MagnetJun 28, 2017The mixed-bag effect of White Knight reaches its best moments on Runt's partnership with R&B shouter Bettye LaVette on the salty soul of "Naked & Afraid," and his teaming with Nine Inch Nails' film composition team Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross on the crushing, cinematic "Deaf Ears." [No. 143, p.61]
-
The WireAug 8, 2017Crazy, tender and occasionally corny, Rundgren remains defiantly unpredictable. [Jul 2017, p.60]
-
May 23, 2017Rundgren tricks abound in the sonics--he’s a master of the synth and the Beach Boys chorus, but the overall mood is on point.
-
May 11, 2017The album’s relaxed charm makes it an easy, endearing listen, but some of its collaborations don’t transcend their novelty.
-
May 11, 2017Inconsistency is like a muse here, but he seems to work best with Seventies peers like Joe Walsh, Daryl Hall and Donald Fagen, whose smooth Donald Trump parody "Tin Foil Hat" is a timely highlight.
-
May 11, 2017White Knight is split fairly evenly between solid senders and odd detours, which just makes the overall package weirder: it has the bones of a good record but Rundgren seems disinterested in actually making a good record
-
May 12, 2017Mostly, White Knight sounds like an album that was probably a lot more fun to make than it is to listen to.
-
May 11, 2017It’s far from prime Rundgren and there’s little doubt that most of this would sound better with a full band instead of Rundgren’s “I’ll do it alone and save some money” keyboard dominated music.
