It sounds like the classic-rock version of the old Abbott and Costello routine:
‘Did you hear The Who are releasing a new album?’
‘Cool! What’s it called?’
‘Who.’
‘What?’
‘No, Who.’
‘I know it’s The Who. But what’s the album called?’
‘Just Who.‘
‘Just Who?’
‘No, not Just Who. Just Who.’
‘What?’
And so on. It’s so ridiculous that you almost have to assume that Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are deliberately fucking with us. So let me make it crystal clear: The Who will release their first album in 13 years on Nov. 22. The title of the album is Who. Not The Who. Just Who. Thankfully, the bluesy first single Ball & Chain is far less confusing. Check it out below. As usual, it was one of roughly a kajillion new albums announced in the past day or so. Scroll down (or hit the Upcoming Releases page) to scope out all the new additions, including titles from Ringo Starr, Jeff Goldblum, Myles Goodwin, Halsey and Canadian indie supergroup Anyway Gang, featuring Sam Roberts and members of Sloan, Hollerado and Tokyo Police Club. Talk about a who’s who.
