5 stars One of the last, finest prog albums from -70's. Lovely hippiestyle with poppish influence from TR. Very pleasant and i find it a masterpiece.

First song is very strong, masterful guitarwork from Todd Rundgren, amazing keyboards, and stunning drums. Oh. its instrumental (mostly) . 10/10

Magic Dragon Theatre is funny, very "happylike". It's Pop-Prog song. This song shows that almost everyone in the band can sing so goddamn good 9/10.

Jealousy is heavy rock song with some prog elements on it. Maybe the weakest song here, sound very much like Ian Hunter's solo career work. 8.5/10

Eternal Love, well because I love Rundgrens solo career, I couldn't have liked this song. Pure 70's great pop. Lovely song 9/10

Sunburst Finish, again heavy rock with pure prog elements. Very strong and entertaining song. The guitar riff is very very nice. Love it. Every band member sings here also. Wonderful song. 10/10

Hiroshima, many consider this as the second "worth hearing songs" here, well it is good but I cannot agree with some, I find it kinda boring. But in the end it gets very good. 8½/10

Singring and the glass guitar. This is imo, one of the few big masterpiece epics in prog-scene, ever. It is a funny, very entertaining and great work from everyone in the band. It is a little fairytale, which I find very good, though it is childish. But the best here is the teamplay, vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keys, all are almost perfect. YOU MUST HEAR THIS SONG. It is GREAT. 20/10. :)
