Tull - Thick as a Brick.......2007-07-13

As an undying fan of the rock opera, my tastes rank the top three in the following order: Genesis, "Lamb"; Tull, "Thick as a Brick" and The Who, "Tommy". Coincidentally, few other rock opera exist unless you include Elton John's "Yellow Brick Road" and The Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper". However, I am not completely convinced that a fine line cannot be drawn between what is a collection of songs having a common theme, hence an album, versus a long piece of music that tells a story as is the case with "Lamb" and "Tommy". The question I have, then, is: Given that "Thick as a Brick" is one very long song covering both sides of an LP, does that necessarily qualify it as rock opera? On the CD, Tull comments on the work and clarifies the confusion somewhat by comparing "Thick" as a followup to "Aqualung" as a concept album. I doubt that anyone who has listened to "Aqualung" would fail to understand a story is being told there, but with "Thick as a Brick", is there really a story to it? Yes, there's a progression in how heirs to lands and title "renew the age-old purpose", but a story? I have to believe Ian when he tongue-in-cheek explains how the band spoofed the media into thinking at the time the album was made that the lyrics were written by a 12-year old boy. That is not to say the the lyrics are stupid, by no means! If they had been written by a 12-year old, I would certainly guess the kid to be a genius. But, my question is: Does "Thick as a Brick" tell a story that would qualify it as rock opera? Though, my logical sense says no, my musical sense revels in the marching band cadences, the beautifully constructed acoustic guitar-flute melodies and the way all the pieces mesh. It is truly a rock opera for the ages, whether there's a story to it or not. I love this album! Always have, always will.

Life's a Long Song.......2007-06-20

Simply a classic. This is a Tull album that will never go out of style and can be played over and over. In fact, I've done just that. I'm not an afficianado, but I know what I like. I like Tull. And I like this album.

A wild ride.......2007-06-13

Many years ago, I purchased "Thick as a Brick" on vinyl, expecting a traditional rock album, with a collection of 8 to 10 songs. I was amazed that there was only one song covering both sides. I listened to it once and was completely lost once it got past the first 3 minute edit I had heard on the radio several times.

I was so bewildered that I returned the album for a refund and was suspicious of Jethro Tull for a few years, thinking that maybe they were just too unorthodox for my tastes.

Now that I own all of the Jethro Tull CDs, I am obviously a huge Tull fan and my opinion of "Thick as a Brick" is quite different. I like this album. It might be the best album Tull ever recorded. Or maybe "A Passion Play" is the best (which is similar to "Thick as a Brick" in the sense that they both are continuous play with many movements within).

Or maybe the idea of a single song covering an entire album is too preteneous and less enjoyable for the listener who doesn't have over 40 minutes to spare in one sitting. I'd say that someone who is just starting to get to know Jethro Tull's music should start with an album with a traditional song format. You could choose 'Crest of a Knave,' 'Songs from the Wood,' 'Catfish Rising,' 'Benefit' or 'A.'

Still, this album is nearly one of a kind. If you are relatively new to Tull, I'd play it safe and buy any of the 'Songs from the Wood,' 'Heavy Horses,' 'Stormwatch,' 'A' albums or perhaps 'Crest of a Knave.' But if you tend to like progressive, ambitious albums, buy this one.

Muddled, Pretentious - But Catchy.......2007-04-27

I cannot believe the way some people go on about this LP ... geez ... here's the reality if it. There's some good material here, enough for 4 or 5 good songs. It's mostly on Side 1. Side 2 is like some weird "remix" of similar themes that is fairly unnecessary. The whole weaving of the songs together and pretense towards viewing this as a "concept album" or some merging of pop and classic forms is unnecessary and serves the material badly. So do a few of the arrangements with bouncing pipe organ and so forth that will make most non-fans wince and remind many of us of Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge" (the penultimate Tull parody) and so forth. And the muddy recording quality does this material no favors either.

That's not to say this is a disaster, because Anderson was still writing good stuff, with energy and imagination. I think we would have all been better served if the tracks were broken out seperately and the pretense removed - if this could have been halfway-a-concept-album, songs that relate instead of interlink, like "Aqualung".

They overreached, and the results are mildly interesting.

I don't pretend to be..........2007-04-26

a Jethro Tull fanatic, but I am an old time rocker and I love both Thick as a Brick and Aqualung, and never get tired of putting either in my player and reveling in the past. The other reviewers have done a great job commenting on the arrangements, the musicianship, the lyrics, etc. so I won't attempt to add anything. My point is that there are any number of musicians who write a song or two or even three spoofing the life and times of a rock and roller, e.g. Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good" and John Entwhistle's "Success Story", but a whole record spoofing the genre, i.e. the "concept" album, in a rather subtle way was and still is remarkable. I can remember the rock critics of those days desperately trying to discern the message when the message ultimately is, no more and no less, just great music. So, buy it, play it, and just plain enjoy it for what it is.

Man, I like these guys!.......2005-05-20

As a longtime fan of The Pogues, I bought "Communications and Convictions" on a bit of a whim. I was floored... this is an excellent band! I decided to pick up "Long Dim Road" and this one, and I'm not disappointed.
Probably a few more "ballad"-ish tunes than the other CD's I've mentioned, but no problem, they're good at those. The lyrics can be a bit convoluted at times, but why carp? This is fun, drinking party celtic/folk/punk that is just a joy to listen to. Tracks 2 and 6 stand out to me (I REALLY like mandolin!), but they are all good. The musicianship is excellent, and Tony Duggins has that drunken, slightly off-key growling vocal thing down pat. Makes me want to hoist a pint every time I crank this one up!
The Tossers are more talented and listenable than the Dropkicks or The Real McKenzies, and more traditional sounding and less mainstream than Flogging Molly. Don't get me wrong, no-one can ever even approach the magic of Shane and the boys, but I do think these guys are the best I've heard at this type of music since The Pogues.
Finally, I can't wait until the "statute of limitations" is up on my driving record, so I can cruise 100 miles or so to Chicago to hear these chaps live!!

POUR ME A PINT.......2005-01-05

THIS ALBUM IS GREAT I HAVE ALL THE TOSSERS ALBUMS AND HAVE BEEN GOIN TO THEIR SHOWS FOR A LONG TIME. THIS ALBUM DOESNT HAVE THE PUNK INFLUENCED SONGS LIKE LONG DIM ROAD BUT IS AN AWSOME ALBUM.VERY MATURE VERY GOOD.SURE I MISS THE INTENSE SONGS THEY USED TO PLAY BUT HEY THEYVE BECOME SOMETHING GREAT AND THIS ALBUM PROVES IT.

One of the Best Irish Albums.......2004-10-05

I started to get into the Tossers about a year seeing them in Concert. They are very energentic and seem to love what they do. And by listening to this album really gets my blood flowing with energy and a sudden urge to start a jig. And Being from Chicago where they are from makes even that much better cause i get to see them more. But this Album is excellant and i suggest to purchase this great irish album. Soon or Later they will be up there with the pogues and flogging molly

great album.......2004-03-01

The Tossers are one of my favorite bands and this is one of my favorite CD's by any band. A previous reviewer mentioned that it sounds over produced and lacks energy. I disagree. The Tossers have been around a while and have since learned to play their instuments very well so the music is amazing. Not over produced. And it may not have as much of the screaming vocals and speed such as older songs like "riot" and "aye sire" but you can feel the emotion of the music and vocals more than anything else i've heard from them before. The only thing wrong with the CD is there is only one cover or traditional song, "the parting glass" which is a hidden track. Still, it's definately a 5-star CD. Buy it.

Also, The Tossers are NOT a celtic punk band. People just like to label them that way to feel cool and so they don't have to admit they like celtic folk-rock. They are much closer to celtic hippy than celtic punk.

Drunken tunes.......2003-07-19

I would sy this is one of best celtic punk albums to buy along with any other swingin utters release, the tossers play a good hybrid of genres which works well in pretty much every song its a merry album thats goes well with a barrel of guiness.

This is a perfect album to chill out with but very dull if you're into heavier music. Rockers should probably not bother with this, but check it out first for yourself.

Amazing album from an amazing talent!.......2004-07-06

I normally don't write reviews, but I wanted to tell anyone who is thinking about buying this album to do so immediately. You will not be disappointed! I have been listening to it for a year since I first saw her live and I haven't stopped listening. She is an amazing talent, both as a singer and a songwriter. I keep waiting for her to make it really big so I can say I knew about her when and saw her live at all these small venues. But in the meantime, I'll enjoy this far too well kept of a secret and so will anyone who is smart enough to buy her albums or to see her live.

You've got to see her live.......2003-10-31

I recently had the pleasure to see Patrice live in San Diego, then Northern California. She is an an amazing talent, plus human being. Fencing Under Fire is an amazing album. Patrice writes all of the songs on this album. The songs are many stories that she has experienced throughout her life journies. Every song on the album is worth listening to over and over. Dominiqe is a great mellow song that was based on a character from a book. Angels, probably the best track on the album.. Patrice stands alone a a unique singer songwriter. I highly reccomend anyone who purchases this album, to check her out live.

Can't stop playin' it!.......2003-08-27

This CD hasn't come out of my car CD player since I got it from a friend. There isn't a song I don't like. The lyrics really move me, make me smile, make me think, etc. The guitar playing is smooth and clean and Patrice's voice is amazingly versatile. I own over 1,000 different CD's in all genres, and this is at the top of my all time favorite list.

Cookin'.......2003-02-28

With the breakup of Sister 7 and being dropped by Arista, Patrice formed Blackbox Rebellion and started her own record company. (Interesting fact: Patrice was a classmate of Erykah Badu.) The CD cooks on most tracks. "Jackknife Girl" is a sassy track with great punch. "Ms. Ramona" sounds like a renegade Patti Smith track from her heyday with a ripping electric lead guitar, "At least I'm living with a soul that rips the truth from heaven's lining." "Sweet November" has a softer feel with a pretty melody, "Oh wind, you blow me to my knees; Helpless rush of these memories." My favorite track that is riding high in my personal top ten is "Me & Smooth." Its bubbly rhythm moves so fluidly that it almost percolates, punctuated by the expansive chorus, "I could do everything, but without this love it would not mean a thing; so I'm coming home." "All My Love" has a sassy swagger. The CD concludes with the eerie stateliness of "Volcanoes." Although a couple tracks are slower and don't grab me as much, the high points here are ones not to miss. Cookin'!

Great CD.......2006-06-22

If you like funny, non-serious ska music, then you should definitely head on over to your local CD shop and give this disc a good listen. It's actually structured really well, and it's over-all an amazing CD, even aside from the humerous aspects of it. The horns alongside the guitars and his weird beyond weird vocals making one big explosion together just created a very unique CD. Definitely check it out.

I love how people hate SKA! Ska is very graffic with it's lyrics, most bands smoke weed, it is energetic and the concerts are funner than hell. People need to climb off of their God Damn high horse and learn to have fun and Skank to the beat! Original Rude Boy Style!!!

GREAT ALBUM.......2004-08-18

I remember hearing this back in high school. It was one of the first albums that got me latched onto ska. Pretty much every song on here is great. The Toasters are still around today. Check em @

the toasters are great.......2003-04-23

Hey, if you like ska you need the toasters. They started way back in 1982 and they are pioneers to ska in America. This CD is just plain good. If you can see these guys in concert, DO IT! The lead singer is the only one left from the origional band BUT they still rock. The brass section smokes- the crowd was skankin'(dancing) more to this band whom they'd never heard of then Reel Big Fish- that says a lot. The sax/trumpet/trombone is money.

You don't need to be the Boss to do brilliant folk music.......2006-05-19

Tony Duggins, el lider de The Tossers, abre todos los conciertos de la banda en solitario, a capella o con su mandolina, como la calma que precede a la tormenta. Porque, a pesar de utilizar instrumentos tradicionales, el grupo de Chicago carga su musica irlandesa con alcohol y una abrasiva actitud punk.
"Undone" es el primer album como solista de Duggins, grabado junto a sus colegas de los Tossers aunque, eso si, con su magnifica voz macerada en whisky como gran protagonista. Con un sonido acustico y austero, respaldado por banjo, guitarra, violin, tin whistle, contrabajo, mandolina y bateria, el album es una mezcla de versiones y temas originales. Entre las primeras, las relecturas de baladas de Ewan MacColl, Bob Dylan ("Boots of Spanish Leather ", a duo con Meaghan Yeates), Jimmy McCarthy, Luka Bloom ("(The City Of) Chicago"), y los Pogues ("Broad Majestic Shannon"), y de temas tradicionales ("Goodnight Irene", "I Wish I Was Back in Liverpool", a capella y en directo, o el festivo "Monto"). Y entre las composiciones de Duggins, destaca esa impresionante cancion con mensaje de "Childrens Potential", una proeza de mas de siete minutos a capella.
Sin el toque borrachuzo y gamberro de Shane MacGowan, Duggins aborda las canciones irlandesas con seriedad, y demuestra que es posible hacer un gran disco de folk sin la fanfarria exhibida por Springsteen en su album dedicado a Pete Seeger.

Simply Amazing.......2006-02-25

Duggins has outdone himself. I am an avid fan of The Tossers, along with of course, Dropkick Murphy's, The Pogues, Flogging Molly etc.... This album is rough and uncut and as such is perfect.

The Best of Modern Pop.......2002-04-05

Well, here it is. For those of you who who have been screaming "Why don't they make records like they used to?" - here is the CD to pop in and play. Over and over and over.

Believe it or not, the best description of Linus is "McCartney Light." For those of you who think McCartney's "You Gave Me The Answer," "Calico Skies," "Goodbye (demo)" and other charming ditties are underrated masterpieces, order this album for overnight shipping. Linus (as represented here) is also part Elton John's "Rock of the Westies," part Gilbert O'Sullivan, part Harry Nilsson's tip-of-the-hat "Harry" album, and most of all, The Beach Boys.

His songs are melodic, catchy, and timelessly produced. Melodically and lyrically, "A Whole New Country" is the most McCartney-esque, with it's innocent "A World Without Love"-style lyrics and sing-along melody. "Everyday I Fall in Love Again" is more hopeless-romanticism along the same lines with a slight-Nick Lowe/Elvis Costello touch (but just a touch) and "Thank You For Making Me Feel... Better" is pure smile-era Beach Boys produced in the EXACT same vein as their "Smiley Smile" version of "Vegetables."

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM to all age groups. I'm 26, from Los Angeles. And this is hip stuff no matter where you are listening.

How Irresistable Is This?.......2001-11-29

So catchy, even my 2 year-old walks around the house singing Linus songs! That might sound like a turn-off, but there is enough to the arrangements to bear repeated listenings. what at first may sound like nothing but bubblegum reveals itself to be very intelligent, well-crafted and, yes, maddeningly hooky songs.

Linus is a one-man wrecking crew, apparently playing every instrument on this album, and doing it awfully well. And his choice of cover material is inspired: doing a torch version of the Smoking Popes' punk semi-hit "I Need You Around" and revealing Ozzy Osbourne for the pure pop genius he is with an inspired take on "Goodbye To Romance".

If you like Kinks/Beatles-flavored pop tunes. You should really check this one out!

Kitchen Sink Included.......2001-10-26

Linus of Hollywood sounds a little Beatlish, a little Beach Boyish, and even a little like America. There are some nice moments here, but the pretension of the name--Linus Of Hollywood--comes out in the music too. There are moments on it where I feel like artist and producer sat down and made a concerted effort to include every Pop and Bubblegum pretense into each title; I keep expecting the kitchen sink to come flying out the speakers. The attempt at cute & witty is just a bit too transparent.

There are some things I really like a lot. "Building A Ship" is good, though I could do without the "Greensleeves" flute parts. "I've Lost My Mind" is kind of nice but--here comes the kitchen sink--the oh-so-whacky keyboard and synth break kills it.

This is what Emitt Rhodes would have been with too large a budget. Perhaps there's a more restrained approach in the future that will let these melodies rise above the overproduction.

Worth a listen, but don't expect to walk around humming these tunes for any length of time.

Pleasant.......2001-06-11

Linus has strong melodic gifts in writing and good taste in arranging, but his voice, while strong and pleasing, has a limited range of expression that fails to lift some tracks out of the background. Recommended, but nothing extraordinary.

If a Six Stars'rate had existed..........2001-03-30

I have heard of Trooper a couple years ago but I didn't really know too much about them and I'm so glad that I discovered this album at a record store and I decided to give these guys a try and I'm now glad that I did, Trooper sure has a wide diversity of music and I take that as a good thing, at times they sound like Foreigner, Rare Earth, Orleans, Eagles and the (early) Doobie Brothers, the best songs are No Fun Being Alone, Round Round We Go, Raise a Little Hell and One Good Reason, the rest of the album is solid and there isn't a bad song on here and that is something I don't say too often, I just wish that Trooper would've been as big in the states as they were in Canada and I think that all 70's classic rock fans should check out this album.

I own 5 Trooper albums and this is the best by far. Hot Shots is great, but this album just SHINES!!!!! Ra's vocals are so sharp, the band is so tight, not a bad song on the whole album. Wish they would tour here in Denver!!! Love to get a new album out by them. LONG LIVE TROOPER!!!!!!!!

The best Trooper album ever !!.......2001-05-11

Trooper's 1978 album was there best album ever! With the hit's "Raise a little hell", "Round round we go", "Moment that it takes" & "Say goodnight" (not to mention "The Gambler", "Live from the moon",& "Drive me crazy"), Ra and Brian were at there peak songwriting. Without a doubt one of my Top 10 albums of all time (#4)and a soundtrack to my youth. ...

A classic gem that rock fans of the 70's & 80's would love.......1999-02-25

this is one album from the 70's and 80's period that most folks have never heard of, but i still consider it a classic, "Raise a Little Hell" is probably the only song that some people would recognize, but it is not even the best song on the album. a must for fans of guitar oriented clear lyric type music of this wonderful era...

Not "one" bad song on the entire album........1999-02-21

I bought the vinyl in Canada roughly 19 years ago. Now it's time to purchase the CD...what a great collection of tracks.

you really can't go wrong with the tossers... this new ep features five songs, the excellent title track, which apparently will be on the forthcoming full length record, two takes on traditional irish songs, a bob dylan cover, and an extrordinarily well done version of jerry lee lewis' "rockin my life away." the jerry lee lewis cover is surprisingly faithfull to the original: no punchdrunk irish wanking here, just rock'n roll that could, if we didn't know better, fit nicely on the "loud, fast, and out of control" box set. who knew ol' duggins could belt 'em out like that? not me.

"first league out from land" is an tasty snack for the fans until a new full length is released (i've heard its slated for the springtime). enjoy this, go see 'em live, and have a good time. the tossers will not let you down. ever.

Album Description

Formed in May 2004, THICK AS BLOOD began as seven members forging ahead with a new band that will continue the tradition of South Florida Straight Edge. Harrowing vocals coupled with pummeling breakdowns will leave the listener longing for more. Their convictions infused with influences from today's heavy hitters such as HATEBREED, TERROR, and SWORN ENEMY will make sure they are a staple in today's hardcore scene. Since their inception, THICK AS BLOOD has been making waves not only at home, but on their lengthy tours across the East Coast. They have shared the stage with the likes of EVERGREEN TERRACE, UNTIL THE END, HOODS, and many more. THICK AS BLOOD has one goal in mind, and that is to get their music out to as many people as possible, while trying to be the best at what they do. In 2007, this seven piece outfit will be releasing their debut full length for Eulogy Recordings. Their posterity not only holds new material and extensive tour dates across the U.S., but a drive and will to push towards the top. One thing is certain; the future is bright for THICK AS BLOOD.
