Ian’s all about the romance this album. Not romance in the sense of candle-lit dinners and bouquets, mind you. But weird analogies and allusions to love and how much he needs his significant other. Kinda sweet, though, in its own way?

Well, we've made it. Everyone was cringing in anticipation of this one. Ian has been very artistic in his allusions to naughty things in the past. ...did he just give up on this one? Or, is it the ouroboros of allegory and it *seems* like it's just one-note, but there's something beneath?

A sister song to last week. We know about Baldr, and we know what happened to him. But what about Loki? Is he good-hearted and he gets carried away sometimes? Or is there malicious intent beneath the facade of the rascally scamp? We can probably interpret it both ways. And several other ways besides. And we probably will!

A real working man’s song to start off the album. We gone from medieval farmer/hunter, to fisherman, to super spy, and now we land on a man who works the steel. Ian leans into the blue collar aspect of Tull with this one. And it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Another pair of instrumentals this week. The last of our tracks from the Christmas Album, in fact! We start out with a funky jam, as Tull is wont to do with Christmas tunes. But we wrap up with a really gorgeous, haunting piece. An introspective and lovely way to round out the year.

What. The hay. Okay, we’re thinking Cold War era, right? Is our Tall General a nuke? Is it the dude pushing the button (…out, button in) to launch the aforementioned missile? It doesn’t seem like it’s heavily veiled, this one, but it appears to be chock full of vague and perhaps dated references. We’ll do our best with this, the final track off of Under Wraps.

Ever on top of technology, Ian observes the state of the automotive industry. Where was it when he was a wee lad in the fens of Scotland? What were the trends then? And how has it evolved over the years, into the mid-80s? It’s all about the development of the science and engineering, baby.

It all comes to a head in this one song! It explains everything, all of the tracks that we’ve listened to on this album! Or does it? Okay, maybe not. But I can really dig the big reveal in this song, that tells us a little about Ian’s mindset. If you gotta deal with opportunistic invasive parasites like the paparazzi, you might as well have a little fun while doing it, right?

Things haven’t gone well for our hero. He’s gotta scarper, and fast-like. It appears that he doesn’t have a whole lot of time for goodbyes, he’s gotta get gone, beat feet before his spot’s blown up - possibly quite literally. Is he addressing an adversary in this? Or his lover, Svetlana? Or are they one-in-the-same?!

Seems like our heroes in a tight spot. Has he been made? Is he being tracked and followed by any number of unidentified cars? Or is the job getting to him, and he’s seeing Ivan everywhere? Sounds like, if he can survive until extraction, our hero needs a bit of a vacation. Maybe he and Svetlana can go to Cabo for a few weeks.

We have a bit of mystery on our hands here! A frigid landscape, a disappearance, an unclaimed pair of snow shoes. Is it strange experience for our spy hero? Or is it allegory for a one-night stand? That’s the beauty of Ian’s lyrics - they’ll haunt us all forever, never quite knowing what we’re hearing.

The first half of the song comes across as rather innocuous, maybe a new narrator altogether, just looking up at the sky from his observatory…albeit naked. But then we get a little bit more detail - we hear mention of secrets and *you*, shame and consequences. And don’t forget the Big Bang. Never forget the Big Bang…

Can’t confuse this one this week. No romance here. Did our protagonist make his decision after Saboteur and decide to be just a spy, his love for Mother England winning out? Or maybe he just had a job that really needed taking care of, and then he’ll return to his blonde bombshell when he’s done? Either way, spies!

There may be an over-arching story forming for this album! Is this our same narrator, and his same love interest? Seems like our spy is having a hard time deciding whom he loves more: his country or his newly discovered love. Whatever decision he comes to, he’ll be a saboteur to the other. No one ever said being a super sexy awesome spy was filled with easy decisions.

True to form for this album, we get a song that, at first glance, seems like one of the two: romance or spy thriller. But, also true to the genre of spy thriller, they are not mutually exclusive. Our sexy spy and his sexy damsel shared a sexy moment, it seems.

We've all had that night, once or twice. We have a couple of drinky-poos. The night slips away. We wake up in someone else's pants, a duck duct taped to your hand. A construction crew is pounding away inside your skull, and you've somehow misplaced your bones. If you're Ian (or Nik or Omen, for that matter), this might happen after a particularly strong kombucha.

A super specific, but actually super sweet, song about telling your loved one how much you appreciate them and how important they are in your life. Or maybe a pickup line based on that idea... And then a button of a ditty, just saying g'bye m'darling.

The first song to feature friend o' the pod - JDA! Ian's fatherhood is showing here, and it's a bit endearing (don't tell him!) It's also so very 80s to write a song about not getting batteries with the toy you bought your kid for Christmas, isn't it? Where are the batteries for my synth?!

We know Ian's not Christian. But is he a man of God? I'm inclined to think so... If this song is any indicator, he certainly repeats it enough! But, is this just another Ian character? Another facade he dons? That's a tough one.

A trio of instrumentals. Some better than others. But still really solid, all of them. We get a funky new instrument, we get the blues filtered through the Tull lens, and mythic creature combat!

An environmental, capitalistic romp. Another example of Ian's less-than-veiled commentary on the consequences of wrecking the environment, and those who thrive on capitalism, at the expense of that environment.

The final bonus track off of Heavy Horses. The full piece, after having hinted last week. Not quite as wordy as Horse-Hoeing Husbandry, but certainly not as fluid as other Tull we've heard. Regardless, both Momes love it, so that's some bonus points, right?

Something we haven't dabbled with in a while: a two-tracker, both instrumentals! The first is clearly another example of a practice track, but one that was recorded live on a few occasions. The other is the theme to next week's full song; a preview, if you will of what's to come, the final bonus track for Heavy Horses next week!

A lighthearted take on getting through the lean years in one's life. The boys of Tull sure paid their dues to get where they are, but that doesn't mean that they forget where they came from. It's not necessarily consolation. Perhaps a reminder? Or commiseration to some degree?

What seems to be something of a less-than-opaque tune still manages to offer some insight into the album as a whole. It builds on the story, tells us a little more about Ray as a person, and even confirms that Salamander is, in fact, another character in our Rock'n'Roll epic.

A song of confusing imagery, musing upon muses in a mews, and some rather depressing characters. Omen seems to have a handle on it, though, don't worry. He'll guide us, mostly successfully, through this landscape of unclear poetics.

Rife with allegory, imagery, poetry ... and confusion. But, it's all nestled softly in the bossomy arms of Ian's acoustic. Plus, more of Dee's lovely strings to sweep us away as we try to figure out just what the heck Ian is singing about.
