JohnH Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think the early albums have been remastered by Rock Candy. Need to get them. As for the new songs, iit almost makes Falling in Between look like Meet the Beatles and this is Revolver or Sgt Pepper. Really impressed and I think this is gonna be amazing. Falling In Between was incredible and this may top it! Would have liked to have seen Carlock with them but looks like this is never gonna happen. Loved Shannon though so I'm cool with it.

hurricane hugo Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Lukather confirmed on Twitter - Carlock out and Shannon in. Luke : @ThomasZecchinon for this year yes. Keith went with Steely Dan. Its all ok . We are all friends. Glad to hear that it's for the SD gig and not because of too much recreation. http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I don't have time right now to read through this thread from start to finish, but I'll just say that Toto is generally misunderstood by most people, as only diehard fans are aware of how much genre-hopping they've done over the years and how they excel at anything they tackle. I wasn't aware of recent re-masterings, but don't really go shopping these past few years. I can't remember how I felt about the earlier CD masters compared to the vinyl, but in the case of the rare Fahrenheit album (one of my favorite, and featuring Miles Davis), I never even know about it until the CD era. A friend of mine peripherally or directly works with those guys a lot. Great people, and very humble too. Yet it's too bad about some of the drama with their original singer (and maybe one other) and I think one of the bassists (it's vague at this point; I can't remember the details). Lukather is probably my all-time guitar hero. His solo albums are awesome too, which can't often be said about ventures away from a band.

JohnH Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm told by a drummer who recently worked with him Bobby has hearing problems and from clips I've heard lately he was singing flat and it didn't sound good. I guess that's why FIB live was auto tuned to the point of absurdity. Joseph just keeps raising his game with his fitness program and vocal coach training and it shows. I got backstage two years ago and even his post show debriefing with the monitor engineer was as intense and dedicated to details as a top race car driver's debriefing with his race engineer.

mate stubb Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It's weird not hearing Bobby's voice on this. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Havu Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's understandable, early on, he WAS the voice of Toto. To each his own, but personally, I'm a fan of Joe Williams (Fahrenheit and 7th One are in my top 5 favorite Toto albums, even though I love all of their stuff [with the exception of the stuff they did with Jean-Michel Byron on the Past to Present compilation.) I guess the reason it doesn't sound weird to me that Bobby isn't singing on this album is I'm used to hearing both Bobby and Joseph with Toto. Then again, that's just me. I will say, the keyboard work on the new track is spectacular.

Justin Havu Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 BREAKING NEWS--Mike Porcaro passed away last night. Taken from Steve Porcaro's FB page: "Our brother Mike passed away peacefully in his sleep at 12:04 AM last night at home surrounded by his family. Rest in peace, my brother." He will definitely be missed.

Mark Schmieder Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 There's a great interview/review of the new album in this month's Mix Magazine, and they talk about how they gave it their all vs. just writing off the end-of-contract. I can't wait to hear the album! I've liked just about everything they've done and have followed them through their ups and downs. Mike Porcaro will definitely be missed. I believe that is now two deaths in the Toto family, or was there a third somewhere along the line? It must really hit them hard as it really is a family band of brothers and might-as-well-be-brothers.

UnderGroundGr Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The album is GREAT. One of the best of 2015 and in top five of toto albums !!! "Falling in between" was fantastic but this one is better !!! Great Expectations...all the prog rock(hard rock) bands must listen this track... I wish they come to Hellas and i wish to make just one more record. But if they decide not to record new songs again they gave as a masterpiece for their last album !!!
