Summary: Todd's multifaceted talent shines
Comment: I pulled this CD out after not listening to it in a while...and could really appreciate on a different level his skill and talent...playing all instruments, singing all the layered gorgeous harmonies...
As some other reviewers have commented, I agree that this is a very melancholy album. Melodic, powerful, and deeply emotional. I had set this aside for so long because when first with the vinyl album, I would play the thing to death, teary eyed in the throes of whatever twenty something angst I was going through. Very real painful time in my life and this album was something that helped me...singing along was healing and crying along was healing.
So, this huge piece of TR's heart and soul can be appreciated on so many levels. You can gaze at Todd's gorgeous blueish photo, sing along with all the songs, play it through your ipod and listen to all the parts, laughingly share Onomatopoeia with some kids, or cry in your Pinot...it's all there. Amazing and pretty much timeless.

Summary: What Can I Say? A Classic Album!
Comment: I guess this isn't an actual review of this excellent CD, more like a commentary. All the other reviews pretty much sum it up (except for one whose author wastes my time just trying to come up with alternate names for the title). Anyway, this CD has a special place in my heart as I owned the vinyl LP years ago and listened to it constantly when I was going through a tough breakup. I've never found a better "breakup" album. It was like a good friend, holding my hand and saying to me "I understand". All these years later, I still love this CD- every song on it is good, and each one unique. Definently my favorite Todd offering.

Summary: A bell in your head will ring
Comment: This is one of my favorite Todd albums. Classic pop the way only Todd can do it. I've loved this album since way back when and many of the tunes have actually gotten better over time. Starting off with the classic All The Children Sing with it's upbeat melody and funny/cool lyrics which gives way to Todd's last "hit" Can We Still Be Friends. Hurting For You sounds rather like a radio staple but in a good way. Too Far Gone and Determination round out the first half in a big way. Bread starts off side two rocking big time. Bag Lady is a little weak although the "message" is important. You Cried Wolf and Out Of Control rock hard again. Lucky Guy and Fade Away are two of Todd's best ballads. The song listing on the original back album cover was the way Todd wanted the album released but the then label Bearsville had different ideas and with Todd's permission rearranged the playing order with Side One as the Easy Side(for radio play) and Side B as the Difficult Side. If you have the money, go for the Japan import.

Summary: Pop doesn't get better than this
Comment: If I could own only one of Todd's solo works (wouldn't that be tragic) this would be it. This breathtaking album highlights what Todd does best... sing and write great songs. He is my favorite vocalist because you can empathize with him and his passion, depth, and tone are out of this world. You can feel his sorrow when he sings a ballad, laugh during an eccentric number, or sing along on a pop or rock tune. He has a knack to draw you into and be part of the music.
On this release, Todd did all the vocals, instruments, production, and arranging. Usually something suffers when one individual tries to do it all but that's not the case here. A little over 35 minutes long, this disc has twelve catchy songs and zero filler. It's hard to believe this was recorded in 1978, but killer music has no expiration date and this still blows away most modern pop/rock groups. If you have never heard Todd, this would be a good choice to start your journey with one of America's most talented artists.

Summary: Classic Rundgren
Comment: Often innovative and acknowledged for pushing musical boundries Hermit of Mink Hollow showcases his music at its most accessible. It is also probably Rundgren's most commercially successful album. The haunting "Can We Still Be Friends?" and the optimistic emotionally powerful "All the Children Sing" are Rundgren classics. There is a cool quirkiness to "Onomatopoeia" and Rundgren tugs at the heart strings with "Hurting for You" and "Determination". A must for any music collection.
