The group's magnum opus, a rich, expressive, loud piece of hard rock that summed up the first six years of the band's history. "Won't Get Fooled Again" became a major radio anthem and "Behind Blue Eyes" unexpectedly became a favorite Pete Townshend number as well. Roger Daltrey never sang better, and John Entwistle's bass achieved new heights of prominence, while Keith Moon turned in an explosive performance on drums.

Nach "Tommy" laborierten The Who am ähnlich ehrgeizigen Projekt "Lifehouse". Als die vier damit nicht zu Rande kamen, veröffentlichten sie 1971 Teile davon schlicht als "Who's Next". Mit dem Synthie-Opener "Baba O'Riley" und dem rockigen Kracher "Won't Get Fooled Again" wurde das Album eines der erfolgreichsten der Band. Digital remastert glänzt es nun mit mehr Transparenz und Dynamik. Dazu gibt's eine informative Booklet-Story von Pete Townshend und sechs Bonustracks, teils live und bislang unveröffentlicht.

Das Anfang 1995 mit "Live At Leeds" begonnene Projekt der Wiederveröffentlichung klassischer Who-LPs umfaßt mittlerweile vier Titel. "A Quick One" (Polydor 527 758-2, 1966, 56:27) liegt zwar in Mono, dafür aber um zehn Songs erweitert vor, und "The Who Sell Out" (527 759-2, 1967, 71:49) enthält neun Bonus-Tracks, die mittels weiterer Jingles aus jener Zeit liebevoll in den einer peppigen Radioshow nachempfundenen Charakter des Originalalbums eingebunden sind. Auch "Who's Next" (1971) war von Pete Townshend ursprünglich als Konzeptalbum geplant (Arbeitstitel: "Lifehouse"), konnte als solches jedoch nicht realisiert werden. Mit Songs wie "Baba O'Riley", "Bargain" und "Won't Get Folled Again" ist es aber womöglich die beste aller Who-Platten geworden. Die neu gemasterte CD bringt jetzt endlich auch den europäischen Who-Fan in den Genuß einer Klangqualität, wie es sie bis dato nur auf der US-CD (MCA 37217) gab. Zudem bekommt er sieben Bonustitel, die ursprünglich für das "Lifehouse"-Projekt vorgesehen waren, darunter unveröffentlichte Studioversionen von "Pure And Easy" und "Baby Don't You Do It", ein Alternativ-Take von "Behind Blue Eyes" sowie "Water" live. Die Entstehung dieser Sternstunde britischer Rockmusik schildert Pete Townshend höchstpersönlich ironischen Begleittexte. ** Interpret.: 09-10

A mix of old favorites and buried treasures makes this edition of Who's Next a definite must. One of the defining albums of 70s hard rock from one of the 60s most successful bands, the original album includes some of The Who's best-known work, such as the anthemic "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again", the by turns sorrowful and angry "Behind Blue Eyes", and perennial favorite "My Wife". The new tracks on this album are equally worth hearing, including "Pure and Easy" (an alternate edition of which is available on Odds & Sods) and the original version of "Behind Blue Eyes". A hard rock classic, Who's Next is required listening for rock fans of all ages.
