Something/Anything? is a landmark double album released in 1972, showcasing Todd Rundgrens extraordinary versatility as a songwriter, musician, and producer. The first three sides of the record were performed almost entirely by Rundgren alone, blending pop, rock, soul, psychedelia, and avant-pop into a rich and varied tapestry of sound. The final side shifts to a live-in-the-studio band setting, adding yet another dimension to the albums scope. Its a bold, ambitious work that highlights Rundgrens mastery of melody and production, widely regarded as one of his finest achievements.
From the chart success of I Saw the Light to the enduring appeal of Hello Its Me, the album brims with instantly memorable songs while also venturing into experimental territory. Something/Anything? has stood the test of time as both a commercial and critical triumph, often cited as one of the most accomplished pop records of the 1970s. Its blend of accessibility and innovation ensures its place as a touchstone for generations of listeners and artists alike.
Reviews
Listening to Something/Anything? is a mind-altering trip in itself, no matter how many instantly memorable, shamelessly accessible pop songs are scattered throughout the album. AllMusic
The many good songs span styles and subjects in a virtuoso display… And the many ordinary ones are saved by Todds confidence and verve. Village Voice
Rolling Stone found the songs perfectly composed while deeming the record Rundgrens best-selling, most-enduring work born of desperation, one that demonstrates his command of the studio, unfurling his falsetto over a kaleidoscope of rock genres. Rolling Stone
