Negative Positive
Title: not quite a total loss
Review: Despite having been a huge Who and Townshend fan for more than twenty years, I have never been able to listen to my LP copy of this album all the way through in one sitting. I finally bought a copy on CD for completion sake and gave it a whole listen. While it is better than I remembered, it is still a pretty mediocre affair. I agree with the reviewer who said that the Scoop version of Don't Le go the Coat led to a new appreciation of this song. However, I prefer the Scoop version of that and You Better You Bet. Another Tricky Day is pretty good and Daily Records is an OK example of the kind of songwriting Pete was doing at this point (compare to Guitar and Pen on Who are You). I will be happy to never hear Cache Cache or How Can You Do It Alone again, however.Finally, a correction to the review by Glenn Wall: John Entwistle, not Pete, wrote Success Story from Who By Numbers. Still a great song.
Is the review positive or negative?
