A (2.4081)Well, what do you know. Ian could write good prog-rock! Many fans kinda dislike this because they feel it's too accessible to the general public, but it is my opinion that these people are nuts.

When I learned that Tull had put out a new album in 2003 and that it was a Christmas-oriented album, I had a two-part reaction that I'm sure mirrored the reactions of thousands of other Tull fans.
