Title: TOMMY
Review: Tommy-The Concept Album. This is a good album, but it is ruined by silly filler ("Tommy Can You Hear Me", "There's A Doctor"), simply there to get the story across. I think that it would have been possible to make REAL songs to fill these ideas. However, there are enough fantastic songs on this record to make up for it. Many songs on this could have been singles easily enough, although most of them ("Pinball Wizard", "We're Not Gonna Take It") make sense only in the context of the album. There are no actual songs on this album that are truly bad: if you don't like the melody, read the lyrics, and vise versa. I think that this album (for me at least) places the Who as the 2nd best artists of all time, and Pete Townsend the 2nd best songwriter.
Is the review positive or negative?
