It's Hard is the tenth studio album by the English rock band The Who, the
second to be released after the death of drummer Keith Moon and also the
last of bassist John Entwistle. It was released in 1982 on Polydor in the UK,
peaking at number 11, and released on Warner Bros. in the US where it
peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts. Their eleventh studio
album, Endless Wire, wasn't released for another 24 years. The US rights to
both this album and Face Dances would later revert to MCA Records.

There are two schools of thought with consideration to It's Hard. Some view
it as an album inspired by the tense political climate of the early 1980s, as
Pete Townshend did. Others see it merely as The Who fulfilling the contract
to their American record label, as Roger Daltrey thought. The split in opinion
is evident in reviews of the time - praised by some critics and panned by
many others. Most notably, the album received a five-star review in Rolling
Stone.

The first track, "Athena," is one of the few songs that was well received on
It's Hard. The demo version was called "Theresa," named after actress
Theresa Russell, but was then disguised. "Athena" peaked at number 28 on
the Billboard Pop Singles charts.

In the years since its release, "Eminence Front" has become one of the
most[citation needed] critically acclaimed songs from the band's catalogue.

The album cover, designed by Graham Hughes, depicts a young boy playing
the Space Duel arcade game. It is a reference to Tommy, with the pinball
table that the main character played updated to the times. It was not popular
with Townshend, who criticized it shortly after the album's release because of
the lack of the band's input.
