Another good album by the Who, it still sounds very restrained considering what they were capable of in a live setting. Great range of sounds though, and with a mix of faux commercials included in between tracks.
The commercial aspect was something of a self-aware joke as the band had been doing a few commercials by that stage, as well as maybe being a knowing nod at the fact that their music was a product that they had to sell in one way or another.
They ended up getting sued by a number of the real products mentioned though, so maybe it was a little subversive or 'punk' after all.
