4.0 out of 5 stars Daltrey Amidst A Slick Backing: Not bad at all, November 13, 2006

This is from '92, and it shows on the production. The drums are very tight and flawless, the guitar is crisp and on-point and there is nothing sloppy in this albums execution. The music is presented in a way that's almost too perfect and they're quite obviously the work of trusty studio men. Roger's vocals, however, are spot-on fantastic. The man has got a tenacity in his throat that shines whenever his rock & roll roar comes out. The combination between the early 90s rock sheen and Daltrey's timeless voice comes out quite well, though. It's certainly better than I expected. A few less-amphetamined numbers can slow down the momentum, but great material abounds on the CD.

Hightlighs include: "Times Changed," "Who's Gonna Walk on Water," "Perfect World" and "Before My Time is Up."

I'd suggest that if you like The Who and don't mind slick-overproduction, you should grab this great album immediately; you won't regret it at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than His Work With the Who!!, June 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rocks in the Head (Audio CD)

This is Roger's finest album, a showcase for the melding of Who vocals and LA Hair-Band rock stylings. Whoever thought this up is a genius!! Imagine Appetite for Destruction, but with Roger's vocals. Pure gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daltrey - Rock Dinosaur God, February 26, 2002

I discovered this little known gem of an album while driving across the continental USA. Buying it on tape dollars and expecting little from my outlay I was stunned as I listened to an album of rare beauty and inventiveness - perhaps the best I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.
From the first song, "Walk on water" (where Daltrey invites the listener to join him and Jesus on the lake of his Tunbridge Wells trout farm), to the last, "Unforgettable Opera", Daltrey takes us on a magnificent journey through his rock filled brain!

Pete Townshend eat your heart out!
