3127. Ian Anderson - What-Ifs, Maybes And Might-Have-Beens

From: Thick as a Brick 2; Year: 2012; Genre: Progressive Rock/Hard Rock

I had this album on my mind this morning and it felt like an excellent day for something off of it anyway.
This is the final song from the concept album, which of course means that it's more or less the reprise that contains musical aspects like themes and melodies as well as revisiting the stories/subject matter.
Because of that this song runs the gambit and has it all; light acoustic all the way to hard rock and everything in between with the complexity turned way up.
What is really interesting for me is that there are parts that would not be out of place in the early to late 70s, early 80s and on. It's a very neat piece indeed.
