Tulls Thick As A Brick has a special place in my heart, not only is it a great album, but it was also the first Tull concert that I attended. Last week I was lucky enough to get my hands on an OK sounding bootleg from this tour wher

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.

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.

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

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...

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.
