THE WHO SELL OUT
THE WHO
DECEMBER 1967
Pete Townshend's artsly self-consciousness, fertile imagination, andjoy of sonic exploration are beautifully showcased in this brilliant and sprawling concept album. For the poppers there's the hit " I Can See for Miles" (which further explores the blending of acoustic and distortied electrics -- a Townshend trade mark), and, for the freaks, the psychedelic washes of "Armenia City in the Sky." Townshend also includes some very funny fake jingles (a jab at radio stations), and moves closer to the band's 1969 masterwork Tommy with a mini-opera entitled "Rael."
It's a lot to take in, but The Who Sell Out works on so many levels that it's a blissful journey. --MM

I'm a little angry they only mentioned Pete, but it is the greatest guitar albums...
