Bio:

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Los Angeles, California. The band's current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), and Keith Carlock (drums). Bass player Nathan East is currently touring with Toto as a guest musician, as Mike Porcaro is too ill to tour. Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B and jazz.David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band's eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV (1982), Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits "Hold the Line", "Rosanna", and "Africa". Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and is no longer an active member of the band.The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 35 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.

Album:

Rock Candy specialists have 'Remastered & Reloaded' TOTO's most celebrated '80s albums few weeks ago. Let's start with the catchy "Isolation".For this album, Lukather & Co. made the drastic decision to fire vocalist Bobby Kimball, replaced by the awesome Fergie Frederiksen (previously of pomp purists Trillion and Le Roux)."Isolation" begins with 'Carmen', an excellent opener, catchy and engaging thanks to the duet between David Paich and Frederiksen's gorgeous pipes, and it provides a good idea of what is about to come: the songs won't really slow down except for 'Lion' (which is a midtempo anyway) and for the single true ballad of the album 'How Does It Feel', making the entire work energetic and really pleasant to listen to.Considering the high number of ballads Toto provided with some of the previous albums, having just one here feels strange. If we also consider that the song manages to be unforgettable, we find what makes this album so good as all the previous ones: consistency.Every song manages to get stuck in your head. If I could use only one word to describe this album, it would be "catchy". Everything, from the vocals to the instrumentation, is catchy.Speaking about the mentioned consistency, Toto keep firing one killer track after another: 'Angel Don't Cry', 'How Does It Feel', the terrific title track, 'Change Of Heart'... all are true '80s AOR gems.Sure, catchiness plays a huge role here (thanks mainly to Fergie Frederiksen's harmonies) but the goodness of the instrumentation must not be forgotten.Steve Lukather shines through the entire album and provides driving riffs ('Change Of Heart', 'Carmen') and solos. Actually, the solos are often short, but have the right punch and are carried by the superb keyboards.A mention of honor goes in fact to the keyboardists: David Paich and Steve Porcaro not only help at giving an identity to each song, but often end up being the stars instead of Lukather ('Mr. Friendly', 'Change of Heart' or 'Endless'). Last but not least, Jeff Porcaro provides another stunning performance with the drumming, keeping it catchy yet aggressive without being overly minimal.'Isolation' is one of the most consistent albums in Toto's career. It's catchy, it's energetic, it's highly replayable, it's solid, it's awesomely well played, and it provides a lot of AOR anthems to sing to. Plus, it provides zero forgettable tracks.The Rock Candy remaster is surprisingly loud - yet not brickwalled - giving the album and even highly pumping output.
