The 24th album from this band from Great Britain.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, harmonica, flute and vocals.
A new album from these legends and that hot on the heels of the very good The Zealot Gene from last year.
Happy days.
Jethro Tull has an unique sound and their back catalogue is full of classics and great albums. I rate them as one of the best ever progressive rock bands ever. Make that; among the ten best ever rock and pop bands.
Many reviewers before me has noted that Ian Anderson's vocals and voice is shot to pieces and gone on this album. Yes, that is not an unfair criticism. Age has finally caught up with one of the best ever vocalists and artists.
The music on this album is still folk rock with a lot of progressive rock influences. Progressive folk rock. There is also a lot of more harder rock here when the flute has been put away. That is not often, though.
The music is flutes and vocals orientated.
There is one great song here. The rest is good or decent enough. I settle on a good rating. A weak one but I cannot deny that this band is pure class and that I really feel at home in their music.
This albums is not as good as The Zealot Gene but it is still a good album.
3 points
