Reviews Customer Reviews for Quadrophenia Songs From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack      Nostalgia      Rating:       This CD is The Who at their best. All of the adapted Who songs from the original CD are great, especially "The Real Me". All of the mod hits on the CD are great, especially "High Heel Sneakers". This CD is nostalgia for me from when I first heard it in my early teens in the early eighties. I first heard this CD during the summer of 1980 at the Jersey shore in New Jersey, of course. The CD blew me away. I still listen to it to this day. It really takes me back to my younger days. If you are as big a Who fan as I am, you will love it. Don't forget to see the movie, it is great.     Customer Reviews for Quadrophenia Songs From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Cd      Quadrophenia ~ The Who      Rating:      I bought this CD for my husband. It was not exactly what he expected. He was surprised it was a soundtrack. We both loved the music and various artists on it. Editorial Reviews for Quadrophenia Songs From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Audio Cd      Amazon.com      During the '70s, Tommy went from being the Who's finest hour to excessive pop-culture cliché--precisely the sort of bloated musical albatross that fueled the decade's punk and new wave reactionaries. Consequently, director Frank Roddam imbued his 1979 version of Quadrophenia (Pete Townshend's 1973 introspective ode to teen angst set against the English mod versus rocker clashes of the early '60s) with a conscious sense of scale and humanity. Unlike the often embarrassing Tommy film spectacle, the band's musical presence on Quadrophenia is both concise and surprisingly fresh. They contribute three new songs ("Get Out and Stay Out," "Four Faces," "Joker James") that help flesh out the story and cut much of the original material down to its musical and emotional essence. Credit Who bassist/film musical director John Entwistle (who'd no doubt perceived the sharp musical changes just then happening around him) with stripping Quadrophenia down to size, in the process underscoring his thunderous, cascading bass lines; Pete Townshend's slashing power chords; Keith Moon's maniacal drum fills; and Roger Daltrey's vocal power. After Tommy, less was indeed more. --Jerry McCulley
