E! reviews the EP giving it a B. “Surprisingly, despite the deaths of drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle, this release sounds more like the classic Who than the group’s last album, 1982’s It’s Hard. Sure, Daltrey’s voice… Read More »2006-07-24

              The Guardian weighs in on Wire and Glass. “Clattering drums and an urgent vocal introduce the Who’s first new music in yonks, pitched somewhere between Tommy and Quadrophenia.

                      The Times (London) reviews the Who’s new mini-opera EP Wire and Glass: “It’s all faintly preposterous. But there’s something great about it too; something noble in Townshend’s belligerent insistence that there’s nothing the novel, say, can achieve that rock music can’t.
