IMO; it's The Who's most underrated album.

It's The Who "Unplugged".

WAY is my current favourite. It's much louder, harder and in y'r face. 
Comes closer to hard rock / arena rock. Also, optimal use of synthesizers 
and Moonie's drumming is amazing. Love the bonus tracks on the re-issue 
(though they are more of the "soft kind" of songs for that album). "Empty 
Glass" is one of my favourite (though unfinished) Who songs. Sensitive and 
raw. And awesome drumming...
