More reviews for Global.

Q Magazine in a 2 star review says whilst Global is 'more cheery than 2013's State' it is 'less appealing'.

Mojo Magazine too are not feeling the love, stating it lacks" the quality of songwriting in his best best work from the '70s"

The Evening Telegraph's Kevin Bryan says: "It's not the most subtle offering that Rundgren has ever unleashed on his discerning devotees but as an exercise in rather superior synth-based dance music it fulfils its function more than adequately, with Evrybody, Blind and Terra Firma emerging as the best of the bunch."

Meanwhile, Record Collector's Joseph Adair says: "Global is as pastiche-y as the album’s cartoon-styled portrait sleeve, but no less enjoyable for that"  in its 3 star review.

I would say you could take half the songs off State and half off Global you could make a really great album. I just really don't need to hear the straight ahead dance stuff like Everybody and Party Liquor. But the more somber and ballad-type tunes are welcome additions to the TR catalog, in my opinion.
