“Aqualung” is the fourth studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released on 19 March 1971, by Chrysalis Records. “Aqualung,” to many, is Tull’s masterpiece. The title track and “Locomotive Breath,” with their catchy riffs, would be joined by “My God,” “Cross-Eyed Mary,” and “Hymn 43” as classic rock staples. There’s no arguing with its commercial success, having sold more than seven million copies and continuing to outsell anything in the back catalog.
Yet, “Aqualung” is arguably Tull’s most misunderstood album. Critics dubbed it a concept album, particularly for Anderson’s critical, skeptical views of organized religion, mostly on side B (“My God”). Anderson has disputed, almost resented, the assessment seeing the record as “just a bunch of songs.” The labeling lead the band to really give the critics a concept album with the following studio release “Thick as a Brick.”
“Aqualung” has a dominant theme but is certainly more, much more, than a concept album hindging on a solitary subject. Anderson explores the struggles of the less fortunate in our society (e.g., “Aqualung,” “Cross-Eyed Mary,” “Up to Me”), teenage angst and formal education difficulties ( e.g., “Wind Up,” “Mother Goose”), and returns to his parental themes with “Cheap Day Return, a tune encompassing Anderson’s feelings while traveling to visit his sick father.
“Aqualung” also cemented the exaggerated image, especially to those only casually acquainted with the band, that Tull was a “heavy rock” group. Years later, a Grammy for best heavy metal album (viz., “Crest of a Knave”) would officially sanction the misconceived stereotype. Yet, “Aqualung” is where Anderson really begins to develop his personal style for acoustical guitar songs with “Cheap Day Return,” “Mother Goose,” and “Slipstream.”
“Aqualung” did establish one of the most notable features of Tull’s music: songs varying with intensity, mixing medium to heavy electrical sounds with lighter acoustical passages (e.g., “Aqualung,” and “My God”). Indeed, every album up to “Under Wraps” (1984) would have at least one such styled number.

What other albums do you think changed music? Comment below!

@mrcoatsworth429 3 года назад

The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden:)

@anonagain 3 года назад

Some albums from the 70s that changed the way I viewed music were Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Inner Mounting Flame" (also "Birds of Fire"). John Mclaughlin's guitar playing speaks for itself, as does Billy Cobham's drumming - he was the first drummer I remember to replace the 2/4 hi hat pattern for straight eighths. Also any of Weather Report's albums including their self-titled debut album and "I sing the Body Electric". Don't know if they were popular enough for this series, but they sure changed my approach to listening and playing music. Thanks Warren!

If we can include Jethro Tull and Aqualung in this canon then I full believe Gong have a place. So I'm going to plump for Camembert Electrique. Daevid Allen's contribution to music and the world as a whole is immense. He was a wonderful human being. You would be quite surprised by who cite Gong as a major influence.

I saw Tull sometime in the mid to late 90's at Pier Six Concert Pavillion in Baltimore, a huge thunderstorm broke out in the middle of their set and I was dancing my ass off in the rain. Soaked through to the bone afterwards, but it was hands down the best concert I've ever been to.

"Aqualung" has to be up there as a contender for the "best" song of all time. Musically amazing - that riff, that solo, that ridiculous bass under the Bo Diddley groove - and lyrically just mind-blowing. Compassion without any crap sentimentality - a flawed, destroyed human being, pissing on his feet to stop his toes falling off. Jennie Anderson's masterpiece.

Very unique sound, very good musicians, luv their music & Ian Anderson looked like a Sorcerer coming on stage with his wild hair & flute in hand. All the time he was performing, there was a red telephone sitting on a table, on stage. I asked my date, what's the telephone for? At the end of his performance, the phone rang, he picked up the receiver, held it out to the audience and said, "It's for you." Blew me away! Always been a fave. band of mine, to this day! I'm 75 now ✌🌹☮

@secolerice 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this! Jethro Tull is my 2nd favorite band after The Beatles. So many people (especially the young music reactors) don't understand Tull at all. I also love folk music and love the folk influence in Tull. Steeleyed Span is where I learned a lot of British folk tunes (along with the tunes that made it to the US and influenced folk/country/western/bluegrass here). Along with the musicianship and the use of the flute, the shear poetry of the lyrics of their songs is amazing. I saw them on their Heavy Horses tour in Denver. Even in the nose bleed seats I was blown away.

@itshotinhere9346 3 года назад

I love your demonstration of the major third in the riff. I could hear this on the record but could never get the right sound and any second band guitarist would always just play the same main riff. In 1973 @ age 14 I stumbled across this record oddly enough, in a neighborhood butcher shop. they had bought a small empty adjoining store, knocked down the wall & added a bodega that sold all sorts of items. there was a carousel with records on it & I spotted the strange drawing of a bearded hobo with the title Jethro Tull 'Aqualung'. It sounded so very different than anything else at the time or since. We all winded up going to every Tull concert from 73'-82'. As a young budding guitarist, I was always captivated at Martin Barre's style & tone, which besides Andersons unique persona, writing & multi-instrumentation skills, It was Barre who gave Tull the early hard-rock sound that made them so iconic.

At the concert people were passing around joints back when marijuana possession was a felony, the whole 20 000 seat auditorium smelling of pot smoke, while being patrolled by the police. Who couldn't do anything because there were too many of us. Great music, which had much more impact on people at the time than just a catchy tune. But also worthy of your detailed musical analysis.

@@shb7772000if The weak answer from the hall is that Jethro tull is Progressive Rock and therefore not the genre of music they are recognizing - that is of course a bunch of garbage. While prog rock is under represented they included The Moody Blues in 2018. They have also inducted Rsh, Yes, and Genesis. There is no way that Jethro Tull should not be in the R&R HOF. Abba? Joan Baez? Janet Jackson, The Bee Gees, The Cure are all Rock and Roll but Jethro Tull is not? Joan Baez is straight up folk or country. Others are Pop. The Cure is more prog or alternative rock than straight rock. The reason behind the scenes I have heard - cannot confirm - is that the powers that be never liked Ian Anderson as he insulted them somehow along with the anger some felt when Jethro Tull won the Grammy for Metal for Crest of a Knave over Metallica. In fairness not sure I would call Crest of A Knave Metal but it is a good piece of music. The argument was that Jethro Tull was not Hard Rock or Metal - so the Hall is out to uphold that ridiculous and arrogant notion.

@@Producelikeapro Well then, I accept your gratitude with even more gratefulness. To commemorate the occasion I’ll listen to both Aqualung AND Thick As A Brick sometime over this weekend at a volume that’s louder than my neighbors are willing to tolerate. I have both albums in 96kHz/24 bit FLAC format (Mixed and Mastered by Steven Wilson). Not to dwell on the Prog Rock neediness too long, but have you ever considered doing a video about Yes’ rendition of Simon&Garfunkel’s America? It’s probably a cover that’s too obscure to have made a huge impact on anyone. Maybe you could add a series of videos to your channel featuring the best covers of all time, obscure and not so obscure?

I remember hearing the Aqualung album in 1972 (I was 12 and an older friend and musician turned me on to it) and it blew my mind. I was a huge fan of the British Invasion and to me this band (Jethro Tull) had a uniquely British sound that I always likened to modern minstrel music. I had the pleasure of seeing them open for the WHO in New Jersey around that same time and they were incredible. A truly talented and unique band that had a huge impact on my life as a musician. Thank you for covering this often overlooked and underrated phenomenon of a band known as Jethro Tull .

Why the hell wouldn't you LISTEN to the damn record!? Have you not heard of ... YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY LOOKING AT ITS COVER??? Silly, silly man! 🤣

@altaclipper 3 года назад

@@my2cents370 I’ll bet you’ve never had the experience of walking into an HMV at the height of the 70’s or 80’s and strolling down the aisles of racks, perusing the thousands of albums that were available, many of which we are watching RU-vidrs react to today. There was a huge amount of choice and in those days, album cover art was a legitimate art form. Here’s another example from my youth: I was a Bowie fan from the early 70’s, bought most of his albums and wouldn’t touch “Hunky Dory” with a 10 foot pole. I couldn’t stand the cover and I was familiar with Mott the Hoople’s cover of “All the Young Dudes” and I just didn’t like that song. Still don’t. And to this day, I haven’t bought or listened to that album even though some critics consider it one of Bowie’s best. There is not a single recording artist whose work I feel compelled to own all of, because there’s not a single recording artist whose entire catalogue appeals to me. I was spending my hard-earned babysitting money and vinyl albums take up space. I made considered choices, few of which I regret, and if it had taken decades for me to discover some of what was available then, well, perhaps we’re led to things when we’re ready for them. And as for judging by covers, in those days Hipgnosis did the state of the art dust jacket art and beside those albums, “Thick as a Brick” was dowdy and pedestrian. I have no regrets, so don’t be so quick to judge.

Hi Warren, now this information about Aqualung is incredibly interesting for me. I remember very lively when this album appeared in 1971 and I became a big fan of Jethro Tull. Yet I didn’t know most of the things you told us here. Really great. I appreciate this very much. It‘s a great album, yes, but the greatest for me is „Thick as a brick“. Also „Stormwatch“, „A“, „The Broadsword and the Beast„ and many, many more are great albums for me. I love Jethro Tull‘s music and own many of there albums. Ian Anderson is an incredible musician and workaholic which he also shows in his solo album „Homo erraticus“. Thank you so much for giving so much new information about Aqualung and Jethro Tull, information I didn‘t know so far. Very, very interesting! 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Feel blessed that I got to see Tull about a half dozen times in the 70's and 80s. They always came up with great riffs and lyrics for songs. Ian is a great front man and entertaining to watch, awesome flautist, and Martin Barre's guitar tone is killer. The rest of the band aren't slackers either. Live their PA engineer made it enjoyable. So many sound guys suck live.
