Negative Positive
Title: Arguably the best Who CD ever, largely overlooked by many.
Review: Quadrophenia is most likely the Who's best work ever. A double CD which unlike most other double CDs, consistently showcases the Who at their hard rocking best from one track to the next. Musically, Townsend's guitar and Daltrey's vocals are in top form, with most tracks being the stuff of a "greatest hits package". Lyrically, Townsend's songwriting explores the pain, confusion, and feelings of betrayal experienced by a neurotic adolescent trying desperately to fit in with his peer group, ultimately to no avail. Just don't expect the main protagonist of this work to "live happily ever after".
