Customer Reviews
SIMPLY TOTO!!!
All of the songs are incredible!! from the very famous AFRICA, the great ballads I'LL BE OVER YOU, ROSSANA, the pure pop of 99, GEORGY PORKY, pure rock of HOLD THE LINE, PAMELA, and the newest songs included here LOVE HAS THE POWER, CAN YOU HEAR THAT I'M SAYING, this is the classic TOTO whom I knew when I was a child; a brillant album, brillant songs, an excellent sound!!
ballad orientated
I love this album, as it seems focussed on toto's ballads. 'I won't hold you back', '99', 'Africa' and 'I'll be over you'. These are all exceptional songs. But it is unrepresentative of Toto's general sound. They were quite rock orientated in places, and that is not in evidence on this album. (Bit like Richard Marx - recording ballads that are all released as singles, but his main output on albums being mainstream rock.)
Great band -- disappointing 'Best of'
Over the years, Toto have made plenty of good songs, and a few great songs, and a greatest hits album with more tracks on it could easily have been made. The previously unreleased songs on this album (Love has the power, Out of love, Can you hear what I’m saying and Animal) are not bad, but they are by no means Toto’s best work – better songs than this were ommitted from the album. So if you’re thinking of buying this album just for these songs – don’t.
It’s not a bad album, but the songs don’t really play well together – maybe the songs could have been arranged in a different order. My advice is to buy the outstanding Toto IV album, which includes Rosanna, I won’t hold you back and Africa, along with seven other really good songs. The only other Toto song without which your record collection is incomplete is the brilliant Hold the line, which is on plenty of rock compilations, at least one of which you’ve probably got!
As a first-time buyer of Toto, I was disappointed with this greatest hits album, and I have since bought Toto IV, which in my opinion is much better, especially if you’re only looking to buy one Toto album.
