And finally, because it arrived late in the day, WHO by The Who. Interesting one this. It is clearly head and shoulders above Endless Wire and probably everything after Who By Numbers too but there are some odd disconcerting moments so I am not sure what I make of it overall. Two openly and self consciously (in a Cher fashion) auto tune heavy songs sung by Pete. An extraordinary, lavish 60s pastiche amongst the bonus tracks that would sound more at home on a Dukes of Stratosphear record. Then there is Street Song which is a masterpiece but bizarrely possibly the best thing here is another of the bonus tracks, so not on the core album, the utterly splendid This Gun Will Misfire.

It's my experience that albums that initially confuse or present as inconsistent often endure and prove really essential, perhaps more so that albums that gently please. Those songs that don't make sense initially can grow as others fade. Neil Young, Macca, Thompson have all done this to me.  I haven't heard the album but it will interesting to hear how impressions change, or not, with further listens
 

So, all in all, it is more than could be hoped that The Two would be able to pull off something this good at this stage but on the other hand there is an air of oddness about it.
