    From the new Arena songs I’ve heard MAD (Myspace) COURAGE, PISSIN, STRIKE (YouTube) this is shaping up to be the album we’ve been waiting for from Todd since his collaboration on Bat Out of Hell; ie a rocking out, kick ass guitar frenzy… but with intelligent lyrics. His ability to produce massive hits for other artists yet not crack the charts with his own material remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time. My theory is that Todd’s astounding work rate and creativity has resulted in a tendency to be over prolific, both in the quantity and content of albums…fuelling a propensity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in terms of gaining wider exposure to his undeniable musical genius. ARENA seems to be a focussed collection of songs with the potential to unlock the door to some kind of ‘mass’ appeal. I sincerely hope so. I need redemption for 35 years of devotion and it would be cool finally not to have to explain to people who TR is.
