Mar 18, 2025Curious Ruminant will not sate anybody’s desire for a tub-thumping Tull album, but Anderson seems to be beyond that now. Instead his mind is overflowing with lyrical tangents and still capable of dispensing hooks, and he’s entering the final stages in fine fettle. [Apr 2025, p.70]

Mar 18, 2025Tull’s strangely titled 24th studio effort breaks no new ground, yet would fit seamlessly into the band’s run of polished 80s albums like Crest Of A Knave and Rock Island. [Mar 2025, p.105]

UncutMar 18, 2025The mix of prog, neo-classical and folkish influences, with Anderson's flute as ubiquitous as ever, is exactly as you'd expect, yet he has plenty to say of contemporary relevance in songs about Israel ("Over Jerusalem"), climate change ("Savannah Of Paddington Green") and the avarice of politicians ("Dunsinane Hill").
