A hard listen, quite dense in places, but totally absorbing and musically skilled. Fascinating concept and lyrics, if pretty abstract. I believe the original live show was amazing. How Ian Anderson did 99% of this beggars belief. I love the Beatles, but jeez, this is amazing. I listened to this again recently after many years and can't get it out of my head. NB. "She Said She Was A Ballerina". Those in the know will clock this reference..
