Adventures In Utopia

This is my favorite Utopia album, it's solid and rocking, I absolutely love it and recommend it. A true gem...

I had the original vinyl at one time, and I vaguely recall side 2 as being two records on one side. Depending on which set of grooves you hit, you'd get either one or the other. Seems to me there some songs missing frojm the original release. Am I hallucinating?

The reviewer couldn't have gotten it more wrong. The only memorable songs are the great "Caravan" and "The Road to Utopia." The rest is listenable, but not very prime Rundgren, slightly overwrought and in need of some old-fashioned hooks.

This ranks up with the top 10 records on my list. As a teen this blew me away like Rush signals and the police ghost and the machine, both bands i disliked till those records came out. I say they finally matured on those records.

awesome album and one heck of a concert...

First off, Utopia never made a 100% solid album, probably due the eclectic material from all the members of the band songwriting. Adventures is no exception. This is probably their biggest sounding album, begging to be played in an arena of waiving lighters with anthems like Last Of The New Wave Riders and The Very Last Time. Then they throw in the radio friendly tunes like Set Me Free and You Make Me Crazy which appropriately are on the Anthology collection. There's the Queen-like ballad Love Alone with its multi-layered vocals with keyboard. The album shoots itself in the foot with the too simple disco track Second Nature and it's overdone counterpart Rock Love. Those two tracks are saved by the bold and truly adventurous Caravan which should be a standard radio classic rock track. A hodgepodge of an album, yet Rundgren holds it all together to make it one of Utopia's better albums.

Twice I've written reviews for this album. They were witty and engaging and talked about my formative years. iTunes timed out and I lost them. So let me just say, This is a great album. I loved it.

Utopia is a talented 70/80s AOR (Album Oriented Rock) band led by the genius of Todd Rundgren. My favorite songs are "Set Me Free," "The Very Last Time," and "Last of the New Wave Riders." This is good stuff people! Check out...you won't regret it.

This was the best when the best was the best for Todd and Utopia, if you like Todd rundgren and grew up in the late 70's early 80's buy this!

Excellent Album, we should hope to here more from them in the future
