Title: It's a difficult listen, but well worth it
Product review: Your jaw will drop when you see how long this song is--a grand total of 44:58 (or at least on the version I have). But don't worry--it's like Thick As a Brick, only a bit more connected. Packed with symbolism, religous references, instrumentals, and everything else in between, APP is one of Tull's stronger song/albums.The overture will probably grind your nerves, as will a few other parts (A couple instrumentals, for example), but the organ part is stunning, as is Ian Anderson's flute playing (as usual). I also like the theme and the "Story of a Hare Who Lost His Spectacles", a must-hear (I'm serious--in the middle of the song, Ian Anderson yells out, "This is the story of a hare who lost his spectacles" and then they kick into a fairytale or something like that.) A perfect purchase for all Tull fans.
