A bit of an overlooked Tull album. Pretty consistent right through with some of the better tracks being the lesser known ones. Not their best but in no way shabby. [First added to this chart: 06/16/2022]

Great debut. Top heavy with classic tracks. Dips a bit in the middle but epic finish with '100,000 Years' & 'Black Diamond' [First added to this chart: 06/16/2022]

This has the song 'School' on it.  I'd heard it bulk times over the last few decades on the radio and for some reason thought it was Robert Plant with a song from his solo career.  I kept listening out whenever it was played for them to say who and what it was but they never did. Bastards. Then one day they did. What a surprise. Not even on the radar that it was Supertramp. Albums more piano/keyboard than I was expecting, not that I mind. Classic 70's. 05/24 [First added to this chart: 04/20/2024]

Starts with a hiss and a roar. About half are really decent tracks. But I find half of this is also fluff that doesn't do anything for me. [First added to this chart: 07/12/2022]
