Negative Positive
Title: Raw
Review: If you're a Tull cultist you should get this album, but for anyone else it's just not a good effort: sloppy, rough, amateurish (Ian learned to play the flute a few months before cutting the album). The album's title seems to indicate that the band knew this and that they wanted to move past it. If you want some early Tull, get "Stand Up" instead. The musicianship and arrangements are better and Tull had developed its musical concept more fully, instead of being just another Brit wannabe blues band.
Is the review positive or negative?
