Oblivion (1983)
Stuff I’ve Been Meaning To Post But Haven’t Had Time To Write About…
Most of my Todd/Utopia stuff is still on vinyl, but I surprised myself seeing this Utopian slab on the CD shelf. If I had the time to write about it, I’d tell you how great it is. Only $70 at Amazon.

Get it HERE.
The kitchen-sink sound on this album is definitely tough on the ears, but there are a lot of great songs here.
Conventional wisdom maintains that Todd's artistic apex was in the early 70s, but for me, the critically-reviled three-album stretch from Utopia in the 80s (Utopia, Oblivion, P.O.V) is my favorite Todd period.
