Free Music Review: The Who - The Last From The Original Lineup
Hit: 5 Stars
The Who took several years in between albums before putting out this one in 1978. During this time most of the band members worked on solo projects that were met with different levels of success. "Who Are You" is best remembered for it's title track that featured one of Daltry's most gritty vocal performances shouting out Pete Townshend's diatribe to punk rock. The track remains a classic rock radio staple to this day and I still crank it up when it comes on the radio. The album would be the last done by the original lineup due to the death of Keith Moon shortly after the album's release. This disc gets mixed reactions from Who fans, but I have always really liked it. "New Song", "Sister Disco", "Guitar And Pen" and "The Music Must Change" are all good Townshend songs. Playing the role of unsung hero on this album is John Entwistle who contributes three songs "Had Enough", "905" and "Trick Of The Light" which all are good. Going back through these old Who albums remind me that I need to check out some of Entwistle's solo stuff. The guy really was an underrated songwriter overshadowed by the genius of Townshend. I don't think "Who Are You" is in the same league as "Who's Next" or "Quadrophenia", but I do think it is a very good Who album and should be an essential part of any fans collection.
Who Are You Poster
\NPosited between punk (Pete Townshend's instinctive ethos) and progressive (much of the music), Who Are You is ultimately a failed attempt to conciliate two camps that thrived on their opposition to one another. Neither the insurgent punks of Johnny Rotton's generation nor Townshend's comfortably numb peer group had the least need for one another. Townshend, on the other hand, seemed to want one thing from both forces: their contempt. It was something he could share with them. All of which led to one exceptional song (the title cut) and a handful of lesser statements (the modified minuet "Guitar and Pen," "Music Must Change," "New Song"). John Entwistle fills three song slots with the tactless "Had Enough," the slight but likable "905," and "Trick of the Light," an above-par classic-rock showcase for Roger Daltry. A generous five bonus tracks round out the reissue. --Steven Stolder
