Benefit

Jethro Tull

A transitional bridge between bluesy folk and complex prog. Heavy guitar riffs collide with eerie, tape-manipulated flute and a new, keyboard-driven depth.

April 20, 1970 · Chrysalis

A brooding, transitional work that balances heavy rock riffs with a damp, autumnal melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The eerie, disorienting swirl of the reverse-recorded flute and piano that opens With You There to Help Me.
The locked-in, heavy blues-rock riff of To Cry You a Song that anchors the album's midsection.
The sudden shift from acoustic fingerpicking to a full-band hard rock explosion in the track Son.
