    Rating:
    One of Tull's later albums, now you might go 'hey what happened to them during the 80's', and the answer to that my friends is that Jethro Tull in the 80's is a very sad story. They adapted a gay synth pop sound which as far as I know stayed for at least 10 years. So just forget about that, now it's 95 (on this album that is) and the heavy progressive rock gods are back, imo this sounds pretty much like albums such as "Heavy horses" only more 'modern'.
    Not much else to say, simply a great album.
