Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0008811146320 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Mca Manufacturer: Mca MPN: 11463 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Mca Release Date: July 02, 1996 Studio: Mca Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: An excellent and frequently astonishing album, Quadrophenia is both more ambitious and less accessible than Tommy, the first and most well known rock opera. At its simplest level, Quadrophenia is a coming-of-age story with an awesome soundtrack. The album features some of the Who's finest material, in songs like the enraged "Real Me," the cynical "Punk Meets the Godfather," the wistful "5:15" and "Sea and Sand," and the powerful "Love, Reign O'er Me." The songwriting (courtesy of Pete Townshend) is top-notch, as is the production (the Who actually managed to use synthesizers in an original manner, something few rock bands can aspire to). The mix of powerful songwriting and skillful composition makes this one of the Who's finest moments. --Genevieve Williams Album Details: Same as USA Version. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - KEITH'S GOLDEN MOMENT!!!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 : - ) Rating: - The Real QuestionsQuadrophenia is the perfect musical context for the great questions of life. It is less than satisfactory to pass this off as a Rock Opera dealing with the "petty" issues of teenage angst. The questions posed during those years of transition between the summers of childhood and the winters of adult responsibility are indeed the ones we revisit as we approach the grave........Is this life of mine....the real me? Who am I....what do I see as the meaning of life.....and when will Love reign o'er us?..... ...

Maybe its my age and life experience but sounds great with a life lesson. Rating: - A BRILLIANT PRODUCTION ! (introspective and deeply personal, Quadrophenia is a rock opera that rocks)The Who's Quadrophenia (1973) is a double album rock opera that covers a Monday through Friday week in the life of Jimmy, a young man afflicted with a multi-personality disorder that includes four personalities. A tough guy, a helpless dancer. A romantic, is it me for a moment? A bloody lunatic, I'll even carry your bags. A beggar, a hypocrite, love reign over me. Schizophrenic? I'm bleeding Quadrophrenic. Each of the four personalities supposedly ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic albumThis would have to be The Who's best album. John Entwistle brings some of his best bass playing on The Real Me. Keith Moon's drumming is awesome. Love Reign O'er Me is a truely awesome song. |
