New Who Review...Comin' right at You!

Just got done listening to the new Who CD, Endless Wire, and I'm quite frankly underwhelmed.  As a MAJOR aficionado of The Who (tied with Elton John for my #2 Rock act of all-time, right behind Kiss), there was a time when I would have bought a brand new Who album the day it came out, but I've had trouble getting excited about this one, particularly since John Entwistle is no longer with us, thus I waited almost two months after its release to buy it.  The Ox's bass playing—not to mention his witty songs—always gave Who albums that extra-added kick, and they are sorely missing now, because Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey sound almost like a lounge act here.  Neither I, nor Horton, heard  The Who on this CD, and this one makes Face Dances seem like Who's Next in comparison!  What pisses me off most is how Townshend has been dangling this carrot in front of Who fans for almost 20 years now about a new studio album from the band, and never followed through on it until after Entwistle was gone.  They shoulda called it Who's Left instead...
