Album Notes & Community Reviews
The final installment of Jethro Tull's late-70s folk-rock trilogy is a noticeably darker, heavily pessimistic reflection on environmental degradation and societal greed. 'Stormwatch' weaves incredibly cold, mysterious synthesizers with Ian Anderson's signature flute and acoustic guitar, creating a wonderfully eclectic, deeply conscious, and decidedly wintery progressive rock record.
