Free Music Notes for Endless Wire
Free Music Review: Some Good... Some Not So Good
Hit: 2 Stars
First off, let me say that I really love the way this album is laid out. The "mini-opera" was a brilliant concept... no doubts there.
Secondly, I wish this album were better! The music is pretty simplistic (for you musicians.. there is simply too much I-IV-V) and the lyrics are only slightly better (although they often resort to really "redneck" lingo and unpolished words like "crap".) I really can't recommend this album.
That being said, "Trilby's Piano" is achingly beautiful, and "Fragments" is close to brilliant (the synth recalls the earlier days of "Yes".)
Sadly, the bulk of this album only warrants a 2 out of 5.

And 4 classic hits: Won't Get Fooled Again Baba O Reily Behind Blue Eyes Who Are You
Nearly a quarter-century (and bassist John Entwistle) passed between what had been considered the Who's career-capping album, It's Hard, and this 19-song epic, which at its best has the band of two pining for the days of Who's Next. Built from the triumph of the mini-opera Wire & Glass EP (included here in its entirety), Endless Wire mixes metaphors of music, war, and religion, while showcasing Roger Daltrey's ageless vocal cords and Pete Townshend at his windmilling best. Launching with a "Baba O'Riley"-like synth break in "Fragments," Daltrey asks "Are we breathing out or breathing in?" and Townshend answers with a thrashing, crashing Gibson. When the volume is turned up, there are echoes of three decades ago. "It's Not Enough" and "Mike Post Theme" conjure images of Entwistle and Keith Moon--the latter song, with its quiet verse and thunderous chorus, recalls "Going Mobile" and longs for Moon to whack it into shape. But the linchpin remains Townshend's songwriting, whether he's questioning faith ("Man in a Purple Dress"), showing gratitude for support ("You Stand By Me"), or dreaming of entertaining immortals into eternity ("Out on an Endless Wire"). By the time it wraps up, Endless Wire tells two things. 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. --Scott Holter
