Aqualung got my attention with "Easier to lie", "Brighter than sunshine" and "something to believe in" which are all in other albums.

I absolutely adore this album. None of the songs are really all that upbeat and most even lack a drum track, but it couldn't have been done any better.

If you are a lover of beautiful voices, quiet, down-tempo waltzes and ballads, and simply gorgeous music, check Aqualung out.
