Very briefly about the last album at the moment (and most likely in principle) by the great band. At the time of recording the record, only two members of the collective remained alive - Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. The latter as usual wrote all the album's compositions, and Roger sang them penetratingly, though with a completely brutal hoarseness (at that time Daltrey was already 62). The band (a duo with the participation of a large number of session musicians) wanted to cover all periods of The Who's work - 9 diverse tracks with allusions to Who's next and the influence of all records of the 80s and the mini-rock-opera Wire & Glass of ten compositions, clearly inspired by Tommy through the prism of Quadrophenia, though in a compressed retrospective format. It came out overall not bad, only painfully superficial, but as an act of nostalgia it is suitable. Well, and the fans did not let down - Top-10 on both sides of the Atlantic. If you have never listened to The Who, then it is strange to start with Endless Wire, and if you have already listened to all the main records, then do not deny yourself this one either.
