Album Notes & Community Reviews
Their first album without Keith Moon, The Who recruited Kenney Jones and leaned heavily into polished, deeply melodic pop-rock. Featuring the massive hit 'You Better You Bet', 'Face Dances' is an incredibly energetic, slightly subdued effort that seamlessly integrates 1980s new wave influences while struggling to maintain their classic hard rock ferocity.
