A Quick One

The Who released this album in 1966, just when they started to change their way of making music. Before, their songs were more direct, more like what they did on their first album. But on this one, each of the boys wrote at least two songs, which made the style a bit more diversified. Pete Townshend didn't dominate the album as before, and Roger Daltrey only contributed one song.

About the album

A Quick One, according to DoReSol

The most striking thing is a nine-minute song, A Quick One, While He’s Away, which sounds more like an opera than a normal song. It talks about a story of infidelity and reconciliation, and it's the first time The Who tried something like this. The idea of making a concept album became clearer later, in Tommy and Quadrophenia, but here we already feel the first step.
