Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released merely weeks before the tragic death of drummer Keith Moon, The Who's eighth studio album balances their trademark arena power with complex synthesizer arrangements. Driven by the fiercely energetic, highly rhythmic title track, 'Who Are You' delivers a remarkably melodic, occasionally progressive, and deeply bittersweet reflection on middle-aged rock stardom.
