3.0 out of 5 stars No way is this the best Todd album! 20 Jan 2008
Format:Audio CD
I'm sorry, but i have to write a counter-review. The first solo album has some good moments, to be sure. But it simply cannot possibly be considered as being Todd's crowning achievement. Absolutely no way on Earth. There are few, if any, truly exceptional songs. It should only be looked upon as being a formative work, after his period with The Nazz, upon which "Our Hero" would build. The "great" albums are those which come immediately after this one. "Runt" is only for the hard-core fans, who must have all the albums. You have been warned!

5.0 out of 5 stars Todd's actual greatest album 13 Mar 2000
Format:Audio CD
So much guff seems to be bandied around about all the Todd early albums but basically here's the one you want. None of the studio tomfoolery that makes Something/Anything such a chore to listen to (keep that CD remote handy) and none of the misguided psychedelic instumentals that A Wizard A True Star overpowers you with. It's just a beautiful record. Much more piano than it's predecessor 'Runt' but don't let that put you off, it's not Elton John. This is not to say that those other albums are not great too, but the thing with Todd is, he's one of those people who makes you want to wonder off and do compilation tapes of all those 2 or 3 good tracks per album. Stop on this one and you'll just put one track after another. Please buy it, it's the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars We Gotta Get You This Album 13 April 2001
By Steven Clem Haley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is the ulitmate album for sitting around on the couch on a Sunday afternoon. A rarity as far as late introductees to Toddster, but anyone 40 and older will remember fondly "We Gotta Get You A Woman". I remember scouring every used record store in the South trying to find this after it was out of print by the time I discovered Todd circa 1974. Thankfully I finally found an original (you know, the one WITH the nose on the Bear's face).

Fun music to remember your first crush.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a hidden jewel 21 Jun 2000
By Rod L. Hale - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is my personal favorite of Runtgren's many discs. As most fans of Todd Runtgren's music know, RUNT is one of his best recordings ever. For those curious and unfamiliar with the body of Runtgren's work, this disk is an excellent choice for first Runtgren disk to add to your collection. Recorded early in TR's career, many of the songs are witty and intelligent, covering a wide musical spectrum of the early seventies psudo-pop. A large variety of musical styles show up in these recordings, thus revealing a master musician striving to find his comfortable place in the fickle world of rock and roll. Nearly all of the tunes on this disk rock hard from beginning to end. This disk includes the big AM radio hit WE'VE GOT TO GET YOU A WOMAN. The other songs on the CD range widely in style. Some could be defined as catchy without being formula pop, yet all tracks also remain strong and inviting. Some tracks (like I'M IN THE CLIQUE) show his legendary sense of humor as well. One of the best selling points of this disc is how well most of the songs have survived the test of time. Many rock stars have come and gone since this recording was released, but Todd Runtgren aptly demonstrates with this disc why he is one of the few surviving purveyors of alternative rock still around.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great nostalgia from a simpler era 17 Jan 2007
By Rollie Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Todd was finally free of the restrictions he felt he needed to escape in the vastly underrated NAZZ and proceeded to make an album that is completely unfettered with labels. He touched nearly every base and style and unleashed his clever wit. I won't go into specifics but this is a real gem of a cd with the outstanding "Baby, Let's Swing" medley being my favorite. It's not slick and over-produced at all, just some excellent songs from a unique talent. In today's world this album would have never seen the light of day but back in those heady days anything was possible and Mr. Rundgren proved it with this collection of songs.
