Rating:
Anderson gave up the one-song-album concept after "A passion play", not that it matters much though but unfortunately the following album "War child" was a bit of a disappointment; certainly not good enough to call a fantastic album, and kinda boring.
Don't be scared now cause it still has its moments, for example the acoustic parts but not many of the riffs really grab you if you know what I mean. Do buy it if you're a real Tull fan, any person who's into progressive music should appreciate at least parts of this, including the title track and "The third hoorah". Another track that sticks out is "Two fingers" which actually is a re-worked version of "Lick your fingers clean", one of the bonus tracks on "Aqualung" (Not better than the original though).
Since this is an old prog album it should be available really cheap, that if something should be one reason to grab it, right?
