Everything about this 1983 album, from the smirky title to the kitschy psychedelic lettering on the cover, suggests that this album is not to be taken entirely seriously; but actually, it's probably Todd Rundgren's most consistently entertaining album of the '80s.
1983 found Rundgren at a career crossroads. After 1981's self-titled LP, which featured the self-parodying pop hit "Feet Don't Fail Me Now," he broke up his experimental rock band Utopia, which had been his main focus for several years. THE EVER POPULAR TORTURED ARTISTS EFFECT returns to the one-man-band pop of his early solo albums, but in the decade since classics like SOMETHING/ANYTHING?, both Rundgren and pop music had changed. The songs here are synth-heavy and at times almost willfully odd, though tracks like "Bang the Drum All Day" are as catchy as anything he'd done. A delightful oddity.
