Keith's last
The album is all over the place but it does have the great title track and it is the last album Moon made with the group so for those reasons it is an essential Who album. Not everything here is great, but enough of the songs are good enough to make this one worth owning.

Good but Townshend's Heart was out of it
It has great tracks such as "sister disco" and "who are you" and "new song" and the "music must change". However, those songs were meant for the aborted lifehouse projects which would be compiled later in Pete Townshend's Lifehouse Chronicles which you can buy on his website. Lifehouse was the supposed follow-up to Tommy and has 8 of the 9 songs from Who's next. Of course the songs listed above are the better tracks but during this time Pete kept drinking and gradually leaving the Who so to speak. He just didn't care anymore. If you read the liner notes you'll see why "who are you" is named that way.

A Superb Album Before Keith Fought His Way To Heaven
John Entwistle, the band's bassist, wrote a lot of songs (many of 'em sung by Roger Daltrey) like "Had Enough" and "905." He began experimenting with the synthesizer for the first time as well. I am proud that Keith Moon made sure the Who's audience would give their last hurrahs to this album before his death. "Trick of the Light" (also written by Entwistle) is a wonderful track, because Pete Townshend explained that Entwistle's 8-string bass solo "sounded like a musical Mack truck." "Trick" could have paved references to songs such as Pink's "18 Wheeler" (Pete's quote on John's bass solo--18-wheeler trucks have a big sound) and Supertramp's "Rudy" (although recorded and released four years prior to this album; same quote as above--but, as the bridge begins, the guitar solo, played by Roger Hodgson, sounds like a musical train)
