I read where Daltrey said the entire album was forgettable except “Eminence Front.” I liked Athena, thought it had decent lyrics.

Pete's solo albums from that era were much better.

Kenney Jones was in an impossible position. No one could replace or "substitute" for Keith Moon.

Athena was the bomb, if you will. Catchy but not too much so, as to have had mass appeal, which itself is a strong indicator of some substance. Fun fact- the diddy was abt Townsend's very brief dalliance w actress Theresa Russell.. who subsequently thwarted his advances. I suppose this lead to his preferring little boys. Or passionate research into same as he would have it.
