Just ordered Faraquet- The View From This Tower, and Medications- Your Favorite People All In One Place. I'm giddy.
EDIT: Anyway, Storm Rider over here seems to think a thread requires some sort of intellectual discourse.
What do you think is the best Jethro Tull album?
-
And this is threadworthy why?
-
*Sigh* Does it even matter anymore?
-
Ummm, yes. Because you are contributing to the problem by making more threads about things that are not really worhty of threads and thus are destined to be shitty and uninteresting.
So stop doing it.
-
sorry it's not my fault it so fun though...

Nothing beats the cover of "Aqualung." Snot is running down his nose, yo.
-
@Storm Rider: Did you not see? I gave us something to discuss. Lighten up, man.
@kokeyjoe: The cover of Aqualung?
-
Yeah, the album cover. Album art. Not, like, "covering" a song. I thought about clarifying that after I posted, buuut I'm lazy.
-
Well, it is good art. The music ain't bad, either.
-
The View From This Tower is totally worth it, and is absolutely great. Your Favorite People All In One Place is not as good, although I have not listened to it nearly as much as I have TVFTT. There are some great Faraquet bootlegs here (http://www.transmission3000.com/bands/?r=faraquet.html), a lot of unreleased tracks and some other stuff.
-
I agree because Medications is a bit pop-ish (poppy? popsome?), but they're still good. I really love Andrew Becker's drumming. The Faraquet CD still hasn't come yet.

I'd have to say I prefer the cover art for "Thick as a Brick". That is if you can find the album version that came with a newspaper.

Jesus that image is big.
-
Jesus was bigger than the Beatles.
i hate to disagree with you, but the Beatles are HUGE!
-
Jesus that image is big.
i wanted to make sure it was readable.
-
Actually, my dad has that album on LP. The rest of the newspaper is pretty hilarious too.
-
The newspaper that came with "Thick as a Brick" is hilarious", however, making your album a single thirty-eight (or so) minute song is also hilarious, in an an I can't be arsed to listen to it kind of way.

There was someone, I think it might have been Brian Eno, who released an album that was one song about 50 or 60 minutes long. And that one song had a different title to the album...
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? Are there themes explored on the rest of the album not explored on its ONLY SONG???

There's nothing wrong with sixty-minute songs, you just have to be a drone-(genre) or ambient band to pull it off and not sound like a complete arse.

I disagree
I'm a huge fan of Green Carnation "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" is a single 60 minute track and it's very well written. GC still play the song live from time to time.
Absolutely nothing wrong with long songs.
-
Oh my god, you are my new best friend for mentioning "Light of Day, Day of Darkness." When I discovered that for myself about four years ago, I was obsessed with it. Now, not so much, but I still think it's really cool. I'm just glad someone else knows it as a "hella-long song" right off the top of their head.
-
Yeah I'm a huge fan of Green Carnation. I think it's kind of Tchort's outlet for all the emotional stuff he can't vent in Carpathian Forest or Blood Red Throne.

You totally missed the point of my post.
I love long songs, the longer the better in my book. If a song isn't at least six minutes long, it probably won't be in my favourites list...
-
After further listens to Your Favorite People All in One Place, I have decided it is worthy of my liking. It's still not as good as anything Faraquet did though.
