So they've got sprawl and focus issues. But this underproduced mess of an album also has an abundance of magnificent, quirkily anthemic songwriting.

MojoNo one could have predicted Endless Wire would be quite this good. [Nov 2006, p.98]
-
Endless Wire turns out to be more effective and more coherent than it has any right to be.
-
The album is inconsistent -- sometimes impenetrable, sometimes enlightening -- but always engaged.
-
It's the mini-opera that moves spryly compared to the proper rock album half.

Q MagazineThat it doesn't fall completely flat on its face must be considered some kind of triumph. [Dec 2006, p.126]

BlenderWhat remains is a concept that's been stewing too long and a singer who's one scream away from a hernia. [Dec 2006, p.180]

MattD.Nov 3, 2006Worth buying for "Man in a Purple Dress" alone. The album is workmanlike Who - no new classic album here, but they get by on a retro vibe.
