I love their early work. Thick as a Brick is an absolute masterpiece, as is Aqualung, as is Stand up! For that matter. This was... is very nice too. The rest... Nah.

Tull's peak period was 1971 starting with Aqualung and ending in 1979 with Storm Watch. I love all the albums in that period. I agree they started to decline, but not until Storm Watch. Then, Anderson had throat surgery in the mid- 80's, which changed his voice forever. However, his song and lyrical writing ability is absolutely top tier.
