Your comments about this record:

Although this album is over 25 years old, the music doesn't get old. Childs Anthem and Gorgy Porgy are classsics!


If there was only a group that remains in westcoast music, no doubt Toto would be this one. Only listen to "child anthem" the instrumental opening track and you won't believe it has 30 years !!! The musicians are all fantastic from keys to drums, certainly one of he best albums ever done !!!


Everybody likes Toto - even if they don't admit or even know it. Every member has played / performed / sung / written so many styles, with and for so many other artists. This debut is as stellar as any performer could hope for - very strong in writing, musicianship, creativity, production, arrangement. What I like on this debut is the precision - lost somewhat on their sophomore LP "Hydra" - when they were going for a more raw sound with producer Tom Knox. The same tight sound was not restored until they once again were in the producer's seat with the multi-grammy award winning "Toto IV". A most unfortunate thing for us Toto fans in the USA is that CBS has not remastered all of the original albums for CD. Available in Japan are the first 7 releases - remastered with superior sound with miniature LP covers and full inserts, plus the original graphics used on each record label, and miniature poster in "Turn Back" too. Toto's playing is perfect is every way - they are the musicians that musicians listen to.
