For this I was tempted to use my post on Zeppelin's "In Through The Out Door" as model and just change some of the details, cause they got so much in common. Celebrated hard rock bands who in the late seventies due to personal problems, injuries, drug use and trying to adapt to changing public tastes, suddely starting to doubt their abilities and in a moment of weakness decided to use synths as a prominent part...and after the recordings both bands lost their original drummers in alcohol related situations. Zeppelin halted for good after that while the Who soldiered on, but they would never be the same again. This still has very good songwriting and a fair share of catchy moments, though the synthetic involvement mellows making some of it sound radio friendly rather than cheeky and dangerous. "Trick Of The Light" does sound old Who all the way and both "New Song" and "I've Had Enough" good in spite of the electronics. My absolute favorite would be "Who Are You". If you only heard the revised parts from the recording as signature to many many CSI episodes, it may come as a surprise how good the original song is. Issued and reissued on every possible format all over the world through the years. First US on MCA (MCA-3050). Japan 2011 CD limited edition paper sleeve on Polydor (UICY-94779) came with five bonus tracks. Premiere UK had label as shown here and thin fully laminated cover. (WÖH*)
