The rollicking hero has won all his wars
Left only with memories that ooze from his pores
Let him join in the party and share in the fun
While the bomb in his pocket snuffs out the sun

I'll give Anderson this, he's one of the greatest lyricists of all time.

Agreed dude. Those lyrics I just posted were cut out of this album for some reason, only heard them thanks to Wilson restoring those verses in his remix.

Hope that Wilson continues to remix prog gems, dude has a knack for doing it perfectly.

Yeah he can forget about making his own music and just stick to remixing old classics for all I care.

Seriously though the remix for this has to be the best he's ever done simply due to the effort he put into other stuff as opposed to just to the sound engineering, such as restoring old cut out bits and making the Chateau tapes sound more like a proper album (all be it still an unfinished one).

"As a whole, the score is far less substantial than Thick As A Brick, itself a suffocatingly fey concoction. Finally, one leaves A Passion Play with the feeling of having been subjected to 45 minutes of vapid twittering and futzing about, all play and no passion – expensive, tedious nonsense."



good old Rolling Stone

Yeah with Rolling Stone the opposite to what they say is usually closer to how it actually is.

My dad owns most of Jethro Tull's discography on vinyl. He's always bragging about it ;)

Discount Thick as a Brick but still good.

For those who call this discount thick as a brick, I think you have just not listened to it enough times. Ian Anderson's voice is during his peak period, and the theme develops nicely through the 45 minutes. Even the Hare interlude is placed well because the theme has more development and less repetition that TAAB. I prefer TAAB, but just by a whisker.
