Free Music Notes for Endless WireFree Music Review: The Who - A Big DissapointmentAfter a 25 year hiatus the Who finally came back with a new studio album. The band were now down to two members after the death of bassist John Entwistle in 2002. Having seen this version of the band shortly after Entwistle's death I was still very much enthused that Townshend and Daltry could pull off another great album. "Endless Wire" was one of my most anticipated albums to come out that year, but unfortunately the results were quite a bit less than my expectations. I have given this album dozens of listens hoping that it would grow on me more, but it just never has. I don't think that it is terrible, but it is by far the weakest Who album in my collection. Much of this album is mellow and acoustic in nature which in itself is not a bad thing, but there just seems to be some fire missing in the instrumental work here. Vocally both Daltry and Townshend are not what they used to be, which again could be overlooked if the material was better. The mini-opera "Wire And Glass" is....well it just is not very good when compared to the other operas (both mini and maxi) that Townshend has done over the years. Probably the best song on the disc is Townshend's "A Man In A Purple Dress", but even it would not stand up against the Who's top older material. Being a fan of John Entwistle for me his quirky songwriting that usually contributed a couple of tunes is sorely missed. I have really really tried to like this album and it just refuses to click with me and was a huge disappointment to my ears.
