While both THE WHO SELL OUT and TOMMY have their passionate devotees, WHO`S NEXT is the Who`s masterpiece. Originally, Pete Townshend intended these songs for an even larger-scale project than TOMMY, a massive multimedia extravaganza, called LIFEHOUSE, that the songwriter eventually abandoned. Townshend was initially keen to keep at least the basic structure of the story for the Who`s next record, but associate producer Glyn Johns convinced him that a straightforward single disc of the project`s best songs would make a stronger album. Wise counsel indeed, because WHO`S NEXT is by far the group`s most focused and powerful effort.
Bracketed by "Baba O`Riley" and "Won`t Get Fooled Again," two classic rock epics that did more to advance the cause of synthesizers in mainstream rock than Kraftwerk`s entire career, this album is basically flawless, ranging in mood from the heartbreaking "The Song Is Over" to John Entwistle`s bitterly funny "My Wife." Although nearly every song on the record, barring only the bluesy acoustic interlude "Love Ain`t for Keeping," is a saturation-level FM-rock-radio mainstay, WHO`S NEXT is that rarity--an intimately familiar album that never gets tiresome.
