Search - Jethro Tull :: Bends Like Willow / All Trickles Down

One Unreleased Track, Two Radio Edits... is it worth it?

"HERES THE BOTTOM LINE COLLECTORS - 5 STARS AVERAGE FAN - 3 STARS Oddly enough this single was released in Europe only by Tull's newly formed Papallion Records. This limited edition is best said a collectors item. If you are set on owning the unreleased track "It All Trickles Down", or if you want part of a limited edition that may be worth some money years away, then get it... it is priced reasonably. The one new song, though, is probably not worth the money to a non-Tull fanatic. My rating is a split between the extremes. Based on the value as a single, for somone who may not have wanted to buy the full CD, this may be a good buy. The two radio edits "Dot Com", and "Bends like a Willow" are good tracks, but not what I expected for their single. "It All Trickles Down" is an odd one... not Mango Flush odd, but not like anything else on the CD! If oddball Tull tracks intrigue you, you may want to give this a spin."

If you liked J-Tull Dot Com...

"I actually liked this album a lot. I am a pretty big Jethro Tull fan, so it figures that I would enjoy any new material, but the new song "It All Trickles Down" was, if a departure from the "normal" Tull sound (if there ever was one), a very nice match with the other two tracks. The whole album is a very nice combination - "Bends like a Willow" and "Dot Com" were my two favorites from J-Tull Dot Com, and "Trickles" fits nicely. A definite five stars for a wonderful, well-connected Tull feel."
