This is Jethro Tull's third album. Benefit heralded Jethro Tulls second appearance on Top Of The Pops with “The Witches Promise”. This album saw the introduction of keyboards and the Tull sound maturing. Heavy riff pieces like “Son” and “To Cry You A Song” were included alongside acoustic masterpieces like “Sossity: Your A Woman”. This album is more humourless than Stand Up but like many of Tull's albums it has stood the test of time. It can be heard that Ian Andersons confidence was building and it shows on his vocals and flute playing throughout the album.

In my opinion the finest moment of the first Tull-period. More ripe songs than on the huge successful predecessor "Stand Up" and less heavy-schematical as "Aqualung". But "Benefit" was a big chart success in several countries. I like esp. "With you there to ..." the fabulous somewhat shy guitar playing of new guy Martin Barree on "To cry you a song", a stunning heavy song, or the ballads like "Sossity". Great bonus-song "Witches promise", a successful single 1970 or the heavy "Teacher". One of Tulls finest (in later times overseen) moments ... Good review Tomas
