Deep Purple released a new album, Black Sabbath also, as aswell many of the 70s' bigs. it's a time now for The Who to release a new studio album also, methinks. |

Let's pray that this won't happen.
Only Pete solo record and shows.. same with Roger (like he has already done)..
Clearly only chance for listenable music from them...

Deep Purple released a new album, Black Sabbath also, as aswell many of the 70s' bigs. it's a time now for The Who to release a new studio album also, methinks. On the basis of Endless Wire I'm quite content to live the rest of my years without a new Who album being recorded. The Black Sabbath release I was disappointed with because it came across like a completely contrived effort to copy their first two albums. I'd imagine that's probably how Townshend, wrongly, envisages the public wanting new Who material to be when he hears complaints about The Who no longer sounding like The Who. I believe the Deep Purple album is probably closer in construction to what the average Who fan would prefer. It has enough just elements of the bands' "classic" sound to keep hardcore fans happy, whilst at the same time being far enough removed from the sound of the original band to be something completely new. The big problem for me with Endless Wire was that it came across as a Pete Townshend solo album with, to justify the use of the Who's brand name, Daltrey on vocals and a couple of Who-y musical elements inserted here and there. Another album from that blueprint is of no interest to me. If however it were to take the happy medium between the Sabbath and Purple releases, instrumentaly showing a firm nod to the "classic" sound of old but compositionally with a freshly modern mentality, I might think differently. |

Even if a new album doesn't reach the levels of the classic yrs (which is inevitable), if treated as an audio documentary it will prove interesting
I really don't think a turkey album by them at this stage would dilute the legacy of the who
But there most likely will be some moments of great music. As with latter stones,Dylan , the albums can't be called classics but hey if you get a couple of tracks it's worthwhile
There's more pressure since 1995 to produce 60:70 min albums vs the near 30mins from days of by numbers or abbey road

I don't think that roger daltrey and pete townshend could make a bad album, with the amount of experience and maturity they have between them, and just don't think it should be labelled as the who and sit along side the likes of quad ,who's next etc

i don't believe that Daltrey ( who actually mentioned a new album) is willing to allow Townshend to create another EW under the Who brand name. i thought that Daltrey would to make a choice of a number of new Townshend's songs ( Daltrey already said that Townshed have a lot of them) and then that whole band who were touring with Quad last year, go in the studio. actually the most important question here is - who is to be a producer of new album? Pete Townshend? of course not. imho, his younger brother can be just great as a producer of new the Who album.

Townshend had a chance to do it after Entwistle's death (RIP), but he released EW as The Who, so it's too late now for that "Daltrey & Townshend" concept, methinks.

Pete mentions the possibility of a new album in Rolling Stone's article about the tour: Townshend said at the press conference that he had given Daltrey three new songs. "I gave Roger three demos of three rough songs and happily he likes them," said Townshend. "I really liked the pub rock sound of the album [Daltrey] did with Wilko [Johnson] [2014's Going Back Home] and we may try to make the record in a slightly more basic way than we normally work, although a lot of my writing these days is pretty complicated. It’s more prog rock than pub rock!” |

On the lighter aide about the new album, Xposé Entertainment reported the following: The musicians could be set to reunite with drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle to record the follow-up 2006's 'Endless Wire' before heading out on tour next year.   |

After listening to the press conference for the new tour I really want an acoustic, or at least more basic, album like Pete has suggested. I like the band sound and I love the music that's created between just the two of them. Hopefully if they present themselves as more a duo of Townshend and Daltrey as opposed to The Who it may give some reason to the lazy fans on this site to stop airing the same complaints over and over again..... Some of who are still espousing the same views since 1983. We get it. We know where you stand. Noted.

Great to have a new album and another tour, but please stop calling it the who! Townshend was explained once that The Who today (i.e. he and Daltrey with a rotation of employee musicians) is a BRAND NAME. is it so hard to be understood? that brand name sells cds and concert tickets a lot more! that's the same with almost all of so called "wheelchair rockers" i.e. 1960/70s bigs who are still in the business. e. g. the Yes is released a new cd with a new, young singer and Pink Floyd will release a new cd this fall and they also said it will be "back to basics". therefore, The Who also would to release a new album in that retro style. |

My perfect ending would be two more albums. One where they embrace Starkey and Palladino as almost full members and rock out. Then a smaller, more intimate record with just Pete and Roger in the vein of their acoustic performance at the recent press conference.
