Review: The Who releases infectious ‘All This Music Must Fade’ song (Includes first-hand account)

Although the song may be a bit confrontational, it is solid and vivacious. It is a track on their forthcoming studio album WHO, which will be released on December 6, 2019.

The acclaimed rockers debuted “All This Music Must Fade” on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show on October 2, and it is the opening track on their highly-anticipated upcoming CD, which is their first musical effort in 13 years.

Veteran songwriter Pete Townshend described All This Music Must Fade” as a tune that is dedicated to every artist that has ever been accused of ripping off something else’s music. “Our musical palette is limited enough in the 21st century without some dork claiming to have invented a common chord scheme,” Townshend said in a press statement.

The Verdict

If this song is any indication of how their album WHO is going to sound like, then their fans and listeners are in for real musical experience. “All This Music Must Fade” garners an A rating.
