Default Jehtro Tull- Thick as a Brick Sequel

Ian Anderson (not under the moniker of Jethro Tull) is putting out "Thick as a Brick" part 2 for release this Spring. He is also going to tour-- playing the original "Thick as a Brick" in its entirety for the first time in 40-years, plus the entire sequel as well. For Tull fans, like myself, this is fantastic.

Here's two links. The first has video and audio samples of the new "TAAB," and they sound good.

Man, Tull certainly gets no love here...

I rank TAAB and APP as two of my favorite albums of all time, so I'm counting down the minutes to the release. I just hope Ian Anderson's voice can hold up. It has never been the same since his throat surgery in the late 80's, and the last time I saw him live he was really struggling, but he sounds good in the clip. I guess we'll see.

Or, I guess *I'll see* and let everyone else know

I'm sort of neutral about them. I was just chuckling because US was just knocking TAAB yesterday in the album wars thread.

Just saw that thread and chimed in... my vote obviously went to TAAB

He put out Thick as a Brick as a joke almost, taking the piss out of Prog bands by releasing a big double album and I am not a fan of it too much but I do like Tull 75% of the time.

Would have loved to have seen Tull in their prime though.

You're right, but he said that publicly from day one. He was unhappy that Aqualung was labeled a concept prog album. Anderson didn't want Tull labeled as anything except for Jethro Tull, so he took the biggest stab he could at the Prog genre by creating the first single song album, and claiming the lyrics were written by the fictions 10-year old character Gerald Bostock, but in the process, he created one of the seminal prog albums of the original wave of progressive rock.

For me, Tull's output from '71 starting with Aqualung through '79's Stormwatch is almost completely flawless, and during that period (71- 79), they were more prolific than most any other band, releasing 9 studio albums and 1 live album.

Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses are almost perfect for me.

I would say that period is Tull's best as well, RMR. I don't know about the sequel, you saw what happened with Operation Mindcrime II. Disappointment. I guess I'll just have to wait untull I hear it, I'm still going to give it a try even if it might turn out to be a letdown.
