That for ME is kind of the point..
This album is the WHOs very soul, the mod scene from where they're whole anger / rebellion is derived.
Go back and read the lengthy liner notes

( if you have the actual vinyl ) of Petes drunken dingy ride out to the ROCK, and his self diagnosis as not a schizophrenic but a "bleedin Quadropheniac".
Not an accident that each band member has his own personal theme identified theirin.
A lot of people who only listen to the "pop" hits ie: 5:15, Real Me, have only seen the flashy cover of what is a brilliant novel.
All that ROT said, the band f-ing rocked and WHO'S NEXT is the best SINGLE album ever produced.
