Album Rating: 4.5

When I started I was getting killer stuff, for 25 or 75 cents, and the Goodwill for 50 cents, that was 98-99, then it got popular again and everything went nuts, but you can still find good stuff for cheap just not at the record store, hit the rummage sales, goodwills, antique stores, and ebay in the summer months, that is how I built up so many, you be surprised at what people basically give away.

I buy a lot of new stuff so I probably pay like 10 times the amount you used to pay for each record (more like 100x the amount if you were buying stuff for 25 cents).

Album Rating: 4.5

I do too, but look for the cheap jems, build up the diversity, I have found many cool bands, just by judging the coolness factor, from the year made, song titles, and cover. can get many cool bands that way that you haven't heard of, if you see anything from "72" almost guaranteed winner

I tend to have a good idea of what I want and usually just buy it whatever the price. With new releases for example, cheap gems don't really come into it.

I dig that man, I hardly ever know what i'm looking for until I find it. Sometimes I go to buy, record store day, stuff like that

Album Rating: 4.0

This album's really great. I love the variety and whimsicality of it.

yeah, one hell of a debut.

Album Rating: 4.0

It's not their debut, though...

wtf, I always seem to forget they released an album before this one. need to get on that

This Was is a pretty standard blues rock album (albeit still a very good one), this is the first album where Anderson's genius really started to come out.

In fact I've read that they called it 'This Was' because even by the time it was released Anderson felt he'd already moved on from that blues rock sound.

Album Rating: 4.0

Apparently this is Anderson's favourite Jethro Tull album. I can't exactly agree with him, but it is really good.

I do think it's pretty underrated, I've had a soft spot for this album since I scored it on vinyl with the pop-up of the band inside :]

It might be a tad overlooked, but Aqualung and Thick as a Brick are on a whole other level.

Album Rating: 4.5

disagree, although aqua and Thick are great, the first 2 albums really are what they made the band to be, a kick ass blues band, love the prog stuff but the early stuff has a great swing to it



can you imagine what would of happened if Iommi stayed with the band

Would be interesting, but: It might be a tad overlooked, but Aqualung and Thick as a Brick are on a whole other level. [2].



This is easily my favorite band anyways.

I thought This Was was a joke, yes the band turned over but many do early on, I love the first 2 albums anway, I think they more evolved into the folk prog thing, because look at Benefit, or war child later on, which were more straight forward rock(blues ) albums



I think you can hear and see Iommi playing on the rock and roll circus movie, one of his only performances with the band

I like their first two albums, don't me wrong, in fact I love this one.

Also with regards to Benefit and War Child being "straight forward", Tull have never really been a prog band in my eyes (they're only 2 albums that are really prog were both tongue-in-cheek parodies of the genre) so it's never been about how prog the band were.

Album Rating: 4.5

me too, most people think so though, always saw them as a great rock band nothing more, or Metal band LOL
