Meanwhile, in March 1971, the band began recording the available Lifehouse material with in New York, and then restarted the sessions with in April. Selections from the material, with one unrelated song by Entwistle, were released as a traditional studio album, Who's Next, which became their most successful album among critics and fans, but which terminated the Lifehouse project. Who's Next reached #4 in the USA pop charts and #1 in the UK. Two tracks from the album, "" and "", are cited as pioneering examples of use in rock music; both tracks' keyboard sounds were generated in real time by a Lowrey organ (though in "Won't Get Fooled Again", the organ was processed through a synthesizer). Synthesizers can be found elsewhere on the album, in "", "", and "The Song is Over".
