Dec 7, 2019Pros: It still has the classic Who sound. It is technically proficient and it is easy to listen to.
Cons: The main failing of this album is the songwriting. The lyrics are preachy and cliched to the point where it makes me want to turn it off. The rhymes are just annoyingly poor. -

Dec 6, 2019Simply astonishing, never expected this, so diverse, reflective yet so fresh. Rock on guys.

Dec 12, 2019Could have been way better. I dont know them much and haven't listened to their previous work but this could be way way better

Dec 10, 2019Horrific songwriting. I think we should send all Guantanamo prisoners to live in the Who's neighborhood and see how that works.

Dec 6, 2019Pretty remarkable album for a band that's been around for more than half a century
-

Dec 7, 2019Great. Better than I could have hoped for. A welcome return. It's most definitely The Who.

Dec 9, 2019Dayum, this thing - first of all - sounds great: great guitar sounds and excellent playing by PT and Roger's aged croak is a wonderful sound. The songs are really good, too - hard to weigh this record without the band's entire history somewhere in the mix, but it's a vibrant record, full of invention - and a very, very pleasant surprise.

Dec 19, 2019I was expecting much, much worse, but this is surprisingly good. There are a few poor songs, the album doesn't reach the same exalted heights of their most celebrated work, and Entwistle and Moon will always be missed, but it's a well crafted album, and Daltrey and Townshend perform with vigor. A commendable effort.

Apr 20, 2020Who knew the titular band had another strong album ahead of them, but their newest work rings well and sounds true.

Dec 14, 2019Great album! Not a dull song in the bunch. “Break the News” is one of the standouts.

Dec 6, 2019This album could easily be meant to stand as the band’s collective last word, even while Townshend and Daltrey sound like they’re ready to bang out 10 more closing statements where this one came from.
-
Dec 6, 2019It's the best album the Who have released since Who Are You in 1978.

Dec 5, 2019Who feels like a Who album: The two still bring out the best in each other.
