The Who’s 1982 studio album — polished, powerful rock with strong songwriting from their later era.
The Who – It’s Hard
Format: Vinyl
Label: Warner Bros. Records (US) / Polydor (UK)
Year: 1982
Released in 1982, It’s Hard represents The Who’s final studio album with their classic lineup before their long hiatus. The record blends polished early-80s rock production with Pete Townshend’s thoughtful, mature songwriting and Roger Daltrey’s commanding vocals.
Highlights include “Athena,” “Eminence Front,” and “It’s Hard,” with “Eminence Front” becoming one of the band’s most enduring later-career tracks. The album captures The Who adapting to a new musical era while still showcasing their signature energy and tight musicianship.
Notes: Originally released on Polydor (UK) and Warner Bros. (US); features the iconic chessboard cover artwork.
A solid addition for fans of classic rock, The Who’s later-period catalogue, and collectors completing their vinyl discography.
