I have never really seen this as a concept album. Sure it has the cover and strong links between the cover and the lyric, and there are no gaps between songs, but for many years I've seen it as a collection of related songs most of which are revisted or reprised.

To quote again from the official Tull site:

"While the "Aqualung's" lyrics are fairly straightforward, "Thick's" metaphorical tendencies are intentionally intricate, obscure, and bewildering as part of the running joke. If there is any true central theme, perhaps it is the sociological experiences of gifted youngsters in the modern world with a touch of paternal relations again."

I'd prefer this not to have the bonus tracks - it's kind of boring having to have to turn it off in order to get the same as the original.
