Liars by Todd Rundgren

Pros: Five or six excellent songs...
Cons: A few bad tracks, too many synthesizers, some lack of direction...

With well over three decades of music recordings under his belt, Todd Rundgren continues to make quirky pop songs. His dozens of albums and hundreds of songs touch on an incredible breadth of topics and sounds, so the release of this year’s Liars ...

Pros: An astonishing (and unexpected) return to form.
Cons: The album is too long. 'Mammon' and 'Liar' could have been left off.

'Liars' is Todd's first brand new album for a decade, and is his first album for a very long time that benefits from a proper distribution deal in the UK, with the result that the album is readily available in shops. The album is sort of a concept ...

Pros: Best New TR Album in 20 Years
Cons: Album Challenges Listener

Truth be told, Todd Rundgren is back… with an extraordinary new album! “Liars” is Rundgren’s first album release of all new material in a decade…and it is his most brilliant work in 20 years. With “Liars” as the central theme Rundgren dives headfirst ...

Pros: The unique diversity is refreshing, production ear opening as the delivery inspired.
Cons: The CD is far reaching and challenging, but there's so much material to work fro!

As soon as the laser reads the spinning compact disc you know that this isn’t your fathers’ Todd Rundgren… or is it? Truth be told: “Liars”, with all of the advanced production, is another challenging combination of ideal and rhythm and, well, truth! ...

Pros: Intelligent lyrics, beautiful vocal harmonies
Cons: The "Flaw" may not be suitable for young bunny ears.

“Sing and shout it, tell the world about it…..” Liars is amazing! It’s an honest-to-goodness old fashioned concept album, exploring the “paucity of truth” in our lives, as the liner notes explain. The cover of Todd in Easter Bunny ...

Pros: It has a cute picture on the insert, looks like the Easter Bunny on drugs.
Cons: Another of my heroes has bit the dust..

I have been a TR fan for a long time. From Nazz, Runt,Wizard, thru With A Twist, Individualist, No World Order and thru his work with the Tubes and Meatloaf and others. I have enjoyed his music and his views of the world and our human foibles. But this ...

Pros: Todd's vocals are second to none, and despite his increasing age, are still emotion-filled.
Cons: As a fan of his guitar playing, I was disappointed by the lack of guitar.

The ever-faithful fans of Todd Rundgren have been waiting nearly a decade for a CD release of all-new songs, the most recent studio CD being the 2000-released ‘One Long Year’, a compendium of songs penned over the previous years as well as a couple of ...

Pros: Beautiful vocals, meaningful lyrics.
Cons: Look deep into the lyrics to understand "Liars" and make the message your own.

"Liars" Todd Rundgren US release date 4-06-2004 Sanctuary Records. Todd Rundgren is back and this ...

Pros: Good honest and thought provoking
Cons: N/A

After close to 30 years in the music industry, and after leaving his fans scratching their heads in confusion at his meanderings on such “masterpieces as 1993s No world order or the reworking of some of his best stuff on the 1997 offering “with a twist” ...

Pros: Todd's Best CD since Nearly Human over 10 years ago!
Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!

Rock's Wizard A True Star Todd Rundgren makes his Sanctuary debut with his Best work since his earth shattering early Bearsville albums. This collection recorded mostly by himself just like Something Anything and Hermit of Mink Hollow is a perfect mix of techno, pop, soul, r and b, and hard rockers. Opening with the rousing Truth and climaxing with a sublime reading of Post 911's Liar, the entire set is at once fiery and also at times deftly subdued. The centerpieces are Sweet an epic homage to the truth being sweet, and Mammon, a stormy meditation on worshiping money in a God-like way. Did you have to rub our face in it? Todd Roars! Almost in a way as if he was shouting at Bin Laden himself! But more sedate tracks like Stood Up, Past, and The Wondering should not be ignored by radio programmers. Liars is destined for many year-end Top 10 Lists!
