Conceptualism may fool you 😠 , but remember that the Who's Next (Lifehouse) was initially designed for themed ensemble.

It is the probably the best album about, amongst other things, a pedophile. This makes it creepy, creepier still given Operation Ore...

If it's as bad as the movie, I'll stay away from it.

a god damned mess. It has some startlingly beautiful moments shining out (not even whole songs) throughout and the bizarre concept has always been fascinating. Still, it misses the mark by quite a large margin.

As much as I love the Who, I just consider this a flop 😐 It's a chore to listen to, without any sort of redeemability.

Ah well. Nice story I guess, even though they didn't make it 🤣 And Pinball Wizard is always a nice spin.

50/100
