Who's who

Album Title: 
Endless Wire
Band Name: 
The Who
Release Year: 
2006

The Who's new release is actually rather impressive. They do not sound washed up or tired at all. They do sound old, but the same sort of orchestration, arrangement, passion and energy that made Who's Next and Tommy great can be found, at least most of the time, on this new release. Despite deaths in the band and Pete's legal trouble, the two remaining Who (Daltrey and Townsend) make a great pair on this record. Strangely enough, Ringo's son is their drummer on some of the studio recordings, as well as on their new tour.
