From a prog standpoint, this is one of Todd Rundgren's best albums. In fact, if you don't count the albums recorded under the "Utopia" band name, this is his most progressive. The least progressive track on the album is Real Man. And while it has many aspects of Todd's pop songs, it has a sophistication that should make it a pleasing listen for a prog fan. Born To Synthesize, performed with heavily treated vocal tracks, is a great intro to The Death Of Rock And Roll a great hard rock song, with a few cool twists.
Eastern Intrigue is a humorous, but well played song about the abundance of spiritual solutions in the world. Initiation follows. It's an energetic prog piece that comes close to the elaborate songs on the first Utopia album. And Fair Warning, is a beautiful, soul inspired song, that brings the first LP side to a strong conclusion. The second side of the LP is a masterpiece. Performed entirely by Todd, this 36 minute work of wonder is simply amazing, not only because it somehow was made to fit on a side of vinyl, but in the fantastic guitar and keyboard work throughout. There is nothing I can compare this with. ~Progarchives
