This recording, Todd's first solo album, took many hundreds (approaching a thousand, easy) of hours in songwriting, arranging, practicing, recording, re-recording, re-re-re-re-re-recording, mixing, etc... until the salicious brew of ear pollutants collectively known as the "Mister Sensitive" project was thrust from its digital womb into a world of petty grudges. Unlike Todd's band-based recording projects of the 1980s (X-teens and 4 Who Dared), Todd strove for a decidedly raw sound on this endeavor, a goal much advanced by his less-than precise guitar playing. And of course, in wondrous counterbalance to his feeling-over-precision approach to music, the stellar contributions from North Carolina's finest musicians propelled this far beyond Todd's abbreviated skill set. Todd's music has been compared to: Frank Zappa, Brian Wilson, Warren Zevon, XTC, Elvis Costello and even (gasp!) Radiohead. Musicians on the Mister Sensitive project include former bandmates of Ben Folds, sidemen from Norah Jones and a smattering of North Carolina's secret trove of astonishing players.
