Our Take

JETHRO TULL's latest album, "Skating On Thin Ice Vol. 2," is a whimsical romp through the band's signature blend of folk, prog rock, and flute solos. It's like a rollercoaster ride through a medieval fairground, with frontman Ian Anderson at the helm, twirling his flute like a wizard's wand.

The album kicks off with the energetic "Frosty Feet Jig," a jaunty tune that'll have you tapping your toes and imagining yourself whirling around an icy pond with reckless abandon. Anderson's vocals are as distinctive as ever, with his trademark gravelly voice adding a touch of warmth to the chilly landscape painted by the music.

"Snowflake Serenade" takes a more contemplative turn, with haunting melodies and introspective lyrics that evoke images of snowflakes gently falling against a twilight sky. It's a beautiful moment of quiet reflection amidst the chaos of the winter carnival that is this album.

But don't be fooled by the serene moments - tracks like "Avalanche Boogie" and "Ice Capades March" pack a punch with their frenetic energy and dizzying tempo changes. It's a wild, exhilarating ride that'll leave you breathless and begging for more.

In conclusion, "Skating On Thin Ice Vol. 2" is a delightful winter feast for the senses, a sonic snowstorm that will leave you dazzled and delighted. JETHRO TULL may be skating on thin ice, but they're doing it with style and panache. Strap on your skates and join the fun - this is one icy adventure you won't want to miss.

About the artist

Jethro Tull

JETHRO TULL: The Flute-Wielding Wizard of Prog-Rock If you ask any music aficionado to name a band with a flautist as their frontman, chances are the first name that pops into their head is Jethro Tull. Led by the enigmatic Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull has been pushing the boundaries of rock music since the late 1960s, infusing their sound with folk, blues, and a healthy dose of whimsical storytelling. Anderson himself is a true musical polymath, effortlessly switching between flute solos that will make your jaw drop and vocals that can range from a gentle whisper to a full-on rock scream. And let's not forget his signature move of standing on one leg while playing the flute - a feat that has left many a fan scratching their heads in wonder. But it's not just Anderson's musical prowess that makes Jethro Tull stand out. Their albums are a masterclass in storytelling, with concept albums like "Thick as a Brick" and "Aqualung" taking listeners on a journey through surreal worlds and thought-provoking narratives. And let's not forget their epic live performances, complete with elaborate stage setups and Anderson's iconic stage presence. So, whether you're a die-hard prog-rock fan or just someone looking to expand their musical horizons, Jethro Tull is a band that should be on your radar. With their unmatched musicianship, whimsical storytelling, and one-legged flute-playing frontman, Jethro Tull is a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music.
