It entered the Billboard chart at No. 55. Concept overviewAccording to Anderson, TAAB 2 (pronounced {{IPAc-en|t|æ|b|_|t|uː}} by Anderson) focuses on Gerald Bostock, the fictional boy genius author of the original album, forty years later. "I wonder what the eight-year-old Gerald Bostock would be doing today. Would the fabled newspaper still exist?"[1] The follow-up album presents five divergent, hypothetical life stories for Gerald Bostock, including a greedy investment banker, a homosexual homeless man, a soldier in the Afghan War, a sanctimonious evangelist preacher, and a most ordinary man who (married and childless) runs a corner store; by the end of the album, however, all five possibilities seem to converge in a similar concluding moment of gloomy or pitiful solitude.[2] In March 2012, to follow the style of the mock-newspaper cover (The St Cleve Chronicle and Linwell Advertiser) of the original Thick as a Brick album, an online newspaper was set up, simply titled StCleve. Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[3] | rev2 = PopMatters | rev2Score = 5/10[4] | rev3 = Sputnik Music | rev3Score = 4.0/5[5] }}AllMusic gave three stars to the album, calling it: "cleaner and streamlined, not as indulgent or idealistic as [Anderson's] younger work, boasting a more sensible structure, yet it still bears all of his signatures from the flute to rambling folk-rock".[6] The album debuted at No. 55 on the Billboard chart, at No. 13 in the German Albums Chart,[7] at No. 12 in the Finnish Album Chart,[8] at No. 19 in the Austrian Album Charts,[9] at No. 30 in the Norwegian Album Charts,[10] at No. 31 in the Swiss Album Charts,[11] at number No. 74 on the Canadian Albums Chart,[12] at No. 35 on the UK charts,[13] at No. 76 in the Dutch Album Chart[14] and at No. 99 on the Spanish charts.[15] Live performances{{Main|Thick as a Brick - Live in Iceland}}Anderson performed the entire album live on tour in 2012.[16] In August 2014, Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson released CD/DVD/Blu-ray Thick as a Brick - Live in Iceland. The concert was recorded in Reykjavík, Iceland on 22 June 2012 and featured complete Thick as a Brick and Thick as a Brick 2 performances by the Ian Anderson Touring Band.[17] Track listingThe original Thick as a Brick consists of only two long tracks comprising a single song, while the TAAB 2 lists 17 separate songs merged into 13 distinct tracks (some labelled as medleys), although also all flowing together much like a single song. {{tracklist| all_writing = Ian Anderson | title1 = From a Pebble Thrown | length1 = 3:05 | title2 = Medley: Pebbles Instrumental / Might-Have-Beens | length2 = 4:21 | title3 = Medley: Upper Sixth Loan Shark / Banker Bets, Banker Wins | length3 = 5:41 | title4 = Swing It Far | length4 = 3:28 | title5 = Adrift and Dumfounded | length5 = 4:25 | title6 = Old School Song | length6 = 3:07 | title7 = Wootton Bassett Town | length7 = 3:44 | title8 = Medley: Power and Spirit / Give Till It Hurts | length8 = 3:11 | title9 = Medley: Cosy Corner / Shunt and Shuffle | length9 = 3:37 | title10 = A Change of Horses | length10 = 8:04 | title11 = Confessional | length11 = 3:09 | title12 = Kismet in Suburbia | length12 = 4:17 | title13 = What-ifs, Maybes and Might-Have-Beens | length13 = 3:36 | total_length = 53:45 }} DVDThe 2-disc edition includes a DVD with the following contents:
