Title: Going in the right direction
Product review: I was really surprised at all of the 5 star ratings Stand Up has received. I enjoyed Stand Up, it features several Tull classic songs which have been reviewed very well by others here on Amazon. Stand Up is what many consider the first true Tull sounding album and is much better than "This Was". But I still found myself distracted by Ian's "blues" voice on several songs. It just doesn't have that Tull quality, which I guess didn't come about full-time until Benefit. "Fat Man" is a little acoustic number and Martin Barre's guitar work is great, the song really showcases Ian Anderson's sense of humor. "Fat Man" stands out on Stand Up, simply because it so different from all of the other songs. I would really enjoy seeing Tull do this song live. If you too like "Fat Man" give Catfish Rising's "Roll Yer Own" a listen. Both are quirky and fun and lift the overall feel of their respective albums.
