Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Had Enough doesn't feature John Entwistle on lead vocals. I received a brand new, sealed copy from OP as a Christmas gift. It's filled with wonderful memories.
Meh (but it's a decent album!)Unlike my UK original, this one's sound is more muted and lacks clarity. It attempts to compensate with a bit more bass, but it's more of a certain bass bloom rather than real depth and texture. The soundstage isn't as wide, which is another downside. But the worst part... some—not all—tracks here are in the wrong key/pitch and sound a bit sadder in their slightly altered presentation. Most ~2015 Who reissues sound fantastic, but not this one. At least the vinyl is quiet (for GZ) and the cover is replicated alright, but it's not enough to justify buying this over finding a clean UK first, which aren't hard to find or expensive.
This one's not so good (though the album itself is great!). Compared to my UK original, the sound here is more muted and less clear. It tries to make up for it with a bit more bass, but it's more of a certain bass boost than actual depth and richness. The soundstage isn't as wide, which is another downside. But the worst part is... some, but not all, tracks are in the wrong key/pitch and sound a bit sadder because of it. Most of the ~2015 Who reissues sound fantastic, but not this one. At least the vinyl is quiet (for GZ) and the cover is decently replicated, but it's not enough to justify buying this over finding a clean UK first press, which aren't hard to find or expensive.
I'm not a huge fan of most of the "Who Are You" studio album, it's a bit too proggy for my taste. However, I purchased this for discs 4-7, the rehearsals and live performances, and it's absolutely worth it! It's fantastic to hear the guys having a great time jamming and playing around with covers. It's also interesting to hear them "knocking into shape" the title track, "Who Are You". The Shepperton gig from May '78 features some enjoyable, noisy, and aggressive versions of "My Wife" and "My Generation". It's intriguing to listen to the original version of "Won't Get Fooled Again" before Keith Moon's drum part was overdubbed and edited. Now, the absolute highlight of this set is the 2-CD live '79 set. They're playing like absolute beasts! It's a composite show compiled from gigs in Pontiac, Detroit & Philly. I'm as skeptical about Kenny as anyone, but there's no denying that all of them absolutely nailed it. This might be one of the greatest live Who albums. Pete and John sound exhausted but play brilliantly. There's some trouble with the crowd, and Pete has to tell them to take one step back to prevent a crush. Another layer of trauma for the band to carry on top of what they were already dealing with. This is a phoenix from the ashes story. If you're into live Who, this set is worth it, even if you're not a fan of the studio album.
