Free Music Review: No substitute for this generation
Hit: 5 Stars

This is the second Who album I've ever had, ironically, since I've known they're music for such along time. Surprisingly, there are some songs on it, even other than the new ones, that I hadn't heard until this album got in my hands ("See Me, Feel Me" and "5:15"). You could say it was destiny that it was left in an unopened case on top of a mailbox. It's one of the greatest albums ever, not just among compilations. My song-by-song review follows:

1. I Can't Explain - ****1/2 - PERFECT introduction to kick off this amazing CD. Very 'Who-ish' backing vocals.

2. My Generation - ***** - Definitely the first Who song ever to pass my ears. The song that s-s-s-started it all.

3. The Kids Are Alright - ***** - A very strange song, lyrics- wise, but Roger has pulled the Who through to create another instant classic that led to a movie staring the band itself.

4. Substitute - ***** - I've known this song forever. Right off, an acoustic guitar lures you into the rest of the song.

5. I'm A Boy - *** - Extremely strange song, has never been one of my favorites.

6. Happy Jack - *1/2 - More than qualifies for the 'corniest song ever' award, although the chorus is slightly better than the rest.

7. I Can See For Miles - **** - I heard this song about a year ago for the first time. I love the intro, but gets a little bit 'Who-cliched' near the middle of the second verse.

8. Magic Bus - ***** - ALWAYS loved this song. That's probably because I've always loved hippy music. You know, the acoustic guitar, vocals, everything.

9. Pinball Wizard - ***** - Timeless classic tale of Tommy, that deaf, dumb, and blind kid. Shows the Pete Townsend "sure plays a mean guitar".

10. See Me, Feel Me - ***1/2 - This song is complete crap until about a minute into it, where it picks up and starts rocking.

11. Summertime Blues (Live) - **** - I definitely remember this song. It's pretty cool, but I would prefer Cochran's version over theirs any day.

12. Behind Blue Eyes - ****1/2 - Every great band MUST have an airwave sailing acoustic, thought-provocing ballad. This is definitely one of the Who's best in that catagory.

13. Won't Get Fooled Again - ***** - Intimidating right off, this instant Who-hit should be added to any unspecified 'hard rock's greatest hits' album.

14. 5:15 - **** - I don't really have a strong opinion about this one, though I really like when the song picks up.

15. Love, Reign O'er Me - Imidiately makes me think of rain, even if I'm not listening to the lyrics.

16. Squeeze Box - ****1/3 - Oh, yes, I've known this song for a very long time. I love the acoustic guitar\vocal combination.

17. Who Are You - ***** - One (or two) word(s) come(s) to mind when I hear this song: Newwave. It began a new style of music, and open the floodgates for bands like Twisted Sister.

18. You Better You Bet - **** - I never knew this song too well. I've only really ever known the intro. I'v enever payed too much attention to the rest. Short attention span, I guess.

19. Real Good Looking Boy - ***** - I'm REALLY glad that this, as well as track 20, is on this CD. The intro piano riff is an obvious rip-off, but fits perfectly. The vocals are mostly the reason to listen to the song.

20. Old Red Wine - **** - Pretty strange song that sounds a lot like Led Zeppelin, despite the piano. Nothing particularly particular that I like about this song until, once again, the music picks up and sounds like the Stones. Sadly, it makes a bad ending to a great album. You know, how some songs just don't end an album well.

Wait a second......wait, what? NO "BABA O'RILEY"??????!!!!! THAT'S INSANE! My favorite Who song isn't on their greatest hits album, yet it was a reasonable hit? Absolutely rediculous. And what's this, no "We're Not Gonna Take It" or "My Wife"? This is just stupid. There were some songs that hit the charts, but weren't really successful that wouldn't really fit on a greatest hits album (maybe an "Anthology", but not this), but "Baba O'Riley" and "We're Not Gonna Take It" were not any of them. Despite a ridiculous mistake, the album is worth buying. Listen to me. The kids are STILL alright.

Then & Now 1964-2004 (Dig) Poster

Japanese-only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) pressing of this classic rock album. SHM-CDs can be played on any audio player and delivers unbelievably high-quality sound. You won't believe it's the same CD! Universal. 2008.
Old rock bands never die--or even fade away, for that matter. The unlikely, 21st-century resurgence of the Who may have begun as a typical baby-boomer cash-in tour, but it also spurred the band's first new recordings in 20 years. When the tragic death of John Entwistle overshadowed both projects, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey stubbornly retrenched, forming what Townshend wryly called the Who's new "Everly Brothers format"; anyone aware of the historical tensions between Phil and Don couldn't miss the parallels with Roger and Pete's own long, turbulent relationship. Running the gamut from energetic early hits like "Happy Jack," "Magic Bus," and the now intensely ironic anthem "My Generation" to the briefest of highlights from their most fertile creative period (Tommy/Who's Next/Quadrophenia), this lavishly packaged and annotated greatest-hits set would seem entirely superfluous if not for the two new recordings that close it. Recorded at the end of 2003 with roots in a Townshend multimedia project called The Boy Who Heard Music, "Real Good Looking Boy" (featuring the bass work of Greg Lake, Zak Starkey on drums, and old cohort Rabbit Bundrick on keys) is a dramatic, stripped-down tribute to Elvis Presley whose energetic immediacy stands in stark contrast to the band's last, overly precious '80s recordings. Written on the Who's tragic 2002 tour and recorded in early '04, Townshend's "Old Red Wine" mines a similar musical vein and stands as the surviving Who duo's bittersweet tribute to fallen friend and bandmate Entwistle. --Jerry McCulley
