Please take the time to check the whole thing out over at my blog and feel free to comment here or over at the blog's page: http://leonblogaswords.blogspot.com/

They seriously better release someting in 125 days. If, after 125 days, the only announce the release of something, then I might take a crowbar to their publicity agent or whatever. God.

TAAB in its entirety?  At their age?  I doubt they've played in whole for decades, if they ever really did other than in '72 .  I do hope it's not a "we're through" announcement, but they certainly deserve their retirement; of all the prog bands, I think they've probably toured the most.

Well, I for one would see them again.

As would I, were this to be the case. That would be so keen. I can't quite believe it, of course.

In the last issue of CRPR Anderson said that it was likely there would be a new Tull album.

You may have the wrong album:
From jtull.com:
 
"Aqualung 40th Anniversary Tour hits USA/Canada in June, Ian solo dates in Latin America, and more!"
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Well you'd best rustle up Bunker, Abrahams, and Cornick. THAT was Tull. The rest was/is Ian Anderson and friends.

I think I read that somewhere too, but it was no reliable source. Hopefully its true though. I know they have some new songs that could use a home.

Well announcing that you're going to be making an announcment seems to work pretty well for Valve...

Here is the thing though, I read somewhere that there will be another Tull album. I also have read more than once that Ian is not that  interested in rock anymore, instead he prefers something more in tune with British folk songs (which in a way, it means a more docile and quieter Tull). The days of albums full of raw energy are long gone. Ian is an excellent song writer but time has a way in slowing down the fastest one on all of us. I don't know how good a new Tull album will be. The last album I really enjoyed was "Crest Of A Knave". The albums that followed seemed to copy the same formula but not quite the same.

For me, I rather they go ahead and do a "Thick as a Brick" tour were they play the whole thing from beginning to end. I'd go see that! Then, maybe I'll be ready for a new "docile" Tull album.

Dunno about 'docile' the acoustic songs of Tull are beautiful. I would be happy with an album of new gentle Tull songs.

The acoustic Tull songs may be beautiful but to me the best Tull albums offer a good balance between acoustic and more energetic songs. I liked "Crest of a Knave" because it sounded different at the time. It was, to me, the first of the "gentler" Tull albums and had a sound not too dissimilar to late Dire Straits. However, albums like Songs form the Wood have a bit more energy to them (plus Barrie Barlow who is an incredible drummer). I wish (and I'm aware theat is only a wish), that the band would come out with another album that's more balanced like "Songs" or "Heavy Horses" were.

That's just my opinion.

Perhaps Ian Anderson is going to announce an album that other people had a hand in? Far-fetched, I know.

I think either way, it will be nice to have something new from the Tull camp. On my blog I started a post regarding people's perceptions of Ian as well as some anecdotes form when I met him.
