Title: What Is It? I'll Take It.
Review: Wow! After Tommy and Who's Next, there was almost nowhere but down for the next Who album. But, instead of playing it safe, the band actually tries to outdo Tommy, with another so-called "Rock Opera" and two-record set. And they come sooooo close.Quadrophenia marks the end of an incredible run of Who genius, from Tommy to Who's Next to Quadrophenia. If I had to pick just one to take to that proverbial desert island, I'd sneak all three aboard.Completely different than Who's Next, and nothing like Tommy, Quadrophenia instead breaks new ground with four separate and distinct sides of music reflecting four different personalities. The result, from "The Real Me," to "Had Enough" to "5:15" to "Dr. Jimmy" is just incredible. This album would be any other band's crowning achievement. Instead, it's "just" their third straight 5 star album. And that's only because there aren't 6 stars!
