Jethro Tull
A Passion Play
Review by Gary Hill
I don't think anyone will argue with me if I say that A Passion Play is Jethro Tull's most ambitions and prog rock based album. It is essentially one long song that was done in two parts to fit across the two sides of a vinyl record. That said, it is also divided into various movements. This is unique and often challenging music. Still, it does have sections that feel like trademark Tull. This has a pretty steep learning curve, but it's worth the effort to get to know it.
