The band had truly found their sound with this album, and although it was never nearly as its follower, the multi-platinum smash Aqualung, I feel it is actually a better album! The band kicks off their third album with a tune called With You There To Help Me. It's astonishing that this song never became one of the big hits, because it's one of the best songs they EVER recorded! Basically, this song takes everything that you love about the band and rolls it all together into a single song! Who could ask for anything more? Next up we get Nothing To Say. This song is a bit more of a standard rocker than its predecessor, but it's a solid rocker with a distinctive Tull sound nonetheless. With track three, Inside, the band takes on the medieval folk-type sound that they are often associated with. It's a little more "poppy" than the other songs, but a good one nonetheless. Son, my personal favorite track on the album, comes next. Many bands in this era felt it necessary to record "generation gap" songs, and here we get Tull's take on the subject. The end result is a progressive masterpiece, which is a harder rocker than the other tracks. To Cry You A Song, while a strange tune, is good nonetheless . The song tends to focus more on imagery than simply "telling" like most band's song's do. Again, it's weird but good. A Time For Everything couldn't be much more different from the previous track. It's a more straightforward tune, with an excellent message to it - don't waste time. Play In Time is the band's "talk to the audience" song. It's another one of the band's "strange but excellent" songs, and you've gotta love Anderson's flute. Sossity, You're A Woman closes out the album. It's a fantastic song about the way society behaves (Sossity even sounds a lot like society), and it's a shame this one tends to go overrated. All in all, an excellent, non-commercial effort by a great band. Like the other Jethro Tull remasters , this one features remastering, expanded liner notes, and bonus tracks The bonus tracks are excellent. Several of them are single tracks that never actually made it onto an album, and for years before this reissue had been nearly impossible to find on CD. Among the bonus tracks is Teacher, which has become a fairly popular Tull song over the years. Benefit is, in my opinion, the finest Jethro Tull album . It's a shame that the mass popularity of the follow-up Aqualung made people forget about this one, because this one is a true Tull masterpiece, and in my mind, it's even better than Aqualung. No Tull collection is complete without this album. Track Listings 1. With You There To Help Me 2. Nothing To Say 3. Alive And Well And Living In 4. Son 5. For Michael Collins, Jeffrey And Me 6.
