What are we listening to now?

Jethro Tull's Warchild. Man, that's sweet. Takes me right back. I lost my rock and roll virginity (not my sexual virginity) to Jethro Tull. I found a copy of Aqualung in the locker room at school in the seventh grade. I turned it in to the teacher, and when no one claimed it, he let me have it. I played that record to death. I know every word, every note of every song. It's one solid unit to me. Not, this song and that one, I like, and uh, the rest is ok. Practically a theme album, to be consumed completely, in order. Well, to me anyway.

Warchild is considerably younger, and isn't the same integrated whole, but still rocks, and has some brilliant tracks on it. As a bonus in my old age, the "newly remastered" cd has all 10 original tracks on it, including favorites like "Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of A New Day" (the reason I bought the disc), Warchild, and Bungle In Ihe Jungle, but SEVEN bonus tracks! Practically another whole album. Sweet.
