Aqualung Jethro Tull SKU: 00825646146604 Barcode: 825646146604 36.00 £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone Released Date: 22nd May 2015 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info 180 Gram Vinyl in Gatefold Sleeve with 24 Page Booklet. The leap from 1970’s ‘Benefit’ to the following year’s ‘Aqualung’ is one of the most astonishing progressions in rock history. In the space of one album, Tull went from relatively unassuming electrified folk-rock to larger-than-life conceptual rock full of sophisticated compositions and complex, intellectual lyrical constructs. while the leap to full-blown prog-rock wouldn’t be taken until a year later on ‘Thick as a Brick’, the degree to which Tull upped the ante here is remarkable. The lyrical concept – the hypocrisy of christianity in England – is stronger than on most other ’70s conceptual efforts, but it is ultimately the music that makes the album. Tull’s winning way with a riff was never so arresting as on the chugging ‘Locomotive Breath,’ or the character studies ‘Cross Eyed Mary’ and ‘Aqualung,’ which portray believably seedy participants in Ian Anderson’s story. The fable imagery of ‘Mother Goose’ and the vitriolic anti-authoritarian sentiments of ‘Wind Up’ both serve notice of Anderson’s willful iconoclasm and his disillusionment with the spiritual traditions to which he was born. Varied but cohesive, ‘Aqualung’ is widely regarded as Tull’s finest hour.
