Red Dwarf Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Not much love for Under Wraps then?It was certainly an odd decision by IA to record an electronic album,though it was the early eighties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont mind rhe arrangements but the electronic drums do get shrill sounding after a while. The Remaster is doubly bad but the original vinyl is tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 1 - Songs From The Wood2 - Stormwatch3 - Aqualung4 - Heavy Horses5 - The Broadsword And The Beast6 - Benefit7 - Thick As A Brick8 - Stand Up9 - This Was10 - A Passion Play That was very tough, so I decided to rank intuitively. 11 - Under Wraps (still love that (weird sounding) album, and not only because of Under Wraps # 2, which is really a beauty) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosher Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Tough for me, I love Tull. Here's 12 that vie for the top ten: Heavy HorsesSongs From the WoodToo Old To Rock and RollWar ChildAqualungStormwatchCrest of a KnaveMinstrel In The GalleryCatfishThick as a BrickRoots to BranchesRock Island With proper love for the excellent Broadsword, Benefit, Stand Up and This Was Passion Play sits at par. Sub par: (edit- these aren't sub par. They're actually really bad albums. ) Under Wraps and A Only heard J-Tull.com once, need more repetitions to see.

I like Under Wraps. The vocals are great, and many of the songs are good. The annoying drum machines and awful-sounding synths do hurt it, but the main reason it's only fifteenth or so in my Tull rankings is that most of the competition is simply stronger. Too Old, Catfish Rising, and This Was are at the very bottom for me, but I like plenty of material on each of those albums.
