Jethro Tull: Aqualung

LP Record For many, Aqualung is Tull's masterpiece. The title track and "Locomotive Breath", with their catchy riffs, alongside "My God", "Cross-Eyed Mary", and "Hymn 43", will go down in rock history as classics. Its commercial success is undisputed, having sold over seven million copies and still outselling all other titles in the catalogue. Yet Aqualung is probably Tull's most misunderstood album. Critics label it a concept album, mainly due to Anderson's critical and sceptical views on organised religion, particularly on side B ("My God"). Anderson has disputed this assessment, almost resenting it, as he considers the record to be "just a collection of songs".
