Reminiscant of the review title with hard rock from his earlier NAZZ days. His music is like a pile driver at times and a smooth glass without ever hitting each other flowing in and out of style. Todd has been a shaper and a sullen force for music in the last few decades. All I can say is listen to it. He enjoys life and you can feel it in his music. This album of music is one of the finer ones of his careers. You will start moving with the beat as you grab something to use as a drum. A runt he is not.
At first I thought there might be a few songs on this that I didn't care for much. This and "Liars" are my best two TR albums so far. I love the vocals, drums, and guitars.
"Gun" is one of the first songs that hooked me, and later "Courage", "Weakness", and now "Today". Soon after I got this CD and have been playing TR CDs most of the time ever since, rather than XM radio. Well, the songs I didn't care for grew on me after a while, and often times those are the songs I enjoy longer and/or more than other songs.
In this day and age it doesn't seem like good music like this is released all that often any more, or if it is, I don't seem to get to hear it.I first heard cuts from this on XM Radio about 6 weeks ago. I just LOVE "Today". It's all a great album, at least to me.
It's been years since I enjoyed an album this much. I got a few of his older 70s albums too and while I think they are real good, I'm more into these newer albums.To each his own but I'd give this album as many stars as I possibly could, and to me, they are well deserved stars.
DVD legacy took my money never sent cd. I will never order anything from AMAZON again as they don't stand behind their vendors and have been NO HELP in obtaining me a refund
I have followed Todd's music from Nazz to his solo work in the early 70s and wondered what this disc was going to be like. Not mush mellow and reflective here, but I recommend Arena for it's rock strength and breadth of subject to all those who think their good years are behind them. As a treat I decided to see him live first where he played about every track on his Arena CD. An awesome experience, and to know he still has things to say and has all his musical chops is a tribute to his longevity as a musical icon. For Todd they are still out ahead. Buy it, and turn it up.
How do they stay in business and why does Amazon tolerate such shoddy customer service. The seller has never responded to my email. I have never received my order and don't know if or when I will. Next time, I probably should order from Best Buy. Hard to review something I never received although they were quick to bill my credit card. Judging from the reviews of this seller, I definately would not order from this company again. Do I have to give one star. Buyer beware with this company.
