Product Description
From Amazon.com
The follow-up to that FM staple, Aqualung, 1972's Thick as a Brick demonstrated that Ian "Don't call me Jethro" Anderson had so much on his mind that even the previous record's side-long suites would not suffice. The result was an album-length "song" that simultaneously struck my young ears as Tull's finest work to date (and I had them all) and led to my never listening to any of their subsequent albums all the way through. The record was packaged in the popular fake-newspaper style of the day (John & Yoko's Some Time in New York City of the same year, the Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers, and the Four Seasons' bid for hipness, Genuine Imitation Life Gazette). Opening line: "Really don't mind if you sit this one out." --David Wolf

Biggles and brilliance
April 6 2011
Format:Audio CD
I still listen to this album once a month or so, and have done so with at least that frequency since I bought it on vinyl when it was released in 1972. I love it, perhaps more than words can say. Hope the younger generation who don't know Tull buy it, you won't regret it!

Do you believe in the Day ?
July 18 2004
Format:Audio CD
My favorite from the 69-74's Prog.
Not as cohesive as other great concept albums from this period,
but the most passionate of them all.
After hundreds of listen, the river is still flowing free & easy.
Fresh as the rare ould mountain dew!
the most creative tull record ever!

Format:Audio CD
this record was way ahead of the time of
1972,it showed how progresive tull really
was,and there was not any bands doing music
like this,this was probably the best music
I have heard from tull,along with passion play
there was so much creativity going on with these
records,it was great to hear that back then,I am glad
to own the remastered versions.I
also seen tull thick as a brick as my first concert,its still the
greatest one I have seen.
