Reviews Customer Reviews for Quadrophenia Do you realize that you exist? Rating: Yes or no, this album is one for all seasons, a tale of awakening much like Hesse's Siddhartha. I would call it eloquent, and it often is, but the nakedness of the whole thing is what hits close to home in the attentive listener. It's very stripped-down in sound, not over-produced, and much of it clearly done on-the-fly with great talent. John Entwistle's distinctively separate bass, alternating counterpoint with melody--along with his self-played horn arrangments--are among the musical highlights. If you are not a Who fan, you likely have heard their studio albums. Well, the band hated the way those turned out too. The live albums are where you get the true band, and, mimicking the stage magic, this album destroys. Buy it, now. As a note here, the storyline is not as apparent as it was in Tommy, so watching the much-later-made movie helps, and is edifying on its own. The film is bleak realism mixed with period music and spot-on acting, unlike anything in the horrible musical film Tommy. Five stars, hands down.
Customer Reviews for Quadrophenia Cd KEITH'S GOLDEN MOMENT!!! Rating: I've been a drummer & Moonie Fan since 1967. This is as good as it gets as far as Keith's all around performaces go.
Totally Inventive... Tasteful & Utterly Amazing!
The whole performance, concept and lyrics aren't bad either : - )
