Well ok, you listened to The Grand Wazoo, so I'll force myself to listen to this deal lol.. even though it's a Jethro Tull album that's not Thick as a Brick.

Ok I can't lie.. that was very good! Wow. I'm surprised how good that was. I was not expecting that. Part 1 was great and reminded me a lot of Thick as a Brick. Lot's of just jamming out, in a very simiilar vain to that album. Part 2 stared out with some kind of boring story. Something about a hare and an owl.. or something like that lol. Then the singer sang for a little bit and then they started jamming out again, good lol. Then from like the middle until the end it was GREAT! Even better than part 1 I thought. All in all geez, I just wasn't expecting that album to be so good. I'm a little speechless. BUT, that's only 2 good albums. Gentle Giant has 10 son(Giant for a Day doesn't count lol).. at least 7. So yeah GG still wins, by a lot. But Jethro Tull's not bad, decent band I would say for sure.

What to listen to tonight... For some reason I feel like I want to listen to something else by Jethro Tull. Ok, I guess I'll go with their classic album Aqualung.

I'd say that lived up to the hype. I'm starting to take this band seriously now. Ok I knew I'd already heard the title track, Cross-Eyed Mary, and Locomotive Breath, but I didn't realize I'd also heard Hymn 43 a bunch of times(I just didn't know what the song was called). Other than that Mother Goose I liked a lot. Wond'ring Aloud was short but very good. And the last song Wind-Up was very very good(maybe the best on the album). The only song on the whole thing that I would maybe describe as filler was Slip Stream. Yeah great and classic album. It lived up to all of it. Don't know what else to say.

When you liked those, I think you will love also "Benefit", "War Child", "Minstreal In the Gallery", "Songs From the Wood", "Heavy Horses" & "Stormwatch". And really "Stand Up" is not bad too!!

That was pretty good but lagged a little in the second half. My notes.. Title track - nice happy song. Good. Like the flute and acustic guitar in Jack in the Green. Sounds good. Cup of Wonder - more energetic. actually really good. Hunting Girl - cool song. Ring Out, Soltice Bells - cool also. Velvet Green - ok song. nice flute though. The Whistler - somewhat fillerish Pibroch - a lot of good flute, decent song. Fire at Midnight - good, I like it. All in all I basically liked it, but not as much as those other three.

Two doctors & Faust in Monday:
Faust: The Last LP Listened this second time, I usually listen vinyls that I have just bought 5-6 times in a short period, if I havenīt heard those albums before. As usual, sounds even better than the first time. My fav from this is the longest piece "Party 1" that I think is the base of one piece in their "So Far"-album. Dr. Feelgood: Private Practice I have heard this bands first album first time when I was just a little kid. Then started my whole lifetime love to this band! Their greatest albums are those four first, where are the classic guitarist Wilko Johnson. But Gypie Mayo was great replacement for him and specially this and previous "Be Seeing You" includes that tight rhythm & blues whatīs so great in this band. I believe radios still play "Down At the Doctors", "Milk & Alcohol" & "Night Time", but really arenīt any loose tracks in this album! Dr. John: Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack & The Brightest Smile In Town Dr. John was the master of New Orleans-style piano playing. These two albums really prove that, because there is just Dr. John and piano. First album has only one vocal piece, second about half vocals & half instrumentals. These albums really have positive feeling and are very relaxing to listen in the evening time.

Alright that was good. I feel like we're back on track here. Notes.. title track - pretty kick butt, right on! Cold Wind to Valhalla - jamming, good Black Satin Dancer - guitar break in this reminded me of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. And then the count-in to Requiem sounded like the count-in to Taxman lol. Requiem - filler. Baker St Muse - yeah that was cool. I especially liked the violin toward the end there. But a lot of cool things about that. |

Best album of the day, no question. I was absolutely wrong about this band. That album was fantastic. Ok then, notes.. And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps - good bass in this one, I like it. Acres Wild - this one's energetic, groovy, actually really good! No Lullaby - rockin tune, again very good. Moths - softer but really good. actually sounds like the late 70's. Journeyman - groovy tune. this album is tremendous so far. Rover - softer and more acoustic, but very good. One Brown Mouse - another great song, this is getting ridiculous. title track - yeah this is officially ridiculous Weathercock - good song. I'm starting to get obsessed, I can just feel it in me. That didn't happen(not like this) with The Moody Blues, Procol Harum, Family, Traffic, none of them so far. This is different.

Tuesdayīs selections:
Los Jaivas: Cancion Del Sur This IS folk-prog masterpiece (havenīt used to word many days, so I can use it today) from Chile! To many itīs of course "Alturas De Macchu Picchu" from this band, but I prefer this mostly because this have greater, more acoustic sounds! But also there really are great sounding prog synth for example in the title piece. All the way this album just got so great melodies and is really spiritual! And seem to be these days quite underrated, to me this beats hundred times those unknown UK-prog albums from the begin of seventies that seem to got lots of attention recently. Dr. John: In a Sentimental Mood This is the third and the last Dr. John studio-album in eighties. Not just a piano but really great band with doctor, for example Jeff Porcaro in drums, also really great string and horn arrangements. But really the mood is the same as in those piano albums, really great listening for the evening time! And in first piece Dr. has really great duet with Rickie Lee Jones. Trumans Water: Fragments Of a Lucky Break This is Trumans` greatest album, almost a masterpiece! They released their first album in 1992, not much happened in 6 years when this album came, they play tighter in this, maybe there are also more melodies. They use quite much effected vocals in this album, last piece "All Eye & Movement" sounds like taken from some sixties scifi-movie. "Your Courage" is really psychedelic and the greatest piece, followed by funny jumping piece with really Beefheart (again) style sax.

What. I think you're obsessed with my man Beefheart. And that first album, another masterpiece huh. And they're from Chile. I'll have to listen to this at some point. Remind me. But for now.. it's time again for my obsession. I can't help myself. Tonight I'm going to go with War Child.

The weakest of these Tull albums so far imo. Bungle in the Jungle is pretty kick ***, and Skating Away is very good obviously, but other than that.. well here's the notes.
War Child - liking the sax, it's cool. Queen and Country, Ladies, and Back-Door Angels were all just ok imo. Sealion was pretty good. Skating Away and Bungle in the Jungle are obviously both very good(especially the latter). Only Solitaire - filler The Third Hoorah - this one has a really cool sound to it. Two Fingers - a lot of energy.. idk decent song I guess. This seems like the kind of album that, maybe, with repeated listenings I'll like better. But anyway, I'm not done with Jethro Tull yet that's for sure. |
