Annotationen
Dieses Album ist das Resultat einer wiedergewonnenen Freiheit, nachdem das Projekt eines Followups zu Tommy, Lifehouse, gescheitert ist. Lifehouse
wäre eine Science-Fiction-Rockoper geworden, deren Thema die Verschmelzung von Band und Publikum war. Unter anderem hatte Pete Townsend die Idee, biografische und biometrische Daten von Leuten aus dem Publikum in einen Synthesizer zu speisen, der aus diesen Melodien zusammenstellen sollte. Das Scheitern des Lifehouse
Projekts brachte die Band fast zum auseinanderbrechen, Pete Townsend an den Rand eines Nervenzusammenbruchs und Selbstmords. Die für das Musical geplanten Songs sind auf Who's Next
, Who Are You und Odds And Sods erscheinen. Who's Next
hat es auf viele Bestenlisten geschafft, weil es ohne Füllmaterial auskam, das bei einer Rockoper durch das Anstreben einer grösstmöglichen Kohärenz der Erzählung notwendig wird. Es gilt als das geradlinigste Rockalbum der Gruppe auf dem Zenit ihres Schaffens. Exzellent gelungen ist es Townshend, einen Arp 2600 Synthesizer in den Gruppensound zu integrieren (Baba O'Riley und Won't Get Fooled Again). Schliesslich ist das Album produktionstechnisch ein Meilenstein: Nie zuvor klangen The Who dermassen satt und laut.
Das Cover ist eine Anspielung an den Monolithen, der im Kubrik-Film 2001: A Space Odyssey auf dem Mond gefunden wird.
