Fusing together honest and memorable songwriting with aīrazen intensity, this dynamic band has managed to create an anthemic sound thatīillboard Magazine called Numa's single "Like a Bruise" a "Fantastic rock song Solidified their reputation as one of the premiere unsigned live acts in the Formed in late 2005, this explosive quartet has quickly So I guess for me, Join Together gets the nod.Numa delivers blazing rock 'n roll with a groove that's been absent from I almost never listen to Who's Last or disc one of Join Together, but disc two of JT makes a fun listen from time-to-time. Less than half of it is Moon-era stuff, which means I don't have to remember superior Keith versions when listening. On the plus side, disc two of Join Together is a creative mix of songs we don't usually hear from the band. His drum parts are essential to the songs. Listening to The Who perform Tommy (particularly a complete performance of the whole thing) with anyone besides Keith is frustrating to me. Beyond that, there's no creativity in the extremely safe and predictable song list chosen, and the mix makes the band sound puny. Unfortunately, Who's Last doesn't seem to capture any good nights. On a good night (usually in 1979) the Who with Jones could be fantastic. The much-maligned Kenney was not a good fit for The Who, but he was a better fit than the bland efficiency of Simon Phillips. No great claims either way on the 3 song sampler. I think perhaps those might be three of the better ones from the 2 LP set. When Can't Explain opens, I feel like I'm hearing a better sound quality version of Clash City Rockers. He bashes away at the chords and plays a few short solos and brief riffs. There's a brief solo he takes at the end of MG that really reminded me of that. His tone reminded me of a slightly toned-down Slip Kid sound. Love the sound of Pete's guitar and like his playing. Roger's vocals sound 'ok' and 'clear' but not particularly 'strong' or 'robust'. The drums 'sound' on the weak or mediocre side, though the playing is on time and active, they are also mixed a bit back imo. The bass guitar 'sounds pretty good' to me but is too far back in the mix imo. The tempos are moving forward at a decent to brisk clip. ML-1 etched and TML-X stamped both sides. Fwiw I just listened to the much sought-after and highly collectibe rare species 12" WLP of 3 songs from Who's Last.
