5524. Jethro Tull - Occasional Demons
 |
| From: Catfish Rising; Year: 1991; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock |
Catfish Rising is an album that really takes me back, not to when it was released, but when I bought it and first hit play on the CD player. That would be somewhere around '99-'00 when I was working at a fast food restaurant and started purchasing music that I liked. If memory serves me correctly, I got this one along with the other 'Tull CDs Rock Island and Roots To Branches at the same time online from a website that I do not know if it still exists; for me it was a brand new thing to buy online at the time.
Anyway, this is one of their albums that I like about half the songs on it; definitely not "album oriented rock." Occasional Demons was one of the top ones I really liked, it had a lot of wot I liked about the band at the time: the light and spacious sections of the song with Martin Barre's solos and the heavy rhythm section, and of course Ian Anderson still had a lot of power in his vocals. However, there is one aspect I absolutely love about this album and the two previous: the crystal clear sound from the excellent production and mixing. You can hear every instrument in almost perfect clarity at any volume; but I guess this was prior to that "loudness war."
