Pete Townshend
White City: A Novel
Genre: Rock
3.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Give Blood
Face the Face
What I like about this album is that, as opposed to many other “concept albums” that require a great deal of attention be paid (looking at you, Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking) is this one is comprised of individual songs that actually work on their own as well as part of the whole. They are intensely Townshend (“Face the Face” is one of the more interesting of his tracks I’ve heard in a while) but all that means is, if you like the guy behind The Who but don’t care whether Daltrey sings the songs or not, this will work for you.
Fwiw, “Secondhand Love” works a lot better if you substitute “Secondhand” with “Chicken-Man”.
