Do we have a title yet...?

Sweet as Concrete

Content as Cement

Shorter as Mortar

Drab as a Slab

Bangkok as a Cinder Block

Thick as a Brick 2: Electric Boogaloo?

If the sequel doesn't rhyme I'm gonna flip a bitch.

If it's an Ian Anderson solo record and not a reformation of Jethro Tull, then a good title could be "Outdated as I am Overrated".

Hirsute with a flute.

Good call and analogy on Operation Mindcrime II. I was actually thinking the same thing. I loved the first one, and I had high hopes for the sequel. I will say that I thought Mindcrime II was the best album Queensryche had released since Mindcrime-1, and I enjoyed it for about a month, but I have not pulled it off the shelf since then.

I'm not expecting TAAB2 to be nearly as good as the original, but I'm hoping for a solid Tull/ Anderson release that is memorable and spends an extended time in my listening rotation. I really think Anderson still has the musical prowess; I just don't know if his voice has enough power to carry the album. TAAB is such an important album to me, so I can only hope.

i thought there was already a Thick as a Brick Part 2

shouldn't it be Thick as a Brick 3?

anyways, about sequels, i quite enjoyed Tubular Bells 2 - i know lots of people hate it, but a synthy-poppy version of it is nice (to me, at least)

Looking forward to this! The original TAAB was great so hopefully Anderson can put out a quality album that does justice to the original masterwork.

I already know you love A Passion Play which is even more painful than the brick, but do you actually think War Child, Minstrel in the Gallery and the dire Too Old To Rock`n`Roll-Too Young To Die to be good albums?
