Other than the INDIVIDUALIST-like rantings of "Jerk" and "The Surf Talks", ONE LONG YEAR, Todd Rundgren's latest, breezes by in far less time. If one is looking for a collection of tunes that should've been '80s-'90s B-sides and outtakes, ONE LONG YEAR should satisfy. "Where Does The Time Go" could've easily lifted 2ND WIND out of the doldrums, and "Buffalo Grass" could've segued into and out of NO WORLD ORDER like most of the other tunes from that disc. That Holy Grail number, though. Whew. Would there have been enough space on A CAPPELLA to fit it in with "Miracle In The Bazaar"?
As a fan, I adore everything Mr. Rundgren puts out, even though the gimmick on ONE LONG YEAR seems to be his on-line subscription service rather than the music. If there were more than one NEARLY HUMAN for every three INDIVIDUALISTs, I would gather Mr. Rundgren, and Patronet (his on-line service), would stand to benefit from a far wider subscription base. As it stands, I prefer the Japanese live discs. As long as they won't ever have any ukelele ditties on them.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoTodd's Back On Earth
In the ninties Todd offered a varied and uneven mix of products. The gimmicky: "live" studio album, SECOND WIND; the aging rocker responding to the unignorable rap trend: NO WORLD ORDER; re-working the hits: WITH A TWIST; mixtures of Motown and the Metaphysical: NEARLY HUMAN; just plain weird: THE INDIVIDUALIST (and there must have been at least one other). Not really much of a decade for "the Kid."
Jump to new century and Todd's back in the studio with a time warp to the late 70's: ONE LONG YEAR. Melodic, playful, honest and certainly minus the self-consciousness of the last century, Todd renews his relationship with love, melody and his guitar.
Not a half-bad CD for an old guy. He's got me interested again.Was this review helpful? Yes - No
