Sometimes I Don't Know What To Feel.......2007-03-28
This is a far out and trippy album and features what would be the first touring Utopia lineup. This album reminds me sort of prog rock crossed with glam rock in a sort of T-Rex kind of way with a Las Vegas stage show thrown in. Far out and totally Todd, No one has ever recorded an album like this and no one ever will again. Opening with International Feel to the closing Just One Victory, this album is a feast for the senses. I would recommend going out and getting yourself a pair of good headphones for this one. The JVC Japan import comes with all the original inserts that the old lp copies originally came with which is nice to have again although mini ones.
Todd Rundgren's Masterpiece!.......2007-03-07
Dazzling, multi-colored, and multi-layered are perfect ways to describe this *vivid* album (the brilliant cover truly does summarize this album in a nut shell) but, unless you're a bit of a quirky idealist yourself (which I proudly am), it may not make a whole lot of sense to you at first. Personally, I find that I can understand and relate to it better than many albums that I've heard. This album is finely crafted and wildly adventurous, all while having a strikingly strong sense of humanity all throughout. There are essentially two separate albums here (it was a perfect idea to style the title as two separate phrases). The "A Wizard" portion is marked by zany madcap madness, avant-garde experimentalism, and a generally highly animated tone. This portion begins with "International Feel" and ends with "Le Feel Internationale" (which is basically the same song, but it's so good that it's a welcomed treat each time). The "A True Star" portion, which makes up the rest of the album, is full of well-crafted pop and soul numbers that are distinctly marked by Todd's warm and big-hearted, yet sharp and clever approach. This album was kind of disorienting the first time that I listened to it. None of it falls neatly into any particular "type" category (which is one of the main things that I love so much about it), and the first half is mostly made up of seemingly incongruous song fragments with no breaks in between, with Todd seeming to go out of his way to make the transitions from song to song as rough as possible. Thank goodness for Todd's unflinchingly creative thinking, because it would not be nearly as thrilling if he had crafted it any other way. I now feel like this is one of the most brilliant song sequences ever captured on tape. The warm psychedelic soul number "Sometimes I Don't Know What To Feel" that begins the "A True Star" portion is so honest, transparent, and completely devoid of pretense that it remains just as striking and touching each and every time that I listen to it. And he goes from that right into the downright Stevie Wonder/Paul McCartney-esque impeccably crafted, melodic perfection of "Does Anybody Love You?". Todd shows incredible musical and artistic range throughout this entire album (I think he even outdoes Curtis Mayfield's original on his remake of "I'm So Proud" during the Soul medley, and his moving rendition of "Never, Never Land" sounds like a totally original creation), and his quirky sense of humor and general big-heartedness just make the ride that much more rewarding. This is one of the greatest albums that I've ever heard and, I encourage everyone who is curious to pick it up.
Will only ToddHeads be reading these reviews?.......2007-02-26
because WE know, we know and have known the magical artistry of the Man, but will this music be spread to the next generation of ears? Will they get it ? Does it matter? If you have known Todd's music or if you are curious because of maybe seeing him recently with the New Cars, this is one of his best musical expressions. I would say his recent Liars is up there too. This was done before all the studio gimicks that are so over used now and to think he was so ahead of his time...well maybe to the 20 somethings that may not be a big deal... anyway, that all does not really matter, what matters is the musical expression, Todd's quirkey ideas, his lyrics, his melodies, his arrangements, the flow of one song to the next ( do NOT do random shuffle , listen to the songs in order, at least at first) and imagine Todd at his lanky gap toothed copper haired youthful zanyness and appreciate that he has graced our world with his inner ( and yes outer) beauty.
Rundgren's best work.......2007-02-19
This has always been one of my favorite albums. I've owned the vinyl for 20+ years and just bought the CD. I've lent the CD to many of my 20 something co workers and they are just blown away by the production and the color. Sure it has a few rough transitions but when you consider the era when it was done you have to give Todd credit for breaking new ground. The original work is some of his best and his tributes to R&B and broadway are excellent. This Album deserves a good listen by anyone who likes music of any form.
