While the idea is great, I think it falls flat. The material isn't strong at all. I feel Quadraphenia is much better. This feels like a few decent songs with a BUNCH of filler. I do love John's work on it, being a bassist. I wonder if seeing some kind of production of it would bring another level allowing me to like it more.

It's not what I had hoped for, but I guess it'll appease Who fans. Honestly, I thought it would be too dark. And the songs aren't as good as what I thought would happen.

meh, it's alright. Doesn't hold a candle to Quadrophenia though in my opinion.

This is dreadful. As a single disc it wouldn't have been any good. It might have enough decent material to make up a passable EP.

Groundbreaking at the time, The Who would top this with Quadrophenia 4 years later.
