I haven't had a chance to pick it up today. Anybody out there buy it up yet?
The Boston Globe and USA Today both gave it pretty good reviews. I was wonering what everyone thought of it.
I noticed it was up to #3 on AMAZON.COM early today.

I'm hoping to receive it for my birthday, otherwise I'd have got it already. I've been watching Sunday's gig at the Roundhouse online, having failed to snaffle a ticket...
It's a taster anyway.
I did something I rarely do: buy music at electronic stores.
I couldn't help it; the bonus disc Best Buy puts on this thing is essential. So, basically, it's a 3-disc set (Endless Wire + bonus CD and DVD).
Haven't listened to it yet.
(Plus, there's a grand prize to "Fly Away with the Who" -- 24 runner-up prizes)

Just bought it, trying to do my share to get The Who their first-ever No. 1 album (highly doubtful). It's not bad. Very Quad-ish in spots, no overtly classic songs or hit singles to be found. In all, a nice piece of work.

It will hit the top 10 in UK according to early sales.

The Who boards are bitching that Lyon was one of the worst shows and can't understand why it was included.
To me the material is simply OK, not great, not bad.
A Bigger Band is far better!
Sorry I make Joey weep and shit liquid, but I gotta call it like I see it.

time is on my side
Bought it today & gave it a listen. My intial reaction is that it's very much a hit or miss album. Parts of it are very good and other parts are very average. Maybe the average to below average songs will change with repeated listens.
All in all, I would say it's just OK. I enjoy it and like it but it's nothing really special. Leaves me to wonder with Pete devoting this much time & energy into this final product what remains in the creative well if anything.
Still it's a nice album and they give you a bonus CD & a bonus DVD at one great price. I would say it's a BARGAIN.

Oh, almost forgot, any album with a song called Unholy Trinity can't be all bad.
They've got a hit.

After a quick listen or two. I'd say the record is solid if unspectacular. I'd give it about 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
It's great to have The Who back after 25 years.

Where would you say The Who ranks among the all time great bands?
In my opinion I think they would rank 3rd behind The Beatles and The Stones. You could make an argument for Led Zepplin at #3. But, I'd go with The Who as the third biggest band of all time.

they had leeds printed with lyon over it. how quaint. havent seen the dvd yet but the new material is really cool maybe not as strong as bigger bang but the who arent goin on as many cyclinders the stones are. next week is the release of the vegas job from 99. if its as good as the 2000 tour was it should be great. only saw the who in 99 play acoustic at the bridge which was different.

I picked it up today along with KISSology which are both great, The Who album is very good, but I think the order of songs up to the mini opera, is a little werid, I think Mike Post Theme should have opened the album, imho

I listened to it once in the car and the title seemed very fitting...It was long and thin.
Later I listened to it properly blitzed and it took on the aspect of an epic. I give it 5 stars until the drugs wear off and declare the Who the greatest rockers in the drop zone. Beats Bigger Bang and Modern Times by an endless wire.
