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.
