About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

On the Who's final album with Keith Moon, their trademark honest power started to get diluted by fatigue and a sense that the group's collective vision was beginning to fade. As instrumentalists, their skills were intact. More problematic was the erratic quality of the material, which seemed torn between blustery attempts at contemporary relevance ("Sister Disco," "New Song," "Music Must Change") and bittersweet insecurity ("Love Is Coming Down"). Most problematic of all were the arrangements, heavy on the symphonic synthesizers and strings, which make the record sound cluttered and overanxious. Roger Daltrey's operatic tough-guy braggadocio in particular was beginning to sound annoying on several cuts. Yet Pete Townshend's better tunes -- "Music Must Change," "Love Is Coming Down," and the anthemic title track -- continued to explore the contradictions of aging rockers in interesting, effective ways. Whether due to Moon's death or not, it was the last reasonably interesting Who record. The 1996 CD reissue adds five previously unreleased alternate takes and demos.

Keith's lastby JohnQ

July 23, 2009: The album is all over the place but it does have the great title track and it is the last album Moon made with the group so for those reasons it is an essential Who album. Not everything here is great, but enough of the songs are good enough to make this one worth owning.

Good but Townshend's Heart was out of itby Anonymous

June 03, 2006: It has great tracks such as "sister disco" and "who are you" and "new song" and the "music must change". However, those songs were meant for the aborted lifehouse projects which would be compiled later in Pete Townshend's Lifehouse Chronicles which you can buy on his website. Lifehouse was the supposed follow-up to Tommy and has 8 of the 9 songs from Who's next. Of course the songs listed above are the better tracks but during this time Pete kept drinking and gradually leaving the Who so to speak. He just didn't care anymore. If you read the liner notes you'll see why "who are you" is named that way.
