Really?  I think WAY is incredible.  WAY is a great song (live version is my 
fav Who song), certainly.  But 905, Guitar and Pen, sister disco, trick of 
the light are very solid who tunes, IMHO.  I actually like music must change, 
also.  Maybe it's not Pete's best work, but John's additions are excellent.  
New Song is kind of pop-ish and too synth dominated, but I don't mind it.  
Anyway, just a take.  I suppose it can be criticized because keith wasn't the 
same wild drummer he was in his prime (odd to mention someone being past his 
prime at age 31), but the album is still very good- even by Who standards.  
Just an observation: have you ever seen a 31 year-old person who aged as 
quickly as keith?  he is virtually unrecognizeable when compared with the 
late 60s keith.  It's very evident when looking at the CD cover from the 
Boxed set.
