Liner Note Author: Ian Anderson . Recording information: Morgan Studios, North London, England. Arranger: Jethro Tull. As a return to standard-length songs following two epic-length pieces (Thick As a Brick and A Passion Play), it was inevitable that the material on War Child would lack power. The music was no longer quite able to cover for the obscurity of Tull's lyrics: The title track is reasonably successful, but "Queen and Country" seems repetitive and pointless. "Ladies," by contrast, is one of Tull's folk-based pieces, and one of the prettiest songs on the record, beautifully sung and benefiting from some of Anderson's best flute playing to date. The band is very tight but doesn't get to really show its stuff until "Back-Door Angels," after which the album picks up: "Sealion" is one of Anderson's pseudo-philosophical musings on life, mixing full-out electric playing and restrained orchestral backing, while "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day" is a beautiful, largely acoustic number that was popular in concert. "Bungle in the Jungle," with a title that went over well, got most of the radio play. [War Child was reissued in an upgraded, remastered edition during November of 2002, with improved sound and seven bonus tracks recorded during the sessions for the album that add 27 minutes to the original running time. The new tracks include the gently orchestrated instrumental "Warchild Waltz", which is really an overture of sorts, quoting from songs off the finished album and mostly a showcase for conductor/arranger David Palmer and the Philomusica Of London chamber orchestra; the instrumental "Quartet", which is exactly what it says, a piece of chamber music for the group with some low-level accompaniment from the orchestra; the slightly rambling electric guitar and flute driven "Paradise Steakhouse"; the silly sounding but catchy "Sealion 2", which is a worthy follow-up to its previously issued namesake; "Rainbow Blues", which ought to have been released before this, as one of the group's better and more memorable hard-rock numbers of the period; the gorgeous, folk-like acoustic guitar driven "Glory Row", which could have been a single B-side; and the hard, crunchy "Sensation", which is superior to at least a third of the songs on the original LP.] ~ Bruce Eder Two years on from the conceptual innovations of THICKQ (12/00, p.144) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A remarkably coherent collection...demonstrating the full recovery of frontman Ian Anderson's acerbic wit and musical devilment..."

Jethro Tull Warchild Songs Warchild Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews All Of The Pleasure And None Of The Pain... Awesome Jethro Tull Album. All Great and Nothing Bad. Some really good bonus tracks too that make it even better.
A+ Submitted by Carrion (Save The Coral, FL) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
A relevant & timely statement that rocks Warchild has always been among the top Tull albums because of the songwriting ("Skating Away"), the songs with jams that rock ("Sea Lion"), and it's power right up there with Aqualung, Thick as a Brick and Benefit. A return to form after the uneven and at times embarrassing "Too Old to Rock & Roll..." album, here Tull takes aim against war, empire, dopey rock critics, conformity, and stupidity with witty words and Bowie-like sax (Ian Anderson plays them) and weird accordians that rock along with the guitars and organ. Check out 'Warchild' and 'Queen & Country' and the words and feeling from the Nixon era are as relevant today. This is the album you want to play every time your country or world gets into a pointless war and you feel blue about it. Plus, there's that perfect Tull balance of pretty acoustic songs with tasty smart words that make you think plus progressive rockers that rock out with classical, celtic & jazz elements as only Tull can do at their best.

Fantastic album! I love every song on this album. Simply DYNAMITE! Ian is tongue-in-cheek with his lyrics. Musically, this is nothing short of astounding! Submitted by jgarner (Calgary, Canada) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
A great album just got better! Wow! Not only is this a great album from start to finish, but look at all the bonus tracks! And they are great as well. If you like Tull, or really good meaningful music, get this album. There's a bit of an Elizabethan feel to this one. Really cool. And the lyrics, of course, are top-notch. Too bad the movie never happened. Submitted by a fan (Washington) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Essential!!!! I didnt have the insight as Somewhere in England(above reviewer)However this is a great Tull album.Its one of there most whimsical sounding albums, but still retains Mr Andersons often subversive humor. Submitted by cg531 (NYC, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
