Consisting of session musicians with a resume longer than an arm, TOTO is a band that went through decades with a
breathtaking class. Isn’t it the only band that can boast about having Miles Davis guesting on one of their
albums? But flattery aside, it’s indeed one of the rare melodic rock bands that hasn’t followed the rules
of the genre, thanks to an eclectic vision of their music. Toto means indeed”all” in latin, because the goal
of the group was to look over all the styles that touched them. We could therefore hear throughout their albums soul,
funk, blues, jazz-rock, progressive rock, reggae (on the compilation of unreleased tracks “TOTO XX”), and
hard-rock, in addition to the melodic rock that cements the whole. Besides, and still in a purpose of diversification,
the main vocals were always shared between three or four of the band’s members, even if among them, one lent his
voice to most of the tracks, and held only this role in the band. This was the case for Joseph Williams on the albums
“Fahrenheit” and “The Seventh One”, after the sensational performances of the “soul
man” Bobby Kimball on the first four records (among which “TOTO IV”), and the “UFO” Fergie
Frederiksen, deceased last year (“Isolation”). However, after Joseph Williams left, and the brief presence
of Jean-Michel Byron, Steve Lukather, aka Luke, who had gained self-assurance in the meantime, was determined to perform
all vocal parts, before the return of Bobby Kimball in the band helped reshape the share of vocals as in the old
days.
  
  On their 13th album, which aims at being a follow-up to the memorable “TOTO IV” (that
featured the big hits “Rosanna” and “Africa”), the band sees the return of original bassist
David Hungate. Mike Porcaro, one of the three Porcaro brothers, suffers indeed from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which
prevents him from performing with the band. Moreover, another member of the original line-up, keyboardist Steve Porcaro,
answered to the call of his old mates in the band. Simon Phillips, one of the greatest drummers in the world, who had
joined the band after the sudden death of Jeff Porcaro (as great a drummer as Simon and author of the “Rosanna
shuffle”), left shortly before their 35th Anniversary Tour. Keith Carlock, a drummer in his fourties and whose
talent could already be assessed on TOTO’s last Tour, hands over from him. This is great opportunity for him and
he has nothing to be ashamed of in comparison to his renown predecessors, his chops are indeed vigorous and full of
assurance, yet granting more importance to cymbals, for a dynamic and briliant result. Although this new offering is
supposed to be a follow-up to “TOTO IV”, it’s not the legendary Bobby Kimball who performs vocals,
but Joseph Williams, already there during the Anniversary Tour. His voice is as expressive as in his debuts with the
band, and keeps on giving chills down our spine. Moreover, the choirs are beautifully arranged. Luke, the most in-demand
guitarist in the world and whose influence on guitarists goes beyond our imagination, keeps on delivering solos full of
that incandescence typical of the golden era of jazz-rock, yet with a strong emphasis on melody. Keyboards are shared
between Steve Porcaro and David Paich, and sail between melancholy and lightness, always with humility, staying far from
any showing off. Let’s also pay tribute to the band’s long-time friend, world-renown percussionnist Lenny
Castro, who brings a real “Latin” flavour to the whole. So now you get the picture: it’s once again
an invitation to an eclectic patchwork. Therefore, next to catchy tunes (the rhythmic “Running Out Of Time”
and “Fortune”, the striking “Holy War”), a few tear-jerking songs wait for us (the tribal
“Burn”, melancholic and pleading in turn, the aptly named “All The Tears”, as well as the
dynamic yet touching “Orphan”). We are also taken by surprise by more complex pieces, which will once again
feed the debate about the “progressiveness” of TOTO, that fans of progressive rock like to bring up (the
orchestral “Unknown Soldier”, the enchanting “Great Expectations” with many winks to their very
first album). Quite conversely to these tracks, it’s a light balad with an R’n'B feel to it that caresses
our ears (the sunny and mischievous “The Little Things”). Besides, Black Music is not forgotten since here,
an aquatic blues fills us with enthusiasm – surprising for a blues, isn’t it? (“21st Century
Blues”), and there a jazz-funk tune sounds like a tribute to the late Jeff Porcaro (the not so aptly named
“Chinatown”, where David, Luke and Joseph answer to each other over melodies reminding “Georgy
Porgy”, also from their very first album). The japanese pressing presents a marvellous mesmerizing pop-ambient
bonus track (“Bend”), with lamented strings and a voice where stressed syllables present an intonation that
gives the impression of a search for a ray of hope. This song shows another side of a band that never ceases to amaze us
through its open-mindedness.
  
  Many of us probably thought TOTO’s career was put on-hold since the
great “Falling In Between”, yet the current context (many “old” stars of melodic rock are back
in the limelight, especially on TOTO’s current label, and the band recently toured to celebrate the 35 years of
being together), may have reawakened their appetite for creating new material. Bad mouths may always regret the
“commercial” side of some songs, those songs deserve all their place on the record, the band having never
aimed at performing an all-commercial product nor an all-complex one, but rather boil slices of one aspect and the other
one in the same pot, in order to prove that music is not a field of clash but rather a common ground. Besides, the band
plans to donate part of the funds obtained from the sales of the album to various Associations. Therefore, please buy
the album, you will kill two birds with one stone : on one hand you will be happy, on the other hand you will make other
people happy!
