Title: Tull fans: skip this one
Review: First of all, this is NOT a Jethro Tull album, but ex-Tull-er David Palmer's first foray into orchestral interpretations of rock music. It was apparently coming along so poorly, he got Ian Anderson and most of 'Tull to play alonside the London Symphony Orchestra. The arrangements are virtually unchanged from the 'Tull originals, which destroys the whole concept. The only thing missing is the vocals. The one standout exception: Warchild. This one track represents perfectly what the whole project should have been about...almost enough to recommend acquisition. Even Ian says he's never played this. ANY 'Tull album is better.
Is the review positive or negative?
