NOT HEAVY METAL

While I believe that 'Benefit' IS the best of all Jethro Tull albums, it is extremely misleading to shoppers looking for positive reviews and suggestions of what to buy to call it a HEAVY METAL album or JETHRO TULL a HEAVY METAL band.

The band's roots were in BLUES and they were initially a Blues/Rock band. 'Benefit' itself is a transitional album. It is a brilliant mix of blues, rock and some folk and even jazz influences that would become more important for the band, particularly after 'Aqualung'. But it is NOT, in any way, HEAVY METAL.

If you are looking for a top-quality album, certainly one that belongs in anyone's collection, check this out. If you are only looking for an addition to a Heavy Metal collection---don't bother.

One of my top 10 favorite albums all time

I had never heard this album before, but Jethro Tull is favorite artist so I knew I would like it. Thick as a Brick, Aqualung, and Songs From the Wood are all really awesome albums, but I'd have to say this is about my favorite. 5 stars all day.

Benefit and Standup

I was in high school when I first heard Jethro Tull. Back in those days I had the vinyl of both these albums. My friends and I watched as Tull transformed into a blues / rock giant! To finally find the replacements after searching off and on for years is amazing. Thank You Amazon!

Not Tull's fault

Slowly I have been replacing all my original lps with current cd versions. A little dissappointed when I got this only to find the song 'Teacher' had been removed from the original place. Was excited about the extra tracks, but these included the (uk mix ) of 'Teacher'. I would have preferred to have BOTH versions.

Oh well.
