Just bought the new The Who album!

[Gringo]

I bought the new The Who album yesterday, and wow what i comeback-album! 24 years since the last one(that one sucked...), and it was worth the wait! Very good album with 19 new songs(10 of them a mini opera).
It reminds me of my favourite The Who album "Who's Next". The same style of high quality Pete Townshend-songs.

You guys should check it out!

I wouldnt even dare compare it to whos next.It is a great album nontheless and it is much better live as the who are and always were a live act.Im grateful to have a new album and i definitely think they did a great job.I think its more of a mix of quad/scoop and who by numbers.

The two tracks that were posted here a little while ago were fucking boring...
I guess that there's "something to eat" on that album at least.

Jack68, you're right about Who's Next. I didn't mean to compare the new one to that album, just that the music is in the same genre and the quality is surprisingly good, since the 2 songs released on their latest Best of-album sucked... Pete Townshend is still a pretty good songwriter.
Who's Next is of course one of the best albums in the history of rockmusic. Period!

I listened to it last night at the gym on my ipod....I am very well pleased with the album. There was only one really weak song in my opinion.

I think this is the best album they have put out since "by numbers".

Very strong effort.

I also heard that they are going to add many more US dates in the spring but I am not counting on a Nashville date.

Endless Wire is imho their best studio work since Quadrophenia..
Of course, Daltrey's voice is not that strong anymore, but fuck, the motherfucker can sing.

I went to see them in Lyon on July 17th, and men... wow.
Pete & Rog still kick ass big time. Period.

You lucky bastard! The Who hasn't played in Norway since '88-'89(to early for me).
I hope they visit us next year. I've always wanted to see The Who live.

Why? Bands change their lineups all the time. Van Halen, Kiss, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and many others...
Pete Townshend write the songs now just like in the old days anyway, and with Roger Daltrey singing them together with him just like before.
Zak Starkey is a very good drummer. Maybe not as "wild" as Keith Moon but fits well in the band. Pino Palladino on bass is one of the best bassplayers out there, and does a very good job in the band.
I think, that as long as both Townshend and Daltrey is keeping the legacy alive and writing new songs, they should do it.
