Free Music Notes for Falling in BetweenFree Music Review: Still very vital !
Toto is still a very vital band and this is a great news for old fans of the band like myself. Toto is a band that I return to from time to time since the eighties in between a lot of Jazz =)). "The Seventh One" has been one of the albums I listened the most when I was a kid. Still I consider that album a masterpiece in the arena rock, adult rock genre if you want. But frankly after "Kingdom of desire" (that I still considered a fantastic album) I couldn't find in the band the same sparkle of genial creativity they had in the past. They still mantained an incredible level of musicianship of course, but the albums that came later (from Tambu on) didn't impress me that much. It seemed to me as the ideas, the strongest melodical ideas were in the past of the band. So I was a little perplexed when a friend of mine gave me this last effort from the band that, to add something more dangerous, came out on a small italian label (my compliments to this label which is giving to a lot of bands from the eighties freedom, support and new opportunities to record albums as the bands, and we listeners, want to). I thought "ok, for this band the decline is begun, now they are old stars that have to prey for a contract by a small "local" label" ... How was I wrong guys! This album is a kick in the face! A fantastic album with no weak points! The band is very vital, the compositions fantastic under any point of view. The songs are exceptional really, they are technical and flamboyant at times, but the band still managed to put in there the melodic hooks (very beautiful this time!) we want from them. Among the ten tunes there are no boring moments for me, every one has its strong personality and the interest is mantained always very high throughout the album. As a matter of personal taste I'd say that the only tune I could work a little bit more on could be "Spiritual man" which in my ears sounds a little predictable, but again it's only my taste. Among the tunes I love the most I can name "Hooked" an exceptional funky dirty groove that grows every minute to become an incredible anthem, and surely the opener "Falling in Between" which is a fantastic statement of the health of the band and of its composers. I absolutly loooooove the r'n'r rollercoaster ride of "Taint your World" too! The album is very consistent from the beginning to the end, really. There are some melodic ideas in this album that are trademarks of the band such as the chorus for "The bottom of your soul" and even for "King of the world" ... even "Let it go" maybe. Those ideas have been with band ever since, but it's not a complaint, just an obvious consideration. They are part of the personality of this band, and if you love the band, you'll recognize them for sure (and you'll love them!). Luke guitar sounds hungrier than ever, and it's another good news, ... his lead sound is more similar to the killer one he had in the eighties (the Soldano era ... or, fellow guitarists, the one he had in the instructional video, just a little less wet maybe) that I still absolutly love. It's not that half dirty sound (more crunch than lead) he chose in later effort (the Rivera period) that was not so distinctive to me. I love Luke's pure eighties "take no prisoners" solos! Here he makes me happy! The band sounds to me tighter than ever. It's wonderful the fact that every singer of the band finds his place, Luke, David, Bobby. It adds more variety to the album and it's a sort of recap of their history. So in the end I'd say its great to have Toto in perfect shape after all these years. Because they are unbelievable musicians, music writers, ... in the end they're musical icons! I REALLY hope they'll continue to release albums as strong as this one! Long live Toto!
