Who’s Next started life as a Pete Townshend concept entitled Lifehouse, which contained enough songs for a double album, but the project was eventually reduced to a single LP. Recordings for the album began in New York with Kit Lambert as producer, but the band weren’t satisfied with the results and returned to London to re-record them at Olympic Studios in Barnes with Glyn Johns.

Following his departure from the Sex Pistols in January 1978, Lydon sought a more experimental "anti-rock" project and formed PiL. That year PiL released their debut First Issue (1978), creating an abrasive, bass-heavy sound that drew on dub, noise, progressive rock and disco.

Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album, Sehnsucht, with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, Liebe Ist is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********," or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club.

For the 20th anniversary of In Utero, the album’s producer Steve Albini revisited the original multi-track tapes and created a new stereo mix using modern equipment and 20 years of additional experience to provide fans with a new and updated album experience.
