The Who by Numbers is the seventh album by the English rock band The Who, released on 3 October 1975, in the United Kingdom through Polydor Records and on 25 October 1975, in the United States by MCA Records. It was named the tenth best album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll.
Without the massive structure and ambition of the band's better known works Tommy and Quadrophenia, Pete Townshend's songwriting stands on its own in the sparse and dark The Who by Numbers. Gone are the synthesizers and the massive layers of overdubs. In their places are descriptions of Townshend's alcoholism, lust, and self-loathing, as well as the dark side of creeping middle-age and the fear of irrelevance. On "They Are All In Love," Townshend laments: "Hey goodbye all you punks, stay young and stay high / Hand me my checkbook while I crawl off to die." These themes extend from the hopeless refrain of "However Much I Booze" (sung by Townshend, as Daltrey thought it too personal to sing), "There ain't no way out", to the disillusioned question, "How many friends have I really got?"
A few tracks stand in contrast, including the playfulness of the top ten hit "Squeeze Box" and "Blue, Red and Grey's" claim that "I like every minute of the day." But John Entwistle's contribution, "Success Story", returns to display nearly as despairing and cynical a view of stardom as the rest of the record. "In a Hand or a Face" revisits both lyrical and musical themes of Who songs dating back to the previous decade and offers an unexpectedly fiery ending to the album.
In an interview 30 Years of Maximum R&B, from Pete Townshend declared "Dreaming from the Waist" and "Sister Disco" (from Who Are You) as his least favourite songs to play on stage.
The cover was drawn by John Entwistle as he was drawing a cartoon history of The Who. The Who by Numbers peaked at the number 7 position on the UK album chart and number 8 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States.
All songs written by Pete Townshend unless stated otherwise.
