An Excellent Album!
After Keith Moon died in 1978, The Who found a replacement drummer, Kenney Jones. He was a good drummer, but not as good as Keith Moon. Face Dances, the first Who album after Keith Moon died, has a lot of good songs. "You Better You Bet" is the most well-known song from the album, and is a Who classic. "Don`t Let Go The Coat" has good harmony. "Cache Cache" is probably my least favorite song from the album. "The Quiet One" is a great song written by John Entwistle. The live version of this song is even better. John`s bass playing and Pete`s guitar are awesome! "Did You Steal My Money?" is a fun song to listen to. "How Can You Do It Alone" is a great song. "Daily Records" is fun. "You" is another great song written by John Entwistle. Roger`s vocals are great on this song. "Another Tricky Day" ends the album(besides the extra tracks). This song ends a very well made album by The Who. R.I.P. John!
Moonless Face Dance
On "Face Dances" The Who were "faced" (sorry) with a big problem; not with Kenney Jones but with substandard material. "You Better You Bet", "Don`t Let Go The Coat", "The Quiet One", and "Another Tricky Day" are good songs, but the rest are definitely below The Who`s standards. The previous year, Pete Townshend released his classic solo album, "Empty Glass"; if he would`ve saved just a couple of songs from that set and used it here it would have made this album a lot stronger.

Of the bonus tracks offered here, the best song here is an early live version of "How Can You Do It Alone". Even though it`s really just a loose jam with Townshend sounding like he`s making up the lyrics on the spot I found it ten times more enjoyable than the studio version. A live version of "The Quiet One" is also included.

this who album requires no apologies
Face Dances means a lot to a lot of people, here`s why:

1. the songwriting: superb
2. musicianship: amazing
3. timeliness: right on right now
4. production and aesthetics: stellar (thanks Jon Astley)
5. value: to some, priceless

i wish i could have the opportunity to work on a album of this magnitude someday.

...another tricky day...just another tricky day for The Who...they`ll get through...

regards,
DP
