ReleaseNotes:
After veering sharply from the blues inluences of their debut, This Was, Jethro Tull\'s sound quickly coalesced around jazz-tinged English folk influences and the antics of frontman/flautist Ian Anderson. But it was guitarist Martin Barre\'s swaggering riff off the title track of the band\'s fourth album that would become Tull\'s indelibly clichΘd trademark--and the band\'s entrΘe into a long reign as arena-rock perennials. But there\'s a lot more to Aqualung than the riffage of that cut and its cousins, \"Cross-Eyed Mary\" and \"Locomotive Breath.\" In an era when pseudo-Christian spirituality was a de rigueur, if cheap, musical commodity (from the overblown operatics of Jesus Christ Superstar to one-hit pop wonders such as \"Spirit in the Sky\" and \"Put Your Hand in the Hand\"), Anderson and company
openly challenged the value of organized religion with a thematic album savvy enough to layer its thought-provoking lyrics between heavy strata of FM-friendly guitar bedrock. A clichΘ, perhaps; a landmark, no doubt. And a record many maintain is still Tull\'s finest hour.
