About the new album, Daltrey said, "I think we made our best album since Quadrophenia in 1973, Pete has not lost his track, he's still a fabulous songwriter and he's always that sharp."
Townshend added, "This album contains almost all the new songs written last year, with two exceptions. There is no theme, no concept, no story, just a set of songs that I (and my brother Simon) have written to give Roger Daltrey an inspiration, challenges and a reach for his singing voice recently revived.
"Roger and I are now older men, no matter what. So I tried to stay away from romance, but also from nostalgia if I could. I did not want to put anyone bad at ease. The memories are good, and some songs refer to the explosive state of things today.
"I have made new home studio demos of all these songs in the summer of 2018 using an extensive collection of old and new instruments. We started recording as The Who in March 2019 and we finished at the end of August, just in time to make vinyl … maybe even cassettes … ready to air in November. " .
