The Who by Numbers is the seventh album by the English rock band The Who, originally released in October 1975. The album peaked at the number 7 position on the UK album chart and number 8 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States. The Rolling Stone review of The Who by Numbers stated: "They may have made their greatest album in the face of their personal problems. But only time will tell".

“allmusic.com says:
The Who by Numbers functions as Pete Townshend's confessional singer/songwriter album, as he chronicles his problems with alcohol ("However Much I Booze"), women ("Dreaming From the Waist" and "They Are All in Love"), and life in general. However, his introspective musings are rendered ineffective by Roger Daltrey's bluster and the cloying, lightweight filler of "Squeeze Box." In addition, Townshend's songs tend to be underdeveloped, relying on verbosity instead of melodicism, with only the simple power of "Slip Kid," the grace of "Blue Red and Grey," and John Entwistle's heavy rocker "Success Story" making much of an impact. The 1996 CD reissue adds three live tracks from a 1976 concert.”
