Ian Anderson - Homo Erraticus (KScope)
On number 8 of the top albums for 2014, is the underrated gem by Ian Anderson, the main man of Jethro Tull. This release was inspired by Ian Anderson's manager Gerald Bostock, discovering an old manuscript in a bookshop near his home in Linwell, England. This manuscript was a summary of events past, present and future (!) by British amateur historian Ernest T. Parritt, entitled Homo Britanicus Erraticus. The author himself later died in a sanatorium.
Gerald was inspired by the material in the book and by collaborating with Ian, this album was made as a concept album relating all human history through the lens of aforementioned book. The album is brilliant mixing the old Jethro Tull vibe with newer music elements and incredibly witty lyrics, allegorically speaking about modern lifestyle choices and the futility of all things.
97/100
Below is the Lyric Video from "Enter the Uninvited", one of the many highlights of the album.
