Editorial Reviews:

Album Description
Recorded in Todd's current home state of Hawaii, 'Arena' is yet another notable addition to Rundgren's remarkable career as a performer, songwriter, and producer. The album showcases his unique songwriting style and sonically captures the essence and energy of arena rock with bombastic, guitar-driven tunes like 'Mountaintop', 'Strike' and 'Mad', while the anthemic song 'Mercenary', transports you to a stadium with its epic chorus, with 'How Do You Like Me Now?' resounding to every seat in the house.

Thankfully it's Todd November 17, 2008
Jeff P. (Durham, NC USA)
I'm still working my way into this album, but the Courage track is such pure, glorious, classic, instantly recognizable old-school Todd that it's worth the price of admission all by itself. At twice the price. And Strike, the AC/DC clone tune, is so much better than ANYTHING AC/DC ever did that it's a bonus. Buy this, if only for these two tunes. Hell, buy it if only for Courage.

Buy this album - unless you're chicken November 17, 2008
Michael Baird (downers grove, il USA)
Todd can do whatever he wants, and this time he wanted to make an album with leather balls. Todd used to complain that his generation was "just waiting to die - we'll swallow anything if it will just get us high". In his last album (Liars) he complained about dishonesty in politics, and life. His past songs have inspired people to think. This time, he's still complaining, but now he wants to inspire action. What better way to get people up off their couch - write songs that will make the listeners rush the stage. These songs have more big hooks than a Long John Silver convention (the pirate, not the seafood). Do you like great waves of power chords, great precise vocals, and great ideas? No? Well, buy this album anyway and maybe you will see what you're missing.

AWSOME!!! November 16, 2008
V. Vogelbacher (Toledo, Ohio)
As a long time Todd fan, seeing him reinvent himself over and over,this effort is a "Rock n Roll Masterpeice". For a 60 year old guy to be rocking like this is just AWSOME!

DON'T DELAY, BUY IT NOW AND ENJOY!

Tunes get stuck in yer head November 14, 2008
Thomas L. Shaffer
I've listened to this about 5 times, now the tunes are stuck in my head.
Really good, rockin', lotsa variety. They even played "Strike" during Sunday Night Football... I bet most people thought it was AC/DC!
