Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Written as a response to the music press as the seminal album Aqualung was still deep in the minds of the listener, Jethro Tull’s Thick As A Brick is considered by many as the ultimate concept recording, and whilst fans and advocates of Genesis’ The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway or Pink Floyd’s The Wall might disagree with loud, and argumentative vocal voices, there can be no argument that what the members of the band put together in 1972 has resonated, found its way into folk lore, has become, in a word, legendary.
