5.0 out of 5 stars Utopia's blast from the past!, September 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Deface the Music (Audio CD)
Todd Rundgren and Utopia's 1980 release is an album written and recorded in the style of The Beatles circa 1964-1967. Instead of re-recording songs by The Beatles (which, as the ensuing years have shown, provided us with countless insipid "tribute" albums to a vast array of artists), Utopia brilliantly recreates the songwriting style and recording production of the four lads from Liverpool. Utopia, while doing this album as a lark, winds up creating one of their most rewarding albums in their rich catalog. From the 1964-sounding "I just want to touch you" to the psychedelic masterpiece "Everybody else is wrong," Utopia delights the listener with their impressive knowledge of all things fab! "Take it home," "All smiles," and "Feel too good" are also highlights on this magnificent album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lost Beatles Tapes, July 5, 2000
By 
Peter A. Greene (Franklin, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Deface the Music (Audio CD)
It's as if one or two cuts from each Beatles album had been found in a studio closet. This is imitation of the highest order-- there's no doubt who's being imitated here, yet each of these songs stands very nicely on its own merits, with nifty pop hooks galore. "Chronologically" arranged as well, so you can hear the developing sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can everyone just lighten up?, May 14, 2001
By 
Dr. Figby (Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deface the Music (Audio CD)
A terrific Beatles send-up that still manages to be an entertain listen on its own. Todd lovingly recreates the signature sound from different periods and adds funny, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Making fun of the Beatles? Grow up! No one goes to this much trouble without having studied and loved the original records. But hey, irony isn't for everyone.
