Search - Todd Rundgren :: With a Little Help From My Friends

Not much difference indeed

"This seems to be where Todd gave his vocal tracks to various other artists who then supplied the instrumentation. So the vocals are exactly the same, and the music, in most cases, has little added imagination. It's sounds a bit better on the second listen, but it's not really worth owning if you already have most of his other albums. I would have liked more of a remix album (along the lines of Patrick O'Hearn's Mixup, for example). It was especially sad on the song from "A Capella", which was done with all voice and no instruments. What's the point of then going back and adding piano or guitar?"

Garbage

"as i said on the tr rocks interview, here it is again. someone made a very bad or desperate deal where these budget combo things keep popping up again and again, different country, different name, same basement 80s metal treatment of his stuff..its sad to see such reverb laden riffage ruin such great tunes....this is not a todd rundgren album, its a mistake that he agreed to that keeps coming back to rip someone new off who doesnt know better..stay far far away from any of these projects"
