I love this album. The imaginative songwriting and thoughtful lyrics make it realy worthwhile. However, for those of you who were thrown by the 1 out of 5 star review, notice that none of the other, extreemly positive, reviews are from MN. In fact i heard from them when i was in Oxford, OH where the band started. They were also on the "Orange County" soundtrack, the one with Jack Black. Whatever, if you like punk/electronic/rock this is a great choice.

This CD is fantastic. I've had it for about a year and a half and I still can't believe it never took off. I really believe it may be one of the best albums ever recorded. Certainly it's one of the best that went undiscovered.

While I appreciated, but never loved his solo work, Todd Rundgren's production here is genius. This is pure pop - a beautiful mix of early Weezer, XTC, Thomas Dolby and Prefab Sprout. Check out Kaboom, Radioaction, Marionette, You Gotta Go, Everybody and Repeat. The production and mixing are flawless.

Found the album by accident and listen to it continously since the first day. "Radioaction" and "Everybody" come with overwhelming harmonies, "Kaboom" sounds like four songs in one and "Glad that It's Over" is simply wrong - how could they put this title at the end of the album? Though I didn't actually love Todd's own efforts, this time he did it again. 12 rods is a perfect combination of the musical creativity of "Prefab Sprout" and the genius of tr-i. Buy it.
