First released in 1971, Who's Next towered超越 - musically,
technologically and conceptually - over its close rivals that year,
Led Zeppelin IV and the Stones' Sticky Fingers. It emerged from the
wreckage of Lifehouse, Pete Townshend's ambitious proposal for a movie
and concept album, begun hot on the high-stacked heels of his hugely
successful rock opera Tommy. In precis, Lifehouse was to be a journey
through the scarred wasteland不毛之地 of a futuristic middle England, where a
computerised 'Big Brother' grid imposes virtual reality on the
populace民众 and the subversions瓦解 of rock music offer the only salvation
拯救。（这句我看不懂）
Heady stuff.

And now, over 30 years on, Whos Next still rattles the speaker cabinets.
The production (by the band with assistance from Glyn Johns) would
hardly shame a four-piece rock band today. It really was sonically声波 far
ahead of its time. Through "Bargain", ''The Song is Over'' and
''Behind Blue Eyes'' Roger Daltrey sings with passion and power. His
blood-curdling凝结的 scream at the end of the epiphanic ''Won't Get Fooled
Again'' is one of the defining moments in rock 'n' roll. Bass player
John Entwistle plonks exquisitely throughout, especially on ''Getting in
Tune''. Keith Moon keeps the beat like an octopus章鱼 on uppers兴奋剂.

But this is very much Townshend's album. On the opening track, ''Baba
O'Riley'', the cyclic周期的, synthesised合成的 introduction becomes the
springboard出发点 for one of his trademark riffs反复乐节. In fact the album was
the
first within blues-based rock to properly employ the synthesiser合成器？. On
tracks such as ''Going Mobile'' Townshend puts it to work as an
instrument in its own right, rather than a device for novelty bleeps尖锐声音.

The original album now benefits from bonus tracks like the melodic "Pure
And Easy". Sadly, the three contemporaneous同时期的 singles mentioned above,
very much a part of the albums history, are not included, but instead we
have a fascinating, previously unreleased, 73-minute CD of the Young
Vic concert, when much of this material was first aired. The expanded
Who's Next keeps its place as one of the essential, most exciting rock
albums of the last forty years: now bigger and better than ever. Meet
the new boss...
