Review:
An excellent and frequently astonishing album, Quadrophenia
is both more ambitious and less accessible than Tommy,
the first and most well known rock opera. At its simplest
level, Quadrophenia is a coming-of-age story
with an awesome soundtrack. The album features some of
the Who's finest material, in songs like the enraged
"Real Me", the cynical "Punk Meets the
Godfather", the wistful "5:15" and "Sea
and Sand", and the powerful "Love, Reign O'er
Me". The songwriting (courtesy of Pete Townshend) is
top-notch, as is the production (the Who actually managed
to use synthesizers in an original manner, something few
rock bands can aspire to). The mix of powerful
songwriting and skilful composition makes this one of the
Who's finest moments. --Genevieve
