holy shit, the guys from the csi:miami ahh theme song
I've officially decided that I am not a fan of the Who in any way, shape, or form. All the vocals annoys me, the instrumentals are about as generic old white guy as you can get, and frankly it just isn't impressive or enjoyable to me. I can recognize the quality of Keith Moon's drumming, but a single drummer does not make a band good, and frankly with one of the most obnoxious finales in rock history, I'm going to throw this into the "influential for the worse" pile alongside Yeezus. Congrats, Who, you made power pop. Now every single other rock band will outclass you on it. That's truly revolutionary.

Not a good album
I hate it and almost everything the Who did. Roger Daltrey always came across as a complete knob.
cannot bring myself to care
I'm beginning to lose faith in this experiment.
Bad bad start to this. Just can't stand The Who.
no soporto a los who
The slower numbers such as Love aint for keeping & the very proggy The song is over remain highlights. The classic Won't get fooled again certainly provides a shift of pace. Otherwise the album is a mish mash without any real cohesion. The combination of Moon & Entwhistle remain of top form throughout but not enough to lift this album past mediocre.
Excellent. A true classic
Nah
Not sure exactly what it is that makes me hate Pete Townsend so much. Maybe it's because his stage antics are so deliberate and scripted and ripped off from the Stones or the Kinks, maybe it's because he's an insufferable schmuck who' stated he's happy his deceased bandmates are dead or, maybe its because he has a thing for kids. Oh, and Roger Daltrey's voice is awful. Regardless, there really isn't redeeming in the music on this album, or anywhere for that matter, that stands out, is unique except for maybe Keith Moon's facial expressions while drumming ... hrmmm, or maybe the use of synth repeaters. Buuuut, for the most part this band is Townsend and Daltrey, both of whom I have zero love for.
not for me.
Generic and dull
The highs are roaringly high and get you slapping your leg to the beat. The lows (or mediums?) are ok. Not bad songs but some just clearly lack the energy and you just wait for it to pick back up again.
