Talk:Thick as a Brick

Radio Version

Could someone explain which part(s) of this album are used in the radio edit?

Lyrics

I've tried to explain what some of the lyrics mean but I'm not too happy with the way they came out. CambridgeBayWeather 07:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

wouldn't it be better if Gerald Bostock were merged with this article? — goethean ॐ 16:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

25th anniversary cover

The album cover for the 25th Anniversary edition is slightly different from the art that’s currently shown in the article, so I’m going to add it as an alternate cover. If you have any qualms, explain them below. —BrOnXbOmBr21 06:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ThickAsABrick25thAnniv.jpg

Image:ThickAsABrick25thAnniv.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.\

Needs to be changed

Don't you think that this is written too informallly? Especially the section about the title of the song, it's like talking with a fan of Jethro Tull. I think it is no appropriate for Wikipedia.--78.84.184.201 (talk) 11:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree, completely inappropriate - and have removed it.

Capitalization

As should be capitalized. It's an adverb, not a preposition as it might seem. "To the same extent or degree; equally: The child sang as sweetly as a nightingale." for example. Pixel Eater (talk) 03:08, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

After reading this[[1]], I believe the lowercase is correct and should remain. This is an instance of the construction "as...as" with the first "as" only implied ("[as] thick as a brick"). In this structure, it's the (here omitted) first "as" that has the adverbial meaning of "equally." The second "as" is a preposition similar to "like." Richard K.

Long-delayed?

This sentence worries me somewhat:

On April 3, 2012, Ian Anderson released a long-delayed sequel, "Thick As a Brick 2", ...

I have been following Jethro Tull for a quite a while now, and have never heard the idea that a sequel had been in the pipeline until last year. And nothing that Ian Anderson has said gives me the impression that he has been working on this until the last two years. "Long-delayed" is just pure hyperbole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.130.71.68 (talk) 07:23, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Chart

Did it really not chart in the UK? Did it only chart in the US, Australia, and Canada? 146.198.128.142 (talk) 23:28, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
