Oh absolutely. I own it. Reading a review on Allmusic, I came across this:

Quote:
The tale and the songs are a bit downbeat and no amount of scrutiny can disguise the fact that the rock opera S.F. Sorrow is ultimately a bit of a confusing effort -- these boys were musicians, not authors or dramatists. Although it may have helped inspire Tommy, it is, simply, not nearly as good.
That's just the way it is. It's what distinguishes Tommy from American Idiot.
