Jethro Tull's Roots To Branches is a VERY good album, stylistically that one is closer to their late 70's style along the lines of Heavy Horses and Stormwatch. I saw that tour and they were excellent. "Valley" is my favorite song from that album.

Mastodon - The Hunter

Listen to this man, a great later day Jethro Tull album.

Personally, I don't care for Roots To Branches that much. I like Catfish Rising a lot more

It's in St. Louis. I imagine it's a pretty common name for a CD store.

Hadn't been there since I stopped working at Corporate about 8 years ago. The store really shows the impact of lower CD sales. I used to be able to go in there and get about 12-15 CDs per visit. This week I went 2 days in a row and only came out with 9. And they now have as many racks of vinyl as they do of CDs. Kinda sad. These are the first CDs I've bought at a brick and mortar store in years (barring the Walmart exclusives).

The pictures in this Animals packaging are pretty cool. They're the actual photos of the pig balloon flying over the factory that was used for the album cover. Other than that though, the packaging is pretty weak. No new information, nothing about the mastering and it's a digipak. It will still be worth it if the sound is improved.

Yep! I'm quite impressed. What amazes me the most is that this is an Italian band but I'd swear the vocalist sounds like he hails from the good ol' USA south.

Chickenfoot - III
