I do. I like the somewhat Pythonesque humour of the newspaper articles.
 
 
 
I do also like the humour, I think they write stories themselves and also were in pictures!

Classic. It’s the best of Tulls original albums. It’s probably on par with 5 or 6 of the anniversary books though. Stormwatch and Aqualung books are the best with great double albums. Then Thick, Horses, Songs, Passion and Warchild are all pretty equal In the book series.
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Great album....but I still will take Stand Up, Benefit, and Aqualung over TAAB.

Saw them in 1974/75 at college..IU Indiana....great show..they played various  tracks from everything they had done up to then...I'm glad they didn't play side long tracks from TAAB or Passion Play since I was more into the earlier lp's.
The power went out in the middle of the show...and Anderson told a funny ribald tale about the bass player....Hammond at the time.

Top Ten Album for me. Easily JT's best and right up there with CTTE, SEBTP, DSOTM, ITCOTCK, etc.

It's a great album, of course. Yet I feel it drags a bit at some parts. From side one, I actually like better the version on Live Bursting Out, that keeps mostly the very best parts. And from side two it's also about the first half of it that I really really love.

Aqualung, Songs, Live - Bursting Out, Living in the Past was the order of my album purchases that got me into Tull as a teenager (when your pocket money needed to be spent carefully and wisely). Think I bought TAAB relatively later (definitely after Stand Up, Benefit and Minstrel) - but what a revelation it was! Superb - flowing musical invention, wonderful lyrics, repeat motifs, light and shade. Side 1 seemed perfection and Side 2 eventually clicked fully as well. I still love that keyboard sound that washes through the whole album. Up there with Foxtrot and CTTE still!

This truly is a landmark, legendary album. I listened again just yesterday and was reminded how timeless it is. By far my favorite entry in the Tull discography. Worthy of every single bit of praise it receives!
