“Benefit” is the third studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released in 1970. It’s often considered a transitional album for the band, bridging the gap between their earlier blues-rock sound and the more intricate, folk-inspired style they would become known for in subsequent releases.

The album features a mix of hard rock, folk, and blues elements, with Ian Anderson’s distinctive flute playing adding a unique dimension to the band’s sound. Lyrically, the album explores themes of introspection, disillusionment, and social commentary. Standout tracks include “Teacher,” “To Cry You a Song,” and “Sossity; You’re a Woman.”

“Benefit” received positive reviews upon its release and is regarded as one of Jethro Tull’s classic albums.
