To a gradually increasing degree, everything Jethro Tull have brought out after their first four classic LP's has disappointed me. The nadir is definitely 'Stormwatch' which is devoid of decent tunes, decent lyrics, and any hint of emotion. Dire. Ian Anderson lost the plot and the hunger as the dollars rolled in, but I'll always love him for 'This Was', 'Stand Up', 'Aqualung' and (especially) 'Benefit', which are all near-faultless to my ears.
