This seems like it must be one of the weirder Who albums. Apparently they were being pushed and pulled all over by the place by their record company who wanted to market them to the mod audience, yet there are moments of heart-rending James Brown-esque soul and noisy hints of the rock band they had within them. With every other song, no matter how restrained they are trying to be you can still hear the band (Moon in particular) straining to get out of that box.
I've never really hooked into the Who but this album was alright... not mindblowing or amazing, but fun with decent songs and and so much potential.
