Who's Next is a balanced album. The music is rock. The band sounds really confident. They play and sing with strong intent. Nothing is witheld. Everything is in balance to. Drums, guitar, keyboards, bass and vocals all can be heard clearly.
I don't always focus on lyrics because half the time I can't figure out what is being said and then when I can understand I have no idea what it means. This album is different. Everything is clear as day and quite sensible. The lyrics appeal perfectly to the Who's audience: young working class men. And they neither condescend to them nor make light of their troubles.
I think this is one of the few rock albums that gets the music, the lyrics and the energy right. It's a fun and witty and makes you want to tap your foot or pump your fist in the air. I don't think this is a groundbreaking album, but finally someone got the formula right. This is the best rock album up to now and I'll go out on a limb to say no rock album will top it.
Every song on this album is fantastic.
