Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 One of Pete's best
Submitted on: 2009-01-10 |

| I have always enjoyed this album. I remember when it came out at the beginning of the 1980's. A girlfriend of mine played it nonstop. I love "Rough Boys" and "Empty Glass." Pete has always been a terrific songwriter and guitar player, and this collection of songs showcases his brilliance, even though it was written during a difficult time in his life. A classic that I will never tire of. A deeply personal effort filled with confusion, anger, self-doubt, but extremely listenable. |

Calling all fans of Pete Townshend
Submitted on: 2008-10-01 |

[...]The aim of the petition is not to force Pete to do anything (if that is even possible), but simply to show how important the website was for the fans and the support they would give for its reopening. Also, there is the very concrete purpose of showing that there are quite a lot of people who would use the website - not an insignificant consideration and not necessarily self-evident as things are now. The decision is, as always, his and depends on his wishes and motivations.
The petition opened on 14 September and is currently at 289 signatures. Information about it was sent to Pete a week ago on monday and he IS aware of it. However, the petition remains open and signable. An update will be sent to Pete in a week or two, so it's very much worth signing (and posting a comment if you want to). |

Pete's solo classic!

| Though it's often downplayed thanks to his experimental leanings, Townshend had a knack for writing the perfect pop-rocker that stretched from "I Can't Explain" and "The Kids Are All RighT" to "You Better You Bet" and "Athena". Empty Glass is, basically, an album full of those perfect pop-rockers. It doesn't make any significant advances past the Who's hard-rocking, synthesizer-driven, intelligent sound, which is my only complaint, and a small one at that. The whole album is just filled with some of the best melodies I've heard - top 5 "Let My Love Open the Door" is only the best known example; the ambiguous "And Then I Moved" (which casts Townshend's sexuality in a questioning light - not that I mind); rock critic insult "Jooles and Jim"; "I Am an Animal" and "Rough Boys" are similar: solid melodies, hard-to-forget refrains, lots of fun synthesizer parts. The hard-rocking side of Townshend's still here too: check the slide-and-harp blues "Cat's in the Cupboard" or the guitar-heavy title track and "I'm Gonna Get You". And every song is at about that level, which makes Empty Glass a must-have for Who fans. Interestingly, Townshend's voice has dropped an octave or so - no longer high and clear, so you can't expect him to hit the same notes as he did on "The Song Is Over" - instead, he's more at "Eminence Front" level. While I prefer the high-pitched Townshend (it just sounds so different! And I like different!), he's still a fine singer on this album. |
