Part of a series of reissue released this year, this is a fine Tull album, although not really from their classic period. In fact, it was this disc that found the band taking “Best Metal Artist” Grammy in the first year of that award. This was to the dismay of nearly all, including fellow nominees Metallica. Indeed, when ‘tallica did win the next year, they thanked Tull for not putting out an album that year. This disc is certainly not metal, though. It is rather stripped down, and at times crunchy, but it is all Tull style prog. The lineup on the CD is Ian Anderson, Martin Barre and David Pegg.
