I’ve always been a great fan of the older Toto material, let’s say their first four or five albums.  Not that on later albums they had bad songs, but none of them, as far as I’m concerned, could equal the quality of songs like ‘Rosanna’, ‘Hold The Line’, ‘Africa’.  They wrote other great songs of course, like ‘Pamela’, or even ‘Georgy Porgy’, but these last years nothing extraordinary was released although I must say that upon hearing ‘I Will Remember’ again it also brought back some pleasant memories, just like the following tracks ‘Don’t Chain My Heart’  and ‘Wings Of Time’ yet all three of these tracks are also over 10 years old.

They are currently on a reunion-tour, with the next dates already announced for September, in Japan. 
They played in Vorst last June, but I missed the gig. 

Since I already own a large collection of Toto albums, this is not an album I’d buy.  If on the other hand you only know Toto from its later work, this album is ideal to get to know their older stuff.
