It's here that Tull finally bursts into full-blown prog-rock mode. While AQUALUNG was a group of discrete compositions united by a theme, THICK AS A BRICK consists of one extended piece that occupies the length of the album.\u003cbr\u003eLyrically, Anderson's intentions are a bit more obscure here, but the sophisticated arrangements and virtuosic performances are enough to carry the show. John Evan's piano and organ are at the heart of this complex piece, which moves through an endless succession of tempos, moods and modes in a manner similar to vintage Genesis or the aforementioned Yes, but with a grittier edge. Most importantly, the whole things flows in a cohesive manner. THICK AS A BRICK demands close attention, but rewards the same handsomely.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45454927757599,"sku":"5099970461923","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/7d033e65dfa9a98d815d3077687c738d_6ffb928a-eee7-48c3-a264-6e04a8aaef2f.jpg?v=1777850994","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/thick-as-a-brick-40th-anniversary-cd-dvd","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
