Thoughts: This is supposed to be a perfect album, I guess. Way too many of the songs on this album have become part of our self-consciousness, making this on the level of Led Zeppelin's untitled LP. I really like the songs that aren't on the radio everyday, like the short, acoustic "Love Ain't For Keeping" and Entwistle's hilarious "My Wife". "Behind Blue Eyes" is certainly not a favorite, but I love "Baba O'Riley". I think "Won't Get Fooled Again" tries a little too hard to be the perfect ending, which is weird, considering that they have the perfect ending in "This Song Is Over".
Rating: 9/10
