Todd Rundgren's Utopia* – Another Live

I purchased a sealed copy of this "remastered" 1987 DMM reissue for $5, and there is horribly distracting vocal sibilance throughout most of the B-side. I am so glad I didn't sell my 1975 Pitman pressing (BR 6961), which doesn't have the same extreme sibilance issue.

This is a great record. Great songs and an immaculately produced live album.

this one is not credited to Utopia but - on cover and labels - as Todd Rundgren's Utopia

Maybe I need to give them more listens, but after hearing a few albums, I just don't get this band... I enjoy Todd's solo stuff, and I also enjoy all sorts of progressive rock. I don't know how to describe their sound, other than "messy". Todd is a good singer, but I don't think the songs are good haha. I think the pop influence sneaks into the music too often for me. I like my Todd albums freaky and kinda catchy, but Utopia as a whole just feels watered down and somewhat annoying to me. Todd's singing is the biggest draw to me with this band, but that's not what I want in my prog. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the music is bad, but just super average in my estimation. I'd love to hear someone else's view on why they may love this or any other Utopia record!

I love the US art for this album. Has anyone noticed that the Artist and Title are laid out in the form of a number "2"?
