What do you think about the album "falling in between"? And what song do you rank the highest? Africa, Hold the line or Rosanna?

Falling In Between is a great album IMO, and up there with The Seventh One, Tambu and Fahrenheit for me.

My favorite Toto song happens to be on the debut though, and it's a real cracker!

Nobody mentioned "Mindfields". One of the best pop-rock albums I've ever heard. 100% perfect with no weak points and an amazing sound. Something like Tool's "Lateralus".

Sent you a PM on that. Just so as you know the level of my love for soft rock.

Soft Rock > Hard Rock > Heavy Metal (and as you know I'm pretty much obsessed with metal)

I don't think Tool fans will be overly happy with the comparison, personally I think Mindfields is an overly long and quite dull album, which is disappointing as it saw the long awaited return of Bobby Kimball.

Just watched a Toto concert not too long ago, and it was fantastic. Aside from all the pop-ish tunes they've put out I'd like to mention what an incredible guitarist Steve Lukather is. Sure he got schooled by Jeff Beck trying to play his tune, but he did win 8 grammy's. Funny how at 3:45 Jeff kinda says "Here's how it's done, son"...


Jeff Beck & Steve Lukather & Jan Hammer(live) - Freeway Jam.mpg - YouTube

...and Steves work on Merry Axemas is outstanding.

But, yeah. Toto rocks.

Do you think I care? No. Am I trying to compare both artists? Not at all. I absolutely love both bands. Compositions, groove and sound on both albums are unquestionable.
