"Face Dances" was the next to last studio album before the twenty-some year hiatus of the The Who and was the last to include John Entwistle. The Who as a 60's/70's band seem to have found themselves lost in the musical turbulance of 1981 with the rise of New Wave and Metal and other changes like the overdue demise of Disco. But listen to this album. It is solid musically and updated in style with enough the old Who to make it recognizable as their work. Perhaps things would have gone better for the band if John Entwistle's "The Quiet One" and "You" had received more air play. "You Better You Bet' is here and is as great as you remember it; as is "Another Tricky Day". If you are a Who fan then this album should be in your collection behind Who's Next, Tommy, and Quadrophenia of course.Read full review
As a longtime Who fan, I still have my vinyl copy of this record, purchased at the time of it's original release. This time period in the Who's history was disparaged a bit. With time and reflection, this record, as well as "It's Hard" can be seen for their own merits. The records represent a great band in transition and represent a picture of Townshend's writing for the Who while releasing his first proper solo records at the same time. All of which were interesting Rock and Roll. Though not the Who's best, Face Dances is a great record.
Love this album, not my favorite who record, but still a great album!!

I was searching for some music my 9-yr-old son might enjoy, and I remembered enjoying this album when I was in college. Apparently, my tastes have changed drastically. The lyrics are definitely NOT for children (or anybody else, in my opinion), and the music is average. This one's going in "the round file".
