PeterPDec 6, 2006Compared to other releases from bands that gained popularity in the 60's, the who's new effort is somewhat amazing. Never did I think ide chose a WHO album over a Dylan album but alas the day has come. The sound is original enough to keep you wanting to listen to more while having the same basic recipe the WHO has always used to make amazing music. At the least, worth a few listens.

emilhNov 14, 2006They have got a hit ! Excellent album from the two surviving members of the Who and as right for the times as Tommy was in 1969. The songs are generally very good and thoughtful, not trying to copy or revive the old Who, which does not exist anymore. Excellent.

GrantNov 8, 2006Excellent Who album... The Who prove they can adapt and not just be the same old band with 2 replacements. They can reinvent themselves artistically and provide an all new style, yet still be within reach of their youthful "glory-years" sound. And these guys are fucking 60! Amazing... oh yeah, and Todd W, what a class act you are, have some respect...

LukeMNov 6, 2006This band is one of the greatest. A 6? You must be joking. Or are you?

gmcNov 5, 2006There's crap on it...Townshend needs to be reined in when he's too self-indulgent, but upon repeated listenings about half of it is pretty good stuff.

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.

JamesJNov 2, 2006Really a very good album and proof that Mr Townsend has some song left in him yet. Roger's voice is on top form and the songs are of a high quality. Even after losing two of its founder members the Who live on in style. The bus for the bingo hall isnt here yet and anyone who believes so is clearly not of sound mind. Nice one guys!!!!

EdPNov 1, 2006The guy below is a little too cynical. Relatively speaking, the "Who" is a very good live band. They still can blow doors on most of the crap out there today. So I say rock on. As to the album, it's pretty damn good listening. Of course it is not a master piece, but is is definitely engaging and interesting rock and roll music.

No, it does not rank with the band's best work. But yes, as long as Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey walk the earth in tandem, the Who live on.
-
Endless Wire turns out to be more effective and more coherent than it has any right to be.
-
The nine tracks you must navigate before you get to the mini-opera seem like a trudge.
