Free Music Review: The Who - A Big Dissapointment
Hit: 2 Stars
After 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.
Endless Wire Poster
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 More Who
