Album Review
On the Who's final album with Keith Moon, their trademark honest power started to get diluted by fatigue and a sense that the group's collective vision was beginning to fade. As instrumentalists, their skills were intact. More problematic was the erratic quality of the material, which seemed torn between blustery attempts at contemporary relevance ("Sister Disco," "New Song," "Music Must Change") and bittersweet insecurity ("Love Is Coming Down"). Most problematic of all were the arrangements, heavy on the symphonic synthesizers and strings, which make the record sound cluttered and overanxious. Roger Daltrey's operatic tough-guy braggadocio in particular was beginning to sound annoying on several cuts. Yet Pete Townshend's better tunes — "Music Must Change," "Love Is Coming Down," and the anthemic title track — continued to explore the contradictions of aging rockers in interesting, effective ways. Whether due to Moon's death or not, it was the last reasonably interesting Who record. The 1996 CD reissue adds five previously unreleased alternate takes and demos.

One of the best
by awesome man 1I have a tainted opinion on albums made by The Who because they are my favorite band and Keith Moon is my favorite musician ever. This is a good album though and under rated. Slower than the other albums by The Who, but still one of my favorites and always will be. If you are not interested in the whole album, then skip Empty Glass. After reading a review by the idiot 2oldtor&r I realized how dumb he sounded and really is. Keith Moon didn't play on "Music Must Change" because he couldn't keep up with the 6/8 time signature even though he did so on"They're All In Love" on The Who By Numbers. For some reason that statement made me mad. It's probably the fact that Keith Moon is my hero because I am a reckless teenager. He was rusty and couldn't think of a beat to keep. He does later at cymbal crashes once Pete Townshend established a rhythm with his footsteps. It is all in Tony Fletcher's book Moon: The Life And Death Of A Rock Legend. Pick it up, it's good but depressing. Just my kind of book.
Who Are You
by beatle edThis one takes a few listens, but once you've heard it a few times, it's great. I reccomend 'New Song' and of course, the title track.
Not to Be Taken Away (R.I.P. Keith Moon)
by thepinkfloydsoundMany Who fans believe that Keith Moon's drumming (along with everything else) had really declined by the release of 'Who Are You'. I, however, believe the opposite. I believe that the drumming on the title track is some of Keith's best in years, which shows an improvement over 'The Who By Numbers'. Whether or not you believe this is some of Moonie's best or worst drumming, you can't help but see the irony in the fact that the chair Keith is sitting in on the album cover has a sign on it that says "NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY", and Keith died just weeks after the release of this album. As for the actual album itself, everyone knows that the title track is one of the Who's best, period. Other great, often overlooked songs are "New Song", "Had Enough", "905", "Sister Disco", and "Music Must Change". In other words, the best parts of the album are the first five or so tracks, plus, of course, "Who Are You".
