I tend to agree, but "By Numbers" is worth a second listen.
About half the songs are bleh but a couple are brilliantly written.
"However Much I Booze" and "Dreaming from the Waist" stand out.
Pete was in good form (and severely depressed, it's not
happy music).
I just sort of filed that one. I don't like "SlipKid" or
"Squeezebox" It's the
first Who album I didn't buy. I did start buying "Jam" albums around that
time though.
I'm tellin' ya, those are the two worst songs on the album.
Why they were the singles is beyond me. Give it another listen.
OK I promise
to stop being OT now :-)
I'll never figure out how music can be off topic anywhere. :}
By semi-popular demand, I have declined to shut up ;-)
