"TRY ME" The album kicks off with an Eighties synthesizer as you would expect being a product of the Eighties and all but about 20 seconds into the song the synthesizer than come almost growlish vocals from Entwistle which then quickly turns into the full on synthesizer then back to the great bass playing then back to the synthesizer that ends personally a song that's too long. "Talk Dirty" The song starts of with an unbelievable eight string bass solo that stays with the song throughout, the song is a little to dark referring to few homophobic words that make no sense in the song. "LOVEBIRD" The song starts of with seductive guitar licks from the great Joe Walsh and great double tracked high notes from Entwistle. "SLEEPING MAN" The song starts of with some great but simple piano from Entwistle that leads into a another good song that is probably a dark Mick take out of Pete Townshend that is by far a great one. "I'M COMING BACK" A more Punk sounding song which could have been written while he was on a plane. "DANCING MASTER" The song is almost a Disco like track at the beginning but you soon realise that the song is serious then Entwistle out of the blue does what he does best BASS SOLOS on to be given some treatment from Walsh's amazing slide guitar that then turns in Entwistle almost claiming that he's dancing well you can see it in your head anyway. "FALLEN ANGEL" A very sad song about someone who isn't famous no more and might as well go to meet Lucifer (the devil) in hell. "LOVE IS A HEART ATTACK" Is by far a great song with an almost Punky sound with Walsh's best guitar solo on this album. The song seems to go on about his future death. "TOO LATE THE HERO" A great track driven by piano and synthesizer that engulf you in the song, Truly a great end to a Superb album.John Entwistle Left for LiveRoger Daltrey McVicar (Original Soundtrack Recording)Roger Daltrey Daltrey4.0 excellentJohn Entwistle Music from Van-PiresJohn Entwistle Rigor Mortis Sets InPete Townshend Who Came FirstPete Townshend Scoop 3Roger Daltrey Rocks in the HeadRoger Daltrey One of the BoysRoger Daltrey Ride a Rock HorseRoger Daltrey A Celebration: The Music of Pete Townshend and TheSimon Townshend Sweet Sound"Sweet Sound" is the first album by Simon Townshend, the younger brother of Pete Townshend who produced the album, Simon Townshend may share a second name with Pete Townshend but he also shares his singing voice. The album sounds a lot like Pete Townshend's great solo hit record "Empty Glass" mainly because the great man himself produced it and used his own usual musical collaborators such as the great "Mark Brzezicki" of Scottish band "Big Country" and Pete Townshend's arranger and father-in-law, Ted Astley The album is among Simon Townshend's many unknown gems, the tracks "Sweet Sound" and "So Real" are all great but there is one particular gem "I'm the Answer" that makes the album complete a track that gives you the same feel as "You Better You Bet" (light hearted and lively) the track "Freakers" is an interesting track that also stands out. The song writing may not be Pete Townshend but it's still good musically. the album is well worth a listen for any die hard Who fan or someone who loves AOR rock.The Who It's HardThe Who Who Are You3.5 greatJohn Entwistle Mad DogPete Townshend ScoopedRoger Daltrey Can't Wait to See the MovieIn the 1980's Daltrey swapped his classic rock persona for a middle-aged man fighting to keep his name in the charts that is understandable as he did keep rock involved with his music and he used his amazing voice but this album turns into a pretentious pile of 80's cr*p, over-the-top synthesizers and utterly lifeless vocals that compares Daltrey (middle-aged man) to Rick Astley (young pop singer) but within the album there is some great tracks. GOOD TRACKS there are some hidden minor treasures to say the least "READY FOR LOVE" 3.5/5) is a lovely pop balled written by Kit Hain with some good vocals and synthesizer "BALANCE ON WIRES" (3/5) the song isn't great but does remind me of Who classic "Behind Blue Eyes" only trading good acoustic guitar for over-the-top keyboard playing by Don Snow that leads into a very heavy rock guitar solo and roaring vocals by Daltrey that remind you of the infamous scream in "Won't Get Fooled Again" but many fans would be turned away from this song right at the start (Not to mention the first two tracks) "THE PRICE OF LOVE" (4/5) a more romantic song with some great saxophone playing by David Boruff that tells the story of a young man falling in love and then being told to leave her, Well, that must be The Price of Love. "THE HEART HAS IT'S REASONS" (3.5/5) a nice little pop number thats well worth a listen "LOVER'S STORM" (4.5/5) Daltrey let's go of his old boring voice and the long awaited roaring vocals set in with a truly great song "TAKE ME HOME" (3/5) the song starts of with some interesting synthesizer work but quickly turns into a over the top synthesizer with vocals that sound like Rod Stewart. So is this what you would want from a rock god. (long awaited Answer) NO. Can't Wait to See the Movie well I bet Daltrey Can't Wait to Sell the Record.Roger Daltrey Parting Should Be PainlessThe Who Endless WireThe Who Face DancesThe Who The Who by NumbersThe Who The Who Sell Out3.0 goodJohn Entwistle The RockPete Townshend PsychoderelictPete Townshend The Iron Man: The MusicalPete Townshend Live>Brixton Academy 1985Pete Townshend Live>BAM 1993Pete Townshend Live>La Jolla Playhouse 22/06/01Pete Townshend Live>La Jolla Playhouse 23/06/01Pete Townshend Live>The Fillmore 1996Pete Townshend Live>The Empire 1998Pete Townshend Live>Sadler's Wells 2000Pete Townshend Pete Townshend Live: A Benefit for Maryville AcadeThe Who Live at Hull 1970The Who Greatest Hits LiveThe Who The Who at Kilburn: 1977The Who Quadrophenia Live2.5 averageThe Who My GenerationThe Who Wire And Glass2.0 poorSimon Townshend Moving TargetAfter releasing the boring debut album "Sweet Sound" Simon Townshend released "Moving Target", unlike his last album being produced by Pete Townshend he decided to bring in the legendary producer Neil Kernon and take on the AOR sound which makes the album sound more like Duran Duran. Kicking the album off is "Meet You" a lively track with some great arrays of synthesizers throughout, leading into the song "Barriers" a track that at first gets your feet taping but quickly becomes boring until your rendered into submission by a blistering bass solo that could had easily been John Entwistle himself, The next track is another lively track that in parts sounds like The Who's infamous "Won't Get Fooled Again" but the track likes to repeat itself in the four minutes it runs for, the next track "Sorry" is a complete bore that tells the tale of being so for chatting you up, and having a one night stand with you, The next track "Price To Pay" is a complete bore worth skipping, The next track "Believe In You" is bad from start to end, well worth skipping, The next track "Addiction" is an additive track with great keyboard work and another blistering bass solo, "Moving Target" is no doubt the best track of the album, A timeless track with seductive synthesizer throughout, The next track "Frustrated Hearts" is yet again, a boring track, the ending track "Genuine" features yet again, seductive synthesizer a great way to end a somewhat disappointing album.1.5 very poorVali Skogslandskap1.0 awfulVali Forlatt
