Face Dances (Remastered) – The WhoView More By The Who Our ReviewThe death of drummer Keith Moon left the Who without one of its key components. The Who were that rare band that depended on each member equally and adding Kenney Jones of the Faces changed things forever. Where the band once went for near anarchy, they now had to settle for disciplined, scripted pop. Which is why Face Dances is a brilliant Pete Townshend album. Moon’s absence meant Townshend could rethink his relationship with his band of nearly twenty years and he responds with several of his finest songs in years. “You Better You Bet,” “Don’t Let Go The Coat” and “Another Tricky Day” stare down Townshend’s own mortality with an unflinching look. Townshend often replaces death with the quirks of love and sends lead singer Roger Daltrey out there to play the stud to his own more meditational self. Bassist John Entwistle contributes two tough rockers with “The Quiet One” and “You.” The expanded edition of the album contains five bonus cuts, including three studio cuts and two live versions of album tracks.. Customer ReviewsThe Music Must Change (5 stars)I've been reading the same reviews on this album for 25 years. Everyone says essentially the same thing: It's not Keith Moon, ...the band misses Moon's drumming, ... Kenny Jones is no Keith Moon, ...etc. I bought this when it was originally released on vinyl in 1981. Kenny Jones is BRILLIANT on this album. I can appreciate the legions of fans loyal to Moon, but... HE"S GONE! I would rather have this version of the Who than no Who at UNBELIEVEABLE (5 stars) Have you people listened to this CD? The loss of Moon makes practically NO DIFFERENCE to the quality of these songs. The band evolved, the times have changed. "How can you do it alone", "Another Tricky Day", "You Better You Bet", would you rather have seen the who quit and never seen these unbelievable tracks? One of the Who's best, although not as consistent or fluid as Quadrophenia or Who's Next. I Miss Moon (4 stars) It is a great album but it is missing the explosive drumiong of moon that can so easly be identified as some of the best drumming ever. however this is a solid album that i realy love. Ithink it is fun to listen to and very unknow and underated. it is great but you will miss Moons style of drums if u are a Who Nut. I recomend this album to someon who likes a fun upbeat pop freindly rock album. BiographyFormed: 1964 in London, EnglandGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s Few bands in the history of rock & roll were riddled with as many contradictions as the Who. All four members had wildly different personalities, as their notoriously intense live performances demonstrated. The group was a whirlwind of activity, as the wild Keith Moon fell over his drum kit and Pete Townshend leaped into the air with his guitar, spinning his right hand in exaggerated windmills. Vocalist Roger Daltrey strutted across the stage with a thuggish menace, as bassist John Entwistle...
