...Joel Selvin panned the new Who album today - gave it a 'C'."Half the album is devoted to another Townshend rock opera so complicated and dense that it makes the one about the deaf, dumb and blind pinball player read like a comic book."
"He recycles a lot of his old tricks...and they sound watered down, secondhand."
"Daltry...has lost a good deal of his voice..."
"Townshend sounds pretty ragged himself."
"But the real disappointment is Townshend's writing..."
"Endless Wire" is filled with vague, disjointed, flimsy pieces that don't stand up to the band's back catalogue."
Guess we'll find out Tuesday...
