THE WHO "who's next" cd,vinyl 1971.

this is,without a doubt, the Who at the top of their game IMO, sure Tommy and Quadrophenia are brilliant, but this one is ALL class....
contains their pennultimate track "wont get fooled again" and their greatest quietest moment in "behind blue eyes".
cant criticise this one at all in any way....just pure rock and roll at its finest by probably the most underrated UK band ever, i mean underrated in the way that they were always living in the shadow of The Stones and The Beatles when they made as many great songs...
this deluxe edition contains seven bonus tracks,that are either previously unreleased ones,b-sides previously unavailable on cd,and atlernative version of "behind blue eyes" and a live track, good thing about the bonus ones is that they do fit in with the album and not just simple add-ons to callit a "deluxe version"....great stuff!
this album makes me want to don my fishtailed parka and Lambretta again...."we are the mods,we are the mods,we are, we are, we are the mods!"

Let's just say not up there with his best. I'm trying to be kind here. It does pass, with a medium like score. Two
loves, two do not likes out of the eight tracks. Got mashed potatoes, ain't got no T-Bone. No doubt the worst track
here, that takes it. Nine minutes of that track, T-Bone. A workout session for the band I guess. Which it seems most
of this album is. Not that you got a bad band there with CRAZY HORSE. Lyrically this has to be one of Neils worst,
T-Bone being the prime example. The band is tight though, which probably saves the album. This is Neil's eleventh
album and his third with CRAZY HORSE as the backing band. I'm going to blame this on the fulfillment of his contract
with Warner. Next would be the Geffen label debut with Trans, but we won't go there. Maybe Neil just wantred to be
done with Warner, and hastily threw this together. That sounds good.

going into the listen, I thought I would have come out with a score closer to yours
cool we came out with the same two ***
that Rapid Transit is almost as bad as T-Bone

of course my Neil Young 'beginners guide' was purely a guide to his music, my scores reflected my views,those of 'allmusic' and fans views on his official website forum...
however in this case with this album i still think the 1.5 is about what it deserves(sort of borderline).

Packaged as a double album, actually a re-release of Jeff's first 2 albums, which were released in 68-69. After his
sixth album, Blow By Blow became a #4 hit, I guess Epic decided to capitalize. Both of the albums here charted at
#15 on their original release. I guess they sold a few more by packaging them. The group also includes Rod Stewart,
Ronnie Wood and Nicky Hopkins. Stewart in fine voice at this early atage of his career. A lot of covers here with no
originals till the second album. Interesting take on the Yardbirds Shapes Of Things to start off. Prefer the
original, but not bad. Elvis covers are horrendous, as well as Ol' Man River and Greensleeves. You Shook Me, doesn't
even come close to Zep's. And of course the closer instrumental Rice Pudding takes the worst. Not much on either of
these albums for me. Beck reached legendary status at some point. Yes I know he's an excellent guitarist, but his
albums never did much for me. If it wasn't for Rod Stewarts presence, I could totally pass on this set. Guess I
wasn't in a blues/rock mood today.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

not a fan of Jeff Beck myself and your review does nothing to make me want to change my mind either...
