Aw hell yeah! This is what a solo artist should sound like. When you're in a band, if the singer likes jazz, pop and rock, the guitarist likes punk, metal and rock, and the drummer likes avant-garde, jazz and rock then the band will most likely stick to the common ground and play rock with a few extra flavours creeping in, otherwise they'll drive each other crazy.
But when you're a solo artist, unless you've got a fairly narrow taste in music, or you have a reason (commercial or artistic) to pursue one style, then you're likely going to be into a few different sounds and want to explore at least some of them. That's what Todd does here, from art rock, to doo-wop, to pop, to rock n roll, to soul grooves, to noise-pop (that wouldn't sound out of place in the current alternative scene). Todd had the motivation and talent to try it all!
