Presumably a commercial decision rather than an artistic one. It's not as if his solo albums show a massive change of direction away from Tull

^ Absolutely. It’s definitely more a marketing tool than anything else. I doubt the name indicates any difference in the style of what has been released under Anderson’s name in recent years.

 I saw them a couple years back. No thank you. I will remain faithful to their albums through Barriemore Barlow's tenure with the band. After that, there is very little to write home about and believe me I've tried.

I agree...it's not Tull without at least Martin Barre and the last real Tull with the classic players was Stormwatch. Though I have most of the rest and a few are decent ,none have that  great 'Tull sound' imho.
I have no expectations that this 'Tull' album will be very good when it comes to the classic sound.
Fortunately for me, I'm not a lover of nostalgia as it's contrary to being progressive, but I don't see Ian coming up with something new because he is in Tull nostalgia mode, his last concerts featuring Tull's greatest hits exclusively..

I didn't know that. Ian is a great wordsmith, so it will at least garner one listen from me. But perhaps only one.

Stormwatch is where I get off the Tull boat - though not a bad record, it set the precedent for future expectations for Tull albums.  After that it's all Ian to me.

I always felt Ian thought he was more important than he was. At least prior lineup changes were gradual and the replacements were perfect. It was tough to replace Jeffrey but Glasscock met the challenge very well. But when he completely broke up the band it was the end of Tull. Tull was the sum of the parts - not just Ian or Ian and Martin. I was a huge fan of the band, not just of Ian. Everything after Stormwatch is an Ian Anderson solo album to me.

But I would say that Roots to Branches had a group dynamic to it, but I understand why some think it doesn't.

Personally, I actually think A and Broadsword are still really solid albums, but I understand that there’s a shift in tone and sound after Stormwatch

On reflection, I would say that those two albums also had a group dynamic as well as Krest of a Knave. Perhaps that's why they stand out.

He has been trying to call his backup band Jethro Tull for years, even referring to them as the Jethro Tull Band. The name is a marketing ploy if there is no Martin, but since I have enjoyed all his solo records, it stands to be a pretty decent album. I would like to see a greater emphasis on instrumentality but know it won't be all instrumental.

Or at least borrow a copy from the library or from a Tull-headed friend.

Yeah like at the end of the day, i'm going to pick up a copy whatever the case is honestly. Nothing brings me more joy than funneling my money into Jethro Tull records, CDs, and merch LOL
