1971 was an odd year for music, and this unusual mix of folk and prog is a prime example. We have weird vocals, elaborate guitar noodling, flutes, fingers in ears and plenty of standing on one leg. It’s definitely not a concept album though, at least according to Ian Anderson. There is a theme of organised religion in opposition to a more hippy, dippy god though, which crops up in several places. This probably seemed very deep and meaningful at the time but I suspect that a lot of the lyrics were chemically assisted.
