It’s kind of funny, I think it’s this album where The Who start to match, if not better their live performances, but I just don’t like the concept behind the album. And unfortunately, most of the songs don’t work without recognizing the story at large. There’s some gold here, and some all-time best performances from the band, but I much prefer Who’s Next and Quadrophenia. B
Heavy 1001 is Heavy reviews
Overlong and a bit preachy in hindsight, this album nonetheless contains some absolute bangers like Pinball Wizard and Acid Queen.
How can you not love an opening track with flugelhorn? Overall just OK.
Man, the number of times I found myself bored listening to this was just, way too many times. 2/5
