Review about Another Tricky Day ------Performed by The Who | 11/02/2006 11:00:00 AM A Great Example Of The Later Who Sound After the death of Keith Moon,the Who seemed to tweak their sound to keep pace in the new wave-dominated early 1980's. With the Face Dances album, Roger,Pete,and John sounded very much at home alongside The Police,the Talikng Heads,and The Cars.Another Tricky Day is the last track on this album.The driving beat,desperation-filled lyrics,and blunt delivery give the song a very blue-collar feel. Of particular interest is Entwhistle's bass track on the bridge,which is repeated in the root chord at the end.The backing keyboard provided atmosphere,while Daltrey and Townshend played the friendly game of one-upsmanship that characterized the group during this time period. While not typical of their overall work,Another Tricky Day is one of the Who's best recordings. Thanks to Toby Lee for submitting the review.
