Reviewby Richie Unterberger
Pete Townshend revisited the rock opera concept with 
another double-album opus, this time built around the 
story of a young mod's struggle to come of age in the 
mid-'60s. If anything, this was a more ambitious project 
than Tommy, given added weight by the fact that the Who 
weren't devising some fantasy but were re-examining the 
roots of their own birth in mod culture. In the end, 
there may have been too much weight, as Townshend tried 
to combine the story of a mixed-up mod named Jimmy with 
the examination of a four-way split personality (hence 
the title Quadrophenia), in turn meant to reflect the 
four conflicting personas at work within the Who itself. 
The concept might have ultimately been too obscure and 
confusing for a mass audience. But there's plenty of 
great music anyway, especially on "The Real Me," "The 
Punk Meets the Godfather," "I'm One," "Bell Boy," and 
"Love, Reign o'er Me." Some of Townshend's most direct, 
heartfelt writing is contained here, and production-wise 
it's a tour de force, with some of the most imaginative 
use of synthesizers on a rock record. Various members of 
the band griped endlessly about flaws in the mix, but 
really these will bug very few listeners, who in general 
will find this to be one of the Who's most powerful 
statements.
