Will The Who have a strong debut like the Stones (ABB #3) or even better like Bob Dylan or Rod Stewart (both hit #1 in the last few months with latest cd's)
Or, will the album be a total flop? It isn't getting a ton of air play. And there is no video (at least not one I have seen) for the new single. It has been 25 years since the last Who album. Plus, P.Townsend is bad mouthing his own band in interviews (saying we wouldn't pay money go see The Who)
I say the album will debut in the lower part of the top 10. |

I agree, what I've heard so far, sounds pretty good |

If the thing sells more than 80,000 copies in its first week, I'll be shocked. |

It certainly won't be number 1 as a few are hoping. No Who album has ever made it to number 1 in the US, not even Who's Next and Quadrophenia. If they couldn't do it in the '70's they ain't gonna do it now.

Pete has ALWAYS been like this yet everyone seems so shocked. He's been badmouthing the Who from the very beginning. In The Kids Are Alright there's a clip from the mid-60s in which Pete says the Who's problem is they "haven't got any musical quality." And remember all those interviews in the '70's when he made out like the Who were on the verge of breaking up? It got so bad that there were rumors floating around in 1974 that the band really did break up.
It's just Pete being Pete and nothing more.

Somewhere in the top ten for sure. And it doesnt really matter that The Who have never had a #1 CD, chart positions have only been based on sales since 1991. |

I don't know. I got all excited about the new Who album when I saw them on Letterman several weeks ago. When I looked for the new release and it wasn't out yet, I ended up completely forgetting they'll be having a new release.
I'd say if they're going to go on national shows doing songs, they better hurry up and release it while it's in the public's minds. |

Some very good points made here but answer me this: How the hell did Dylan's CD hit No. 1 last month? It's not like he's had a huge publicity machine behind it. He's touring minor league ballparks and playing to crowds usually in the 3,500-5,000 range. The Who are selling out hockey arenas.
I can understand Rod Stewart debuting at No. 1 (plenty of female listeners with no taste, especially baby-boomers). But if Dylan can debut at No. 1, why can't The Who?
That said, I don't think they will. It has always amazed me they've never had a No. 1 album in the US and only one ('WHo's Next,' for a week) in the UK. |

That IS amazing !!!!
However , I was in BEST BUY last week asking the young clerks just when THE WHO's new album will arrive in the store and the kids knew the correct date : October 31st .
Pete has always written great War Songs ( especially about Wars that are being lost .. ie : Vietnam and now Iraq ) and young people are now flocking to this band with an enthusiam I have not seen since 1982 .

The Who don't have nearly as much appeal today as Dylan or The Stones.
They can still play big arenas (barely), but they can't fill stadiums. The album will probably just make the top 10 and then drop like a lead you-know-what. |

Then why, may I ask, is Dylan's tour only playing 5,000-seat minor league stadiums while The Who are selling out hockey arenas like MSG and Boston Garden? And adding shows, too!?!? |

because The Who still have a strong reputation as a GREAT, powerful live band and Dylan's shows have a reputation for being hit-or-miss, and even downright boring.
a lot more adults are likely to put Dylan's album on the stereo than the Who's album. Modern Times (like Love & Theft & Time Out of Mind) is pretty easygoing and has a nice, "cool," rootsy feel. even if you're not a huge Dylan fan, the music works well in the background. but The Who's recordings don't generally have that kind of appeal. they're better if you want to be ROCKED, which, again, is why people go to their live show: for the big epic, anthemic sound...
