How on earth would he and the Who top such a successful and important album? The guitarist-songwriter felt he had to take his music and its conceptual strains one step further. He began writing a futuristic fable that would transcend itself beyond the usual conventions of modern music. Intended to be a film, a play, a concert, a mega multimedia and cerebral experience — Townshend called his new project\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLifehouse.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eAnd although\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLifehouse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewould stay frozen on the blocks for another 30 years, its seeds sprouted the Who's most cohesive and consistent effort,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eWho's Next.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow Townshend's ambitious follow-up ended up as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eWho's Next\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eisn't easy to discern. After several false starts and a break with Who manager\/mentor, Kit Lambert, the record was eventually rescued and shaped by producer\/engineer, Glyn Johns. Much of Townshend's vision was contained within his extensive demos — bits and pieces of a loosely constructed storyline set against experimental melodies and basic backbeats. The album's opening track, \"Baba O'Riley,\" was originally an elongated cycle of synthesizer loops. What it became was an anthem, highlighted by a tumultuous build, Dave Arbus' rambling violin and Roger Daltrey's acclamation of a \"Teenage Wasteland.\" The thunder is sustained by the contagious \"Bargain\" — now, like so much of the Who's music, a commercial jingle. \"Love Ain't for Keeping\" chugs away against a fierce acoustic rhythm while John Entwistle's sole contribution of \"My Wife\" remains one of his most electrifying songs. \"This Song Is Over\" features Nicky Hopkins' incomparable piano work and ends with a chorus pulled from \"Pure and Easy,\" the central number of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLifehouse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethat failed to make the final cut, but would resurface three years later on the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOdds And Sods\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecompilation.
