There's nothing difficult about these songs; they've got volume, crispness, precision, but no life. In fact, nothing really happens until midway through "My Wife," when Townshend finds a riff he can work on, Moon and Entwhistle lock into a solid rhythm and Daltry sees fit to chant "keep on movin'" over the top of it all.

...face that won't interfere with the commercials when he fails. A city like New York, seemingly lurching in every direction at once without an apparent plan, needs more than a caretaker. Beame's combination of cautious administration and the meticulous pluralism called for by his organizational base will lock his administration into the same types of solutions that failed in the past, the blind him to many of the innovations in areas like land use and open-space planning would go for towards improving the urban environment...
