Psychoderelict [Music Only] (1993)

In 1993, Pete Townshend issued his fourth true studio solo album for Atco (not counting a live album, a couple of demo collections, and a collaboration with Ronnie Lane), entitled Psychoderelict. Perhaps best known for his conceptually based works (the Who's Tommy, Quadrophenia, etc.), Townshend did indeed thread a storyline throughout the album, which appeared to be the tale of an aging rock star.

In 1993, Pete Townshend issued his fourth true studio solo album for Atco (not counting a live album, a couple of demo collections, and a collaboration with Ronnie Lane), entitled Psychoderelict. Perhaps best known for his conceptually based works (the Who's Tommy, Quadrophenia, etc.), Townshend did indeed thread a storyline throughout the album, which appeared to be the tale of an aging rock star. But unlike his previous concept albums, Psychoderelict was bogged down with pointless, irritating dialogue between many of the songs, killing the album's flow. In a smart move, Atlantic issued two versions of Psychoderelict simultaneously, a regular version with all the dialogue, and a "music only" version that cut out all the talking and focused on the tunes (even though many assumed it would be instrumental, the "music only" version did contain vocals). Psychoderelict [Music Only] is by far the better of the two, including Townshend's hardest-rocking songs since his 1980 solo album, Empty Glass, such as "English Boy" and "Let's Get Pretentious." Three instrumental tracks incorporate the synth loop from the Who's "Baba O'Riley," the best being "Meher Baba M4" (although strangely, the synths sound remarkably similar to the Who's 1978 hit "Who Are You"). ~ Greg Prato, Rovi Read Less
