I, too, yearn for new Todd Rundgren music, and yet this album is not nearly as hackneyed as you might think. Some of Todd's "third rate" former rockers are...good, and his songs are so wonderful that I never get tired of hearing them re-interpreted. (These sound like all-new arrangements to me, not old vocal tracks with new bands. Listen.) When it comes to romantic pop craftsmanship, beautiful lyrics and passionate singing, Todd is tops. I think his songwriting alone ranks with Cole Porter, and he stands the test of time very well...
