Quadrophenia (Remastered) – The WhoView More By The Who Our ReviewGrand concepts have always fueled the muse of Who guitarist Pete Townshend. Comprehending those concepts has often eluded all but the most ardent Who fanatics. Townshend’s double-album concept for Quadrophenia has something to do with a young British mod growing up in the ‘60s, who has not merely a split-personality, but a four-way disorder (hence, QUAD). Thankfully, whether one follows this narrative thread or not, the album itself contains several of the group’s finest songs (“The Real Me,” “The Punk Meets the Godfather,” “Love Reign O’er Me”) which are so incredibly dynamic — drummer Keith Moon holds nothing back — that they continue the rewriting of the hard rock playbook the group began with Live at Leeds and solidified with Who’s Next. There isn’t a hard rock group worth hearing that didn’t learn something from the breathless screams of Roger Daltrey and the innovative power chords of Pete Townshend. Recording technology was finally catching up with their ambitions, allowing them to capture their innate savagery and raw energy without sacrifice. Quadrophenia is a modern marvel, consistently thrilling as it defines an era with innovation and ambition.. Customer ReviewsOne of My Favorite Albums (5 stars)Quadrophenia is the story of a teenager growing up in a world divided between mods and rockers. His psychologist tells him he is schizophrenic. However, he is "quadrophenic." He has four personalities, which reflect the personalities of the members of The Who. Plot aside, Pete Townshend's music is amazing, putting this album up with Tommy and Who's Next. Don't look over the instrumental tracks, Quadrophenia and The Rock. Other Dessert for a Who fan (5 stars) Quadrophenia is not the best first album a new Who listener should approach, but it may just be the best Who album. It's a magnificant tribute to the excesses of youth enslaved by the dual pressures of fashon and group dynamics. You can hear strains of Quadrophenia in some more accessable Who albums like "Live at Leeds" and "Who's Next", and certainly the rock opera "Tommy". But if the these various albums QUADROPHENIA (5 stars) This album, is a horribly underrated rock masterpiece. Often overshadowed my it's predessesor, Tommy, this album takes an obsure subject and personifies it beautifully. Townshend's writing on this is simply superb. Entwistle plays his best bass ever on "The Real Me." Roger's voice on "Love Reign O'er Me," makes you shiver. It's so very beautiful. Kieth it as his best drumming, and Pete, not known as a great guitarist, do 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...
