Excellent record. A debut that doesnt feel like a debut. Feels fully realized and exactly what the intention of the record was.

More thorough revisit to come.

This was necessary. I respect Tommy immensely but I dont like it. I think this record, and all of its hits, was necessary for The Who. Covered on the Are You Listening? Podcast in 2025 as part of a draft of The Who's discography.

I dont love much 90s music aside from all the niche stuff that led to the creations of my favorite genres. That being said this didnt do anything to grab me, anything to hold me or anything to send me on my way pleased. Just a plodding, middling record to me. A shrug is sometimes worse than a dislike..

If post-punk/art-punk was a dirt race track in 1978 then this is the Daytona 500. This is excellent. What it lacks in anything it makes up for in vibe. I actually really enjoyed this.

This is a situation where id like a press release with every album I listen to. At first, it just sounded like a standard jazz record (to an untrained ear like myself) and then I did some reading and wow! This is excellent.
