As much as I love the Who, I just consider this a flop Neutral 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 Laughing And Pinball Wizard is always a nice spin.

A highly enjoyable almost-masterpiece that doesn't quite manage to pull it off. In my experience it has mystical healing properties. Am I joking? You'll never know.

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.

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