I was very curious to see how it sounds continuing this now really getting on in years history. About the meaning of history, each likes to make his own judgment, I'm interested in anyway rather the music, not so much the lyrics. I really have to say that I was excited after the first hearing. What Anderson delivers here is really a piece of cake. Musically following on from the first "Thick As A Brick". So much better than what Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson recently handed in (s). Nice gimmick: the DVD version in 5.1. With the best of what I have heard so far as Surroundabmischung. Right here - in my humble opinion - everything. Not too much and not too little on the effect channels, they are neither too loud nor too quiet mixed. The sound of the CD is held be given up something "dull", Anderson's voice sounds as when he would sing behind a curtain. Therefore deduction of a star. This effect occurs when the DVD - thank God - not on.
