This wasn't my first time hearing the album, I had actually listened to it more than 2 years prior, and I remembered receiving a good impression, so I relistened with high hopes of potential growth.

Probably one of my favorite albums from Jethro Tull (and of OAT), their second album shows how well Martin Barre fit the band, and how their sound had become (and was becoming) really unique. Almost every track is a standout, but Bourée shows how different they were, and that they had a lot to offer. The bass in this album is MAGNIFICENT. Definitely a classic. Amazing.
