The Who - Face Dances

The Who’s Face Dances from 1981 is a more polished, reflective record than the band’s classic 1970s work, but there is still plenty to enjoy. “You Better You Bet” is the obvious standout, while “Don’t Let Go the Coat” and “Another Tricky Day” show Pete Townshend writing in a slightly more mature, inward-looking way. Kenney Jones had also settled into the drum seat by this point. A solid later-period Who album, and one that tends to grow on you with repeat listens.
