After a long silent period, probably due to the death of drummer Jeff Porcaro and the activities of Steve Lukather on his hobby project Los Lobotomys, the group Toto made its comeback with this CD. This album returned to the success formula of Toto IV and Toto VII, with which the band had a lot of success due to the many rock ballads that these albums contain.


Profile:
Originally a group of Los Angeles based studio musicians including guitarist Steve Lukather, keyboardist David Paich, bassist David Hungate, and the Porcaro Brothers (drummer Jeff Porcaro, keyboardist Steve Porcaro and later bassist Mike Porcaro), aside from doing session work for other stars, Toto had a lengthy career of hits in their own right. Their commercial peak was 1982’s ”TOTO IV”, which won several Grammy awards, including Album Of The Year. Toto is best known for their hits ”Africa,” ”Hold The Line”, ”Rosanna”, ”Georgy Porgy” (covered by 3D and Eric Benet and sampled by MC Lyte on her track ”Poor Georgie”), and ”I Won’t Hold You Back”, the last of which Roger Sanchez used for his worldwide hit ”Another Chance.” After Steve Lukather decided to leave Toto in order to concentrate on his solo career, the band became officially defunct as of mid-2008, although in 2010 they reformed, allegedly for a short series of concerts only, to support their former bassist Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease.). However, the band continues to tour. In October 2020, Lukather and Joseph Williams announced a renewed line-up and plans for a tour.
