Title: The best of Jethro Tull
Review: This disc has some of the best Tull tunes, although, as with most of Best of Compilations, there are quite a few more songs by that group that should be included in a second disc.

Title: Not the "Greatest Hits" Album That Some Say It Is
Review: Ian Anderson's hand-picked version of "The Very Best of Jethro Tull" is an honest beginner's manual, a history lesson, a modest musical snapshot. There is a difference between the terms "greatest hits" and "best of"-the former refers to the successful singles, while the latter refers to songs that represent a band at their high point whether those songs were popular or not. This 20-track, single disc collection excels due to its honesty and Anderson's refusal to become a hypocrite; as he explains in his humorous liner notes, he stopped bashing compilations because he realized that half of his own CD collection consists of best-of and/or hits packages. "The Very Best of Jethro Tull" does its best to describe various points in the band's lexicon to the lucky new listener. There are moments that range from the legendary (`Aqualung,' a shortened `Thick as a Brick,' `Locomotive Breath'), then to what Anderson aptly calls "spectacular duds"-from the critically dismissed (the short masterpiece `Too Old To Rock N' Roll: Too Young To Die'), to some pieces from the later parts of Tull's career (`Roots To Branches,' `Steel Monkey'--headbangers were horrified that Tull won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Performance). Some pieces of the Jethro Tull puzzle have been excluded however; albums such as "A" and "Under Wraps" may not have been successful but are still noteworthy points in the band's thirty-plus years; some of these albums may be shown on the front cover collage but are missing from the gallery of album covers in the CD booklet. But perhaps they are being reserved for a worthwhile sequel.The tracks are not in chronological order for once, but rather the sequencing has been chosen to make a balanced tapestry of different signatures, moods, and themes, which is much more creative than simply putting the songs in the order they were released. Some songs have been newly edited but that doesn't make them any less enjoyable; Anderson compares the reasons for the edits to the reason one might castrate a family dog. Aside from all this, there's little more one can say without repeating himself; "The Very Best of Jethro Tull" is an honest compilation, and thankfully doesn't tout itself as an "essential" history disc.

Title: I like it.
Review: To me, this is an "oldy" release, meaning I remember it when first released. I was reminded of some of the songs, listened online and decided to get the CD. Of course, three days later the CD player in the car died, so I'll have to use it somewhere in the house. I'm not a music expert who can comment of tone, or pacing, or whatever, but I like this and I'm glad I got it.

Review: Ennesima raccolta dei loro brani di questo gruppo che si è distinto dalla fine degli anni 60 fino a .......sempre, perchè la loro musica non morirà mai, la genialità del suo fondatore Ian Anderson ne fa un capostipite di quel progressive rock contraddistinto dalla presenza dominante del flauto traverso, suonato dal suo virtuoso leader. Per chi ama un pezzo di storia e della buona musica e super consigliato. Buona la registrazione audio e prezzo ottimo.
