    Reasons you guys are the best reaction channel out there:
    1- you don't pause the songs, and you keep talking during the songs at a minimum.
    2- you notice little details in the music, even things buried in the mix.
    3- you read the comments and listen to your subscribers. (It really does feel like a community! )
    4- you talk amongst yourselves, and try to find the deeper meanings of the songs.
    5- my personal favorite reason - you've listened to the whole Pink Floyd discography!
    Keep it up guys!

      @Flyin Pig Music
      Thank you so much, the fact that you and a couple others are expressing what specifically you find noteworthy in us that makes us different is truly humbling. This is the best passion project we could’ve embarked on right in the middle of College. And DAMN STRAIGHT on the Floyd roots. True story, I heard Dark side of the Moon, The Wall, and Wish you were Here my senior year in High School, and knew I HAD to check out the roots to their sound. Started this channel very shortly after, watched a reaction for “Wish you were here” from Lost in Vegas sparking the match that got me wanting to do it, the rest is history. I knew that this genre and culture had something to offer that if anything I wanted to capture my personal reactions for my future self, and then having so many of you lovely folks joining along has just made it truly a blessing in regards to the type of culture we have developed together, passing the torch of good music/influence on to the next generation of music enthusiasts. So, thank you for having genuine acknowledgements on our quality it seriously means the world to me! Sorry for rambling, lol! Cheers friend see ya ‘round! 🔥🤟🏻😁

    Classically trained flutist here. People had to invent sheet music notations to describe Ian Anderson's flute techniques, like singing or buzzing into the flute while he plays and playing harmonics. Learning to play like him is so fun, and a master class in innovation.

      If you guys are going to listen to more Tull, "Teacher" should be next on you're list. Just make sure you get the right version! The U.S. version includes Ian's flute, but the original release does not. The version with flute is (of course) much better. You should also check out "(Skating Away) On The Thin Ice Of A New Day", "Songs From The Wood", and "Thick As A Brick". They all showcase how the band's sound could change (in a good way) from album to album.

    I started listening to Jethro Tull in 1969, in my junior year in college, and haven't looked back since. Ian Anderson is a modern-day musical genius. As much as Aqualung and Thick As A Brick are my two top Tull albums, my top favorite true rock and roll Tull song of all time, musically speaking, is STEEL MONKEY from the album Crest of a Knave. If you don't review it, at least listen to it. You won't be disappointed.

      Yea it’s cool to hear a couple of songs to get you into the band but the down fall of making every song a reaction video is that you can’t really do a full album reaction. Most people start getting bored during an album and don’t give the entire album the attention it deserves so they don’t think the album is that good. But once you hear a song or two you needs go ahead and hear the full thing.

      The story is that the record company was pushing Tull to tour even more than they had for Benefit, especially back to the US. Ian was okay with it - he’s still touring almost 50 years later! Clive Bunker was road-sick, wanted to stay home with family. Jeffery Hammond was new to the band since Aqualung (Ian Anderson’s schoolmate from art college) and John Evan (another school pal) had been with them only since the Benefit tour. Martin Barre was a trooper, he played with the band into the 2000s.
      It was a matter of practicality - the band needed a new drummer for the Aqualung tour and Barimore Barlow fit the bill.

    I said this before about Tull - they weren't the easiest band to warm up to....you really had to listen to their music over and over to let it sink in. I was 16 when I saw them for the 1st time on their Passion Play tour, which is an album that often gets overlooked. Mr. Aitraining had it right...Tull isn't so much of a singles band, but more of a concept. I well remember just getting buzzed up, drink a beer or two, turn on the black lights, and listen to the early Tull LP's from start to finish...with no interruptions! That's how I realky started to appreciate the high level talent of this band.

      system, & we stayed there partying for hours. None of us made it to work the next day...I was busy walking 4 miles home at 8 in the morning...god it was fun being young, huh?

You have given a genuine and honest reaction and review of the song as a whole (and the band as a whole). I am a mad Jethro Tull fan and at 43, have been listening to them pretty much all of my years.. hehe.., so I love watching new people seeing or hearing them for the first time. It's especially fun if they are as impressed as all the fans are. Cool video! Also, have you heard about their iconic Thick As A Brick album? Do yourselves a favour and check it out.

    But all of their albums reflect a theme, and the Aqualung album is as different from Songs from the Woods as is possible.
    It’s hard to believe it’s the same band, honestly.
    Quick list:
    Bangers:
    Hymn 43, Bungle in the Jungle, Teacher, Mother Goose
    Ballads:
    Cry You a Song, Moths, Songs from the Woods, Wondering Aloud, Budapest
    Pure musicianship:
    Bouree, By Kind Permission Of, Skating Away, Heavy Horses
    Enjoy the journey my friends.
