Album Review

Changes in personnel (yet again) brought forth this rather chilling record. Following the story of a world frozen over, this is a very wintry record from a band that always managed to inject some warmth into even the chilliest of topics. A very cold way to end the seventies.

Customer Reviews

Stormwatch

From haunting to inspirational,this OUTSTANDING work by Ian Anderson showcases the magic this group can create. If you wanted to be transported to another time and place for an hour or so, this album will not leave you wanting. The lrics here, are sheer, BEAUTIFUL poetry!

Stormwatch by Jethro Tull

The 3rd of 3 records in the late 70's (the predecessors being Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses) on which Ian Anderson focuses the musical talents of himself and the group on more acoustical and folkier (or country) themes. Probably the darkest and least accessible of the 3 lyrically because some of the songs focus on a world in crisis (North Sea Oil, Dark Ages, Old Ghosts) where Ian's cynicism shines colorfully at a world filled with conflict and hypocrisy (always with imaginative humor of course), it also contains some of the most beautifully composed acoustical pieces like Home and Dun Ringhill. In contrast, however, it also contains some of the most straightforward rock guitar of the 3 (Something's On the Move, Dark Ages, North Sea Oil) for those mainly interested in Tull's earlier hard rock guitar sound present on Aqualung and Benefit for example. But this album is of a different ilk than those and I find this group of albums quite a refreshing change from the also enjoyed earlier jazzy blues, hard rock, and artier-rock sounds better loved by the majority of Tull fans. But the Whistles in Flying Dutchman and the Irish/Scottish folk sounding Kelpie (the latter included in this re-issue from the original sessions) further demonstrate incredibly ecclectic diversity on this record which can be crticized only because of it lack of musical style consistency...not a bad thing for me at all, but somewhat mystifying for fans and critics who like to pigeonhole this band or want to know what to expect. in terms of its direction. I quite like the inscrutability of it all

Most chilling of all Jethro Tull albums

There were several elements making this the most chilling of all Jethro Tull albums. First, they lost their bass guitarist, John Glascock during the making of this album. The Jetho Tull band line-up changed dramatically after this album was made. The sound reflected dark changes to come.

Some hidden treasures found here include: Elegy, Something's on the Move & Dun Ringill.

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics; and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and five platinum albums. At the same time, critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off the cutting edge of popular music since the end of the 1970s. But no record store in the country would want to be without multiple copies of each of their...
