The cover of this first actual Jethro Tull album since 1979’s Stormwatch depicts Ian Anderson as an elf-warrior, with wings and a sword, and a ship with a stylized Norse dragon’s head. Anyone expecting a fantasy or heavy metal album was due for a disappointment, however, for most of the songs that have any identifiable references are about topical politics more than anything else.

Jethro Tull’s first LP-length epic is a masterpiece in the annals of progressive rock, and one of the few works of its kind that still holds up decades later. Mixing hard rock and English folk music with classical influences, set to stream-of-consciousness lyrics so dense with imagery that one might spend weeks pondering their meaning — assuming one feels the need to do so — the group created a dazzling tour de force, at once playful, profound, and challenging, without overwhelming the listener.

Jeff Lynne's ELO - From Out Of Nowhere (2019)

Unlike either its predecessor Alone in the Universe or 2001’s Zoom, From out of Nowhere didn’t appear after a prolonged period of silence from Jeff Lynne’s ELO. It arrived in November of 2019, nearly exactly four years after Alone in the Universe, a rapid turnaround that recalls Lynne’s work schedule as a bandleader and producer in the 1970s and ’80s. That’s not the only way From out of Nowhere conjures memories of the past. Continue reading “Jeff Lynne’s ELO – From Out Of Nowhere (2019)”
