Aqualung
Jethro Tull

4.0 - I struggled a little with this because clearly there’s masterful musicianship, especially the flute interludes (e.g., at the beginning of “Cross-Eyed Mary”). Sometimes the mix on these songs sounds a little strange — live and slapdash, particularly on “My God.” And while there are more than a few memorable riffs (e.g., the main theme on “Aqualung”) there aren’t any true ear worms on here. It’s also got some typical prog-rock mysticism served in a Golden Corral buffet of genres. So, while I do like this record, my opinion at the moment remains mixed.
