Various Artists /Jethro Tull - Aqualung Redux [Full Album Player]

[@JosephNormoyle]

I'm going to defend this. This isn't supposed to be a faithful version of the album. It's a total re-imagining of it in a stoner rock style. It is darker, grittier, and haunting. I rather enjoy the dark feeling it projects. Instead of being negative realize it's not the original, it's a redo in a totally different style. If it was going to be the original there would be no point to redoing it. Nothing will compare to the original so take it for what it is. I dig it. By the way. I saw Tull a few times. Im a fan an i understand why people are disappointed but try to be open minded. These are stoner rock bands not proggers.

Great tribute. I love it. Those songs and 70s Tull are perfect for a doomier interpretation.

It's only prog rock N roll, but I like it. Without deviation, there can be no progress. -FZ

Well, ain’t this a pip. MOTHER GOOSE and WIND UP are interesting interpretations.

To confront one of the best albums ever made, may cause some disappointment. I like this failure.

I don't know what to say, some of this is incredibly good and some of this is incredibly bad. What a waste of the song Aqualung. Cross Eye Mary is another swing and miss. There's a couple home runs, over all I just don't know.

I’ve been doing faithful covers of JT songs for 40 plus years… vocals, flute and guitar. Aqualung sounds like a so so Puddles the Clown cover. Kind of a cheap thrown together thing. Almost a joke. Voices are somewhat quality. The production is not great. Like they didn’t edit or re do anything. Not sure. Hearing this version I have to ask…. Why? What compels you to throw this together. You had NO other ideas? I understand unique and all that. But .. just semi uhhh. Why would you listen to this twice. I won’t. There’s nothing to draw you back unless you enjoy tedium . Ian…. WTF? Letting these guys touch that masterpiece of yours. Cripes! Cross eyed Mary? Garage band that just didn’t have the instrumentation so they got “ daring” and stripped the soul out and grunged it to death. Also WTF IAN?!?

Some of this is kind of awful. I wish this was done more faithfully. As someone who donated, I am a bit disappointed. Jethro Tull deserves a much better tribute

[@deathclock9]

whatever that cover of the title track was i can only describe as DISRESPECTFUL. it sounded like some drunk ass put a microphone inside his mouth and hummed badly.

[@JosephNormoyle]

It was completely done accopella so no instruments. They literally sung the music through filters. So yes mic in mouth. Lol

@@JosephNormoyle well, they're definitely no Van Canto
