classic,

This review is from: White City - a Novel (Audio CD)
when i first bought this cd, i thought it was a bit silly. the concepts are pretty vauge... but then, after really listening, and just oggling the lyrics...it got to me. today, it's one of my favorite cds. the lyrics are so poignant and beautiful, and actually mesh with the music. give it a couple listens, it's worth it.

Not really a Who fan, but...,
By A Customer
This review is from: White City - a Novel (Audio CD)
I am really not a fan of The Who or of Pete Townshend. I have great respect for what they have contributed, but musically it's not my cup of tea.That being said, I have always really liked White City for its songs, excellent production quality, and especially the great musicianship. Simon Phillips drives each song with the expertise he developed working as a session drummer for many notable artists. The production quality holds up very, very well - even nineteen years after its release. Few albums in 1985 were recorded to sound so lively and natural - unfortunately. Fans of fretless bass will be richly rewarded for listening carefully to the great Pino Palladino's mastery of that craft. David Gilmour contributes some writing and playing, as Pete had for Gilmour's About Face release. This is a very listenable record overall, with great continuity, and the first track alone is worth the price. Another favorite track is the richly layered White City Fighting. Secondhand Love is an early combination of live drums and sequenced electronics that is inarguably ahead of its time. I just revisited this CD for the first time in years, and I was reminded just how great a collection of songs this is.

This review is from: White City - a Novel (Audio CD)
It is rare to find a CD that is flawless, start to finish, but this is one. An impeccable masterpiece you will never tire of. When 'White City' was first released, I made a tape of it for the car, and backed it up with 'The Yes Album' ... what an inspired combination that turned out to be ... that tape stayed in my player for months. Literally. The music ranges from sassy to heart-breakingly beautiful. So stop worrying so much and buy it today.
