A masterpiece, and possibly the best single recording in rock history. The Who created a synthesized masterpiece in the wake of the doomed Lifehouse project. The compositions are all strong, and can stand alone or as a set.Perfectly engineered. Four career highs for the musicians. A collective masterpiece. Also notable for being the FIRST album to include syntesizers (and not only s color, but as a beat driver). The first band to invert the formula -- let the drums lead and bass hold the lead together, while the guitar adds fourish and synths keep time. Matching this would be suprising.
