The leap from 1970's BENEFIT to the following year's AQUALUNG is one of the most 
astonishing progressions in rock history. In the space of one album, Tull went 
from relatively unassuming electrified folk-rock to larger-than-life conceptual 
rock full of sophisticated compositions and complex, intellectual lyrical 
constructs. While the leap to full-blown prog-rock wouldn't be taken until a 
year later on THICK AS A BRICK, the degree to which Tull upped the ante here is 
remarkable. The lyrical concept--the hypocrisy of Christianity in England--is 
stronger than on most other '70s conceptual efforts, but it is ultimately the 
music that makes the album.
