I can't emphasize the importance of this album enough! Its ambitious concept, thoughtful lyrics, flawless execution and plenty of nice little touches assure that up until now "Thick As A Brick" has been a template for epic monumental rock compositions. Spanning across 44 minutes, this album has only one song. But that must be boring, you might think. Wrong! Instrumentally, the band plays a mixture of hard-rock, English folk, with jazzy influence, and does it in a prog-rock manner. But that is not the calculated soulless prog-rock that is being released today. On the contrary, the music and lyrics here have so much passion, that you feel it in every note. As usual, Ian Anderson does most of the work here, playing guitars, flute and singing (as well as writing controversial lyrics and designing a booklet, that is styled as a local dayly newspaper). For once his voice lost its quirky touch and expresses sad contemplation instead. And this is about the first time that Ian's passionate singing fits the music excellently! His trademark flute exchanges melodic lines with John Evans' keyboards, and both instruments are given a lot of time here. This, together with Martin Barre's guitar, make this album's very recognizable, soft yet dynamic sound. The music changes direction so much that it keeps your interest for the entire album. Yet the changes are so skillfully arranged that this ultra long song never breaks into separate parts, but always sounds as a whole composition. Such a unique combination of perfect elements blended together is very rare. No wonder Jethro Tull couldn't top the success and perfection of this album, neither before, nor after it. Moreover, I think that if there's only one album to choose of the entire 70s prog-rock movement, it must be "Thick As A Brick", with only a few albums coming somewhat close to it (Tull's "Aqualung" or Genesis' "Selling England" spring to mind). So do I think you should buy "Thick As A Brick"? Yes, most certainly I do. Its place in music history has been reserved, and by ignoring it, you only hurt your own development as a listener.Vollständige Rezension lesen
