Jetrho Tull - Thick as a Brick - 1972
Parts of the newspaper do indeed relate to the music and the lyrics in a subtle way, such as a surprisingly frank review of the album itself.

This title refers to another important layer that connects the music, the lyrics with the newspapers' front page story about Gerald "Little Milton" Bostock.
