Jethro Tull: Thick As A Brick

John Swenson, Crawdaddy!, August 1972

THE NEW Tull package is clever, very, and complicated enough to sustain interest over an extended series of listenings. Most albums can be assimilated in five to ten throws but Thick As A Brick requires at least 20 listenings before one can make a final decision about whether the album warrants further listenings.
