Snorefest for me. I just don't get it. All the songs sound the same, and the sound is not great. 1.5/5

The Who were such good musicans and Roger Daltry had an incredible voice, but their pre-Tommy recordings are so watered down. It sucks, because the songs here are quite good- “I Can See for Miles” especially- but these aren’t the best versions of themselves. B-

This is such a silly album. I remember my dad showing me this record growing up. I had just gotten way into Weird Al, and so we were going through all of this records that were either weird in art or concept, or just unique artists in general. There was The Who Sell Out, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, and Floyd's Ummagumma, to name a few. When my friends and I all turned 18 and wanted to get tattoos, "Tattoo" was the song we'd get cheesed and laugh with. Nostalgia aside, the album as a whole is just okay. I'm usually pretty hot or cold with The Who, and this album is no exception. I did appreciate the Boris the Spider nod at the end of the weird psychedelic take on Hall of the Mountain King. Overall, yeah, pretty standard issue Who, which is just "meh".
