Free Music Notes for Kingdom of Desire

Free Music Review: Outstanding--most rocking Toto album!
Hit: 5 Stars

Steve Lukather is most well-known in this band for his amazing guitar work and his beautiful lead singing on Toto ballads. But for sure, on this effort--on which he does all of the lead singing--he is remarkable on all tempos of songs. Rockers like the lead-off track "Gypsy Train" , "Never Enough", and "She Knows The Devil" showcase that Steve is more than a ballad singer. "Don't Chain My Heart" is a fantastic anthem of sorts--one of the best this band has ever done. And of course there are a few great ballads on here. I will mention in particular track number 8--a song called "The Other Side". Of all the great Toto ballads I have heard over the years, this ranks right up there amoung the best--with its soulful vocals and yearning, heartfelt message.

All in all, however, the focus on this album is ROCK. This is one of the better obscure finds of the past decade from a once-popular band. This album should have been huge--it is truly one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. (I'm sure the record company (...) them on promotion of this album at the time--with grunge taking over the world at that time...I didn't know this album existed until at least a couple of years after it was out.) To me this is a must-purchase in the melodic rock arena. Wish I had supported it 9 years earlier when it actually came out. For sure, better late than never!
