A true work of art. I thought I was buying a re-issue of the original. But that's OK, as this is better. Todd Rundgren has, as a rock genius, been known as an egotist.

But on this album and on "Almost Human," he embraces the grace of humility and gratitude for the experience of a "higher power" that is in all of us.

Musing about life on "This Island Earth," Rundgren posits that if "we don't rise, we will fall," one of many vague calls to arms peppered throughout the record.
