The Seventh One
''The Seventh One'' is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Toto. It was released in 1988, and became the best-received Toto album since ''Toto IV''. The title track, "The Seventh One", is featured only on the Japanese version of the album and on the B-side of the single "Pamela". It was also released on some compilations on a later date. It would be their second and last studio album with lead vocalist Joseph Williams until ''Toto XIV'' (2015). Background and recording Steve Lukather described the writing of ''The Seventh One'' as a period of prolific "one-upmanship" with the band trying to impress one another with their compositions. One of the first compositions completed was the ballad "Anna", written by Lukather and Randy Goodrum. Lukather considers the song to be one of his best compositions. "Anna" was followed by " Pamela," written by David Paich, described as the "heir apparent" to " Rosanna." Paich and Lukather then composed "Stop Loving You," which bot ...

Sort of like a warning to people, like, you never know how good you got it until you don't have it anymore." Reception ''Cash Box'' said that "The w ...

Isolation (Toto Album)
''Isolation'' is the Gold-certified fifth studio album by Toto, released on October 18, 1984.

Relatively few songs from this album were featured in live performances after 1985's Isolation World Tour. Background and recording While ''Toto IV'' was a massive, Grammy winning success, Toto elected not to mount a U.S. tour behind the album, a decision Steve Lukather has since regretted as a missed opportunity to become a "US-arena rock band." Part of the reluctance to tour was the ongoing personal and legal drug-related problems of lead vocalist Bobby Kimball. As the band began sessions for ''Isolation,'' Kimball reportedly struggled ba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
