Negative Positive
Title: OK RECORD but inferior to earlier works
Review: I dunno. I can't believe that people give THIS LP five stars and "This Was" - Tulls much superior first LP 4 and even more dreadful 3 stars. There is no accounting for bad taste. Tulls' first LP and then the following two - Stand Up and Benefit are BOTH better than Thick As a Brick which was overblown and muddled.I can only guess that most of the latter fans came along... well LATER and never heard This Was until they because accustomed to stuff like YES Tales of Topographic Oceans and who knows - Innagadda Da Vida? Mindnumbing. . Anyway Brick is OK... But 5 stars?? NUTS. But THIS WAS instead. And then pick up Stand Up and Benefit. Hell even Aqualung is better than Thick as a Brick.
Is the review positive or negative?
