The Who: Who - CD

After a long 13 years, The Who released their twelfth album in 2019, with the simple and telling title, Who.

“This album is a collection of songs, all but two of which were written last year,” explains Townshend. “There is no theme, no concept, no story, just a set of songs that my brother Simon and I wrote to give Roger Daltrey some inspiration, challenges, and scope for his newly revived singing voice. Roger and I are both old men now, by any measure, so I’ve tried to stay away from romance, but also from nostalgia if I can. I didn’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Memories are OK, and some of the songs refer to the explosive state of things today.”

“I think we’ve made our best album since Quadrophenia in 1973,” adds Daltrey. “Pete hasn’t lost it. He’s still a fabulous songwriter.”
