    It's a cryptic approach, to say the least. [Mar 2022, p.31]

    As with any of Jethro Tull’s early albums, The Zealot Gene demands more than a cursory listen. The intricate arrangements and articulate instrumentation result in a demonstrative display that continues to be well worthy of the Tull legend and legacy.

    There's not much here to rival very top Tull but then nothing that sullies the venerable brand either. [Feb 2022, p.83]

    Each song title is followed by a reference to specific verses from the Bible that have spurred Anderson into lyrical action. The connection is not always easy to make, and sometimes you’re better off just going with his words, although they can take some unravelling at times. But that’s all part of the plan.
