RA gets an A in my book!

Review Score: (10/10)
As a lot of the other reviews say, yes a lot of this CD from Todd's alter-ego Utopia is somewhat 'dated', but heck, so is a LOT of music from this era that I STILL listen to today because a LOT of today's music is just not 'making the cut'.

Ra is Utopia at their very best - very creative, inventive yet still keeping the pop sensibilities that Todd brings to the show. I always thought that Utopia was Todd's outlet for experimentation, and he always let other members of the band contribute equally to the effort.

If you were to only own 1 Utopia CD, this is IT. Some of the earlier stuff is great but 'out there', and a lot of the later stuff was just too commercial/pop for me. Ra is the perfect mix of great pop (Eternal Love), rockers (Communion with the sun) and a classic prog-rock fairy tale (Singring). To me, this is a must-have for any serious rock music fan that dares to listen to something out of the ordinary.
