hey bro, nice video, please take a look of the song called " tartaleta de frutillas - los blops" its a nice piece of progressive rock and jazz fussion, then u can try listen locomotora, same band, sorry for my bad english, grettings :D.
Amazing album I'm really biased to. It was th first Who album I've bought and it impressed me so much. To avoid repeating other comments, I'd add two observations: the groundbreaking work from producer Glynn Johns, which had already worked in the first LedZep albums and changed dramatically the way the band sounded in studio, much more to do with their live sound than happened on previous releases. Last observation: the obvious suggestion is a Quadrophenia reaction, their undisputed masterpiece. But I'd suggest that you, before, reacted to the Sell Out album, from 1967, an usually overlooked great album, that anticipate much of Tommy, The Lifehouse Chronicles and Quadrophenia, specially in terms of conception. It has a superb psychedelic sound and great production values, in addtion to a powerful songwriting from Pete Townshend. It deserves more recognition than it usually receives.
For my money, the best song on the album is "The Song Is Over," with "Getting in Tune" coming a close second - but I can't fault anyone for putting another on top. The entire album is just back-to-back bangers. Next you GOTTA hit Quadrophenia. It's another rock opera, and you can see the lessons learned from Tommy (and the failed Lifehouse project that became Who's Next) bear fruit - easily their best work.
All time classic album. Always in the top ten on Best Albums Of All Time lists. The little acapella part in "Baba O'Riley" was sung by Pete. I used to sing lines from "Bargain" to my wife all the time. It expressed so well my thoughts and feelings of and for her. This is the first time I've heard the song since she passed away five years ago. Man, I was crying through the entire song. We were both atheists, so the thought that "Bargain" was sung to God never even crossed our minds. "The Song Is Over" could very easily be about my first girlfriend and me. We were each others first. After five months, she broke up with me. I was emotionally devastated. I was in tenth grade and thought she (Penny) was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. For fifty years I've been "In love" with her, even through my forty years with my wonderful wife. Back in April I looked her up online and sent an email. Since then we have been writing to each other every single day. There's been talk of getting together sometime, but neither of us is in any hurry. But, who knows...? Whenever someone does a reaction to any of the songs on this album, I'm always surprised they never mention the humor of the album cover. Do they even pay attention to it? It was fun listening to this album with someone who's never heard it before. That doesn't happen very often for me anymore. So thank you. PS - I'm drinking sweet tea. No surprise there.
An excellent choice and maybe the only CD I've bought 3 times because they kept expanding it. It's a classic, iconic album. The songs are even better in concert.
Surprising amount of comments saying they don't like this album. Nothing bad about it, as no one has to like same things as me, but it's just surprising.
What an album, my favourite by The Who. Now that you have listened to it, you really should check out the video of them doing "Won't get fooled again" live at Shepparton studios - its one of THE classic live performances on YT.
Greatest rock album of all time, the Stones hit all around it with Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile. But this is the best ever, not a turd in the punch bowl. 10 out of 10!
Indeed. And what makes it even more impressive is how the Lifehouse project was completely shattered, so the lyrics make little thematic sense. And despite this, all the songs are fantastic and flow together brilliantly. And having heard the Lifehouse box set, I think the rather heavy concept may have weighed the music down a bit to the point that it didn't work in its favour. Perhaps it was better to just let the songs stand on their own?
One of the greatest albums of all time. An absolute masterpiece. What's even more amazing is this isn't even their best work...Quadrophenia is and you should absolutely check that out!
In my freshman year in high school I listened to this album every day on the bus. Kind of ruined it for myself, lol. Coming back to it, I think it's been long enough that it hits for me again. The outro on "Bargain" might be my favorite thirty seconds of music they ever made. Keith just kicks in and goes nuts while Pete comes through clear and clean over the top. Beautiful.
The Who have maybe half a dozen songs that should be in any great history of rock music and two of them are on this album (Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again) Certainly do play Terry Riley's 'A Rainbow in Curved Air' or 'In C' which are essentially modern classical but very appealing to rock fans. Not eating or drinking anything at present but I'm thinking coffee in the next fifteen minutes.
I am surprised that Justin hadn't covered Behind Blue Eyes before. Great album, brings back teen memories of sitting in the dark listening to Radio Now Flower.
"Pure And Easy" is the song that uses the line at the end of "The Song Is Over", and the whole thing is on Pete Townshend's Who Came First (1972) album. An excellent solo work - Pete plays most of all the instruments and sings on more excellent songs about the meditations of Mehar Baba, Pete's guru.
One of the classic rock albums. I didn't watch the long version on patreon because I remember all the songs so well. In answer to the halfway question, I did eat a slice of Madeira cake at one point 😄
My mom's next door neighbour was shopping this morning, and saw some muffins. She thought to herself, "These muffins need people", so she bought them, and then came round to give them to some people. They have nice neighbours. So now you can guess the answer to your question. ;-)
Now that's living history - one for the ages. Sounds as fresh as the day it was released. Few albums out there as perfect as this one. Nothing dated about this masterpiece, as much a thing of it's time as it is. Jeez, the guitars and synths, the drums and bass, the raw soaring vocals, the depth, wit, and rousing fun, the pure rock and roll spirit. As with the cover, it's a monument. I can't help but wonder what Lighthouse would have been like - would it have surpassed Tommy and Quadrophenia as their pinnacle rock opera? Or did it do best here framed as an album of songs? We'll never know, but I'm just glad we've got this to go down in the annals...
I haven’t listened to this album all the way through like that in years. One thing Geddy Lee and I have in common is we both consider John to be the best bassist ever. Going Mobile has always been my favorite track. I just picture taking a road trip on a two lane highway with the car top down and the wind blowing through my hair. I remember once playing that song so many times in a row that my one brother (RIP) who was my mentor when it came to music, books and movies yelled at me “ENOUGH!” 😂 You need to check out the video concert Pete Townshend’s Deep End Live where he does a few tracks off this. Great concert featuring David Gilmour and the great Simon Phillips on drums. Thanks Justin! And yes, they used Won’t Get Fooled Again as the theme for CSI. One of the greatest screams in rock history. Hopefully you’ll do what I consider to be their best album next; Quadrophenia.
Justin, I've been listening to your channel since the beginning and I think, it is the best one. Now, I would like to recommend to you David&David " Welcome to the boomtown". In my opinion one of the most underrated albums ever. Try it out, you won't reget it.
A peanut butter cup Chobani flip yoghurt, since JP asked. And I don't get the surprisingly loud (if still minority) chorus of dislike. I mostly love this album. Not in the way I love the earlier stuff (Tattoo, Dogs, Pictures of Lily, I'm A Boy, Mary-Anne with the Shaky Hands, Boris the Spider, the whole of Sell-out and Quick One) which when I listen to I'm that kid again. But b/c I think this is when the band finally grew up and nailed it. Tommy's the overrated one for me. (Quadrophenia I like.)
Terry Riley was a friend of Daevid Allen. They lived in the same apartment building in Paris for a while in the early 60s. Gong took some influence from him as well.
Turkey / Havarti on toasted sourdough. Great album. Great reaction. THE WHO never fail to amaze. Four incredible talents in one band. If you get the chance, you really should hit GUIDED BY VOICES (Best Indie band of all-time.. and VERY Who-Like.) and THE CHILLS (influential New Zealand band that were so influential. GBV: “Lizard On The Red Brick Wall” and/or “Space Gun” and/or “The Best Of Jill Hives… THE CHILLS: “Pyramid / When The Poor Can Reach The Moon” and/or “Night Of The Chill Blue” and/or “The Great Escape"
Pete in an interview told a story of the Who performing in Germany and “Behind Blue Eyes” was met with reverence, and the crowd knew every word. And I seem to remember Pete getting that it was about the crowd’s collective ’sins of the fathers’ (Nazi’s) generational guilt. I don’t know,🤷♂️ it’s a bit close to ‘poor entitled me’ - it’s important to remember who the main victims of the holocaust were.
As a self-described Who fan, mine is almost surely a minority opinion. I flat-out don't like Pete Townshend's storytelling abilities. "Tommy", for me, is a silly, almost idiotic, waste of time about nothing of consequence. "Quadrophenia" is much better than Tommy but still tells a story I can't care much about. Fortunately Pete's Lifehouse concept never came together and we were left with what I consider the Who's best album, hands down.
Who's Next is a good album, but it's not one I listen to very often, because I find it too linear, with tracks built on the same mould. I've always felt that it lacked something, perhaps a bit more energy, but also the many other tracks originally planned for the Lifehouse project, which might have given the whole thing a bit more variety, making it a double album and even more exhausting to listen to in the end.... (a double-edged sword!). For me their double album Quadrophenia is The Who's definitive masterpiece!😉
I never thought the Who's albums were that great but overrated like Tommy and Quad though this album does have some great songs. They were a much better live band than recording band (e.g. Live at Leeds) IMHO.
It's okay... Some nice lines, melodies, but otherwise... T.W were a band I never really got into. Heard tons cos a mate was a huge fan, but they did little for me. Think I was too fixated on the guitar at the time, and PT's hardly a great shredder. In fact I can't think of a single memorable solo by him. Case in point, best part of this disc is the violin on the opener.
@@jamesadkisson7510 Indeed, there's a lot of truth in that. However, particularly in the 'rock' genre, fantastic, virtuosic solos, are rather a prerequisite. And when absent the void is palpable. Rather like going to your favourite BBQ joint, only to find this's the night they're experimenting with their 'new & exciting vegetarian menu', If you get my drift 😀
@@jfergs.3302 Thats a prerequisite for you . Also defining “ fantastic “ . I like some fast tons of note playing but that’s just one dimension. Being creative, Having taste, melody, tone. There’s alot to like and appreciate. A lot of stereotypical virtuosity is pretty boring to me.
@@jamesadkisson7510 Surely a great solo has all the atributes you describe (and many others) re the rest of music, but as to it's importance, we'll have to beg to differ. The ear wants what the ear want eh.
I was dreading this. Oh, well. 😢 I bought this album when I joined the Columbia Record House for $0.01. (That was a thing in the very early 70's). That's what it was worth.
@dannylgriffin just curious, what do you like? I,too spent some time buying unknowns from Columbia record house. Gems and dogs for sure. Just like this reaction. As Samantha Fish would say 'All ice,no whiskey '
@@tomratcliff3755 the first album I ever bought in Jr. High was In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. That tells you how old I am. Haha! I quickly discovered Jethro Tull, ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Tangerine Dream, PFM, Strawbs, Nektar, Caravan, Camel, Zappa, etc., all who were just coming on the scene a few years later. Throw Hawkwind and Captain Beyond in there. Beginning 1974 I started getting into classical and Jazz-Fusion. Later older jazz, especially pianists like Bill Evans and Dave Brubeck, and blues. After that, Celtic. So those are what I typically listen to: prog, classical, fusion, jazz... My favorite group is ELP and my favorite musician is Jean-Luc Ponty. However, I do like one Who album: Quadrophenia. I think that's brilliant. But that's the only Who album I like. I discovered Osibisa through Columbia House Records!

I prefer The Baba O Reilly at that show more than the album cut. Thunder!

Hey Justin! One word...masterpiece!👍😎
The Who is the only band that I know of that has a Lead Singer, a Lead Guitarist, a Lead Bassist and a Lead Drummer.
Tell me if I'm wrong.😅
They had four lead singers. Other than that, you're right.
In my freshman year in high school I listened to this album every day on the bus. Kind of ruined it for myself, lol. Coming back to it, I think it's been long enough that it hits for me again.

*Bargain Lyrics* "Drown an unsung man..." means that they won't sing songs about him... he is willing to die in obscurity.
Great album. Great review.
Charlesworth is a village in northern England. The suffix -worth means 'enclosed settlement'.
What a great album thanks for reacting to it. I always watch your whole reactions. Keep up the good work.

Personal favorites have always been the first 2 tracks on side 1 and the last 2 tracks on the second side. Nice review!
Great listen and analysis of one of my favorite albums.
First Who album I ever heard and It's still my favourite.
Great album. Tommy is still my personal favourite though. Yes the Limp wallys did an abysmal cover of Blue Eyes.
This is arguably the greatest British rock album of all time. And if not, it's the second greatest, which is still pretty good.
Charlesworth - Having proven their worth to King Charles I or II through Royal service. Or something like that.
I've got several of Terry Riley's albums. They are VERY unusual, nothing else like them.
A near perfect album. This is the classic in Classic Rock (which is the rock album era). My regret is that Pure and Easy was left off...

0:51 That’s Me! So glad you did this one!
Townshend used a computer for Baba O'Reilly. Preprogramed. Same for Won't Get Fooled Again
shocked by the negative comments. top 3 album by a top 10 band
Your Patreon has it locked. Not free.
Different CSI series did use different Who songs as their theme song.
Got the Deluxe Edition. The live disc is wonderful. I'm a little burnt on the studio album. Glad I own it though
Eating potato chips and drinking lemon-lime Gatorade.
Petra Haden (daughter of bass jazz giant Dave Holland) does,an a cappella,cover,of,this entire record. Sounds dumb but worth it
A true "no filler" album.
John was quiet but funny as hell!
IMO, the greatest rock album ever. And I'm not even that much of a Who fan.
