Aqualung is and remains above all the decades a masterpiece of rock music! In 1971, when I bought the LP from my laboriously saved pocket money was. This beautifully designed cover alone was very appealing. The cover was then made with a corrugated paper. This matched the gothic building fathom, the inner part of the hinged cover. The music is indescribably good and responsive to and reflective texts are still included. In addition to the time often in the radio stations hit "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath" but also the other pieces of the highest order. Special beads are my judge it after the short but quiet pieces "Cheap Day Return", "Wond'ring Aloud" and "Slipstream". Whatever the composition of the songs is already a class of its own. Rarely have I experienced that the songs were so successful tuned to each other. "Aqualung" is actually in all respects a Gesamtkunstwerk. Of course, I now also own the "Aqualung - 25 th Anniversary" from 1996 and "Aqualung - Live" in 2005. Now I'm still thinking whether I should still "Aqualung (40th Anniversary Special Edition)" from 2011 set. Some of the critics say yes, that the mix by Steven Wilson to be very successful. So far I like the LP sound-wise still the best. For fans of Jethro Tull Album This must of course not be touted as they have it already. But maybe there is a Jethro Tull music curious prospective lost on this page. To him be sure to heart this album. Who wants to be well versed in rock music, which should know this dream part of rock history, love and therefore also have !!! Five stars are not enough for "Aqualung" by far !!!
