Title: Missed Opportunity
Review: At the time (1981), the Who could have delivered a good hard rock album, but missed the opportunity to show that they were still a force to be reckoned with in the studio. The songs were from Townshend's last good songwriting period (i.e. - "Empty Glass"), but the arrangements were too light [i.e. - weak]. They seem more appropriate for an early 80's Genesis album rather than a Who album.I remember being glad they were still touring and making music in the early 80s, but looking back now, I wish they had called it quits after Moon died. "Who Are You" and "The Kids Are Alright" would have been respectable final statements for the band. At least better than this album and the one after it.
Is the review positive or negative?
