From Amazon.com: A mix of old favorites and buried treasures makes this edition of Who's Next a definite must. One of the defining albums of 70s hard rock from one of the 60s most successful bands, the original album includes some of The Who's best-known work, such as the anthemic "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again", the by turns sorrowful and angry "Behind Blue Eyes", and perennial favorite "My Wife". The new tracks on this album are equally worth hearing, including "Pure and Easy" (an alternate edition of which is available on Odds & Sods) and the original version of "Behind Blue Eyes". A hard rock classic, Who's Next is required listening for rock fans of all ages. --Genevieve Williams

Rating: - Never Bettered
I was a very young man when I fisrt bought my copy of "Who's Next", and it is an album that has stayed with me for over 30 years, one that I come back to time after time. Why is that? Well, it's a very simple question to answer, this is the epitome of a seminal album. It is The Who at their absolute peak.
I have a very wide ranging musical taste, taking into scope blues / rock / pop / jazz / big-band swing / electronica / indie and Lord knows what, and I would be very hard pushed to ... Read More
Rating: - Remixed and Remastered versus Remastered-only
This is a more technical comment on this re-release - obviously this is a full five star album, genius at its very height, etc.
However having listened closely to the "Deluxe" (2-CD) version of Who's Next against the earlier 1995 "Remixed and Digitally Remastered" (1-CD) version (which this 1999 CD is likely the same as - it has the same running order/extras, etc.) - they ain't the same (if you use iTunes, use Apple Lossless - you'll never go back to MP3, BTW - or FLAC with other players). ...

Rating: - If only all music was this good!
This is without a doubt the best album The Who ever recorded. Every track is a masterpiece, and with the bonus tracks makes this an essential cd to own for every Who fan. Don't forget to turn up the volume as the louder it is the better it sounds!
Rating: - Simply an awesome album
Pete Townshend is a genius.
I'm a recent convert to The Who. Yes I knew of their iconic tracks, such as 'My Generation', but I didn't feel the need to regularly listen to and therefore own any of these.
'Who's Next', however, is a truly monumental album and goes straight into my all time top 10 albums (if not the top 5). It's a journey through Pete Townshend's creative consciousness - and what a journey. I have and will listen to this over and over again, it's that satisfying. ... Read More
