Our Take

JETHRO TULL's "The Broadsword And The Beast" is like taking a whimsical journey through a mystical forest full of prog-rock wizards and folky enchantments. Ian Anderson's distinctive flute-playing and quirky vocals soar over swirling guitar riffs and thunderous drums, creating a truly unique listening experience.

The album kicks off with the epic title track, where roaring guitars and thunderous drums set the stage for Anderson's cryptic lyrics about ancient battles and mythical creatures. The band's signature blend of prog-rock and folk influences shines through on tracks like "Fallen On Hard Times" and "Seal Driver," showcasing TULL's knack for combining intricate musicianship with catchy hooks.

But it's not all fantasy and fairy tales on "The Broadsword And The Beast." The band also delves into more introspective territory on tracks like "Slow Marching Band" and "Cheerio," where Anderson's introspective lyrics and haunting melodies tug at the heartstrings.

Overall, "The Broadsword And The Beast" is a delightful mix of fantasy, folklore, and musical virtuosity that will leave you spellbound. So grab your sword, don your armour, and embark on a musical quest with JETHRO TULL - you won't regret it.

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.
