"IT'S HARD" is the eleventh studio album by the legendary rock band The Who, released on September 4, 1982, under the Geffen label. This classic rock masterpiece spans a total of 70 minutes, offering a compelling journey through the band's signature sound and innovative spirit.

The album kicks off with the powerful "Athena" and continues with a mix of hard-hitting rock tracks and introspective ballads. Standout tracks like "It's Your Turn," "Cooks County," and the title track "It's Hard" showcase The Who's ability to blend raw energy with poignant lyrics. The album also features a live version of "It's Hard," along with live renditions of "Eminence Front," "Dangerous," and "Cry If You Want," providing a dynamic contrast to the studio recordings.

Dull Pressing Disappointment
2 out of 5 stars
Lznsip662 December 2025United States🇺🇸
I'd hoped the other reviews were too harsh or inaccurate, as I impulsively bought this from a store without checking the pressing details first... sadly, after just spinning Eminence Front, I can say this isn't a good pressing. It sounds as dull as others have said.
Poor Mix, Timing Issues
2 out of 5 stars
DahubvowatVogi7 September 2025United States🇺🇸
The timing problem on 'Eminence Front' is a real letdown, it's so off-putting. The mix is awful too, the bass is totally out of sync with the rest of the instruments and it's not mixed properly for stereo whatsoever. One of the poorest mixes I've come across on an album. The sound quality of the pressing is alright, a bit too quiet but clean overall. But nothing gels together right on this album, unlike the CD or digital versions. Just not a good pressing at all.
Great Album

My Top Track Picks : - Eminence Front - Athena
Mixed Audio Quality
3 out of 5 stars
Qtbacu28 March 2025United States🇺🇸
Apart from the songs themselves, the audio quality is just okay. Interestingly, the clearest track is "Eminence Front," which has fantastic dynamics and sounds beautiful. This makes me suspect that the murky sound of the rest of the album might be due to poor production on those tracks. In any case, it's not the worst, but it's certainly not the best either.
Favorite Who Album Despite Criticism
4 out of 5 stars
fuqentququn65427 January 2025United States🇺🇸
I'm at a loss as to why this album wasn't titled “It’s Your Turn” (considering the artwork), but that's a mystery for another day. Despite the endless complaints from critics about how supposedly terrible this album is, I've always been a fan. "One Life's Enough" is the sole track that's never quite clicked with me, but "Athena," "Dangerous," and "Cry If You Want" are among my all-time favorite Who songs. Oh, and has anyone else picked up on the similarity between "Cry If You Want" and Townshend's "Communication"?
