Free Music Notes for The Seventh One

Free Music Review: "The Seventh One"
Hit: 5 Stars

1988 was the year that vetran rock band Toto released their seventh album aptly named "The Seventh One". It was their first album not to feature keyboardist Steve Porcaro as a band member (although he did play on it) and was their last with lead singer Joseph Williams. It was also the final Toto album to yield any successful hits.
Musicially, "The Seventh One" was Toto's most progressive album to date. While it does have its share of pop-rock moments, elements of the '80s progressive rock sound heard in band's like Asia and Yes's 90125-era dominate this album. This makes for one of Toto's most adventerous albums to date without sounding too over the top or bombastic.
While previous Toto albums featured various members besides the lead singer taking the lead as vocalist, "The Seventh One" is pretty much Joseph Williams' show singing lead on all but two tracks - "Anna" and "These Chains" which are excellent ballads sung by guitarist Steve Lukather. Keyboardist David Paich is also heard singing on the epic closer "Home Of The Brave" which is otherwise dominated by Williams.
Standout tracks on the album are the three tracks mentioned above as well as the driving rocker "Only The Children", the Carribean-flavored "Mushanga" and the power-pop of the album's two hit singles "Stop Loving You" and "Pamela" which bears a strong resemblance to the band's all-time classic hit "Rosanna".
For many, "The Seventh One" marked the end of an era for Toto. It was their last album of the '80s as well as their next-to-last album with drummer Jeff Porcaro (who would pass away in 1992). It was also their last album with a bona fide front man (not counting the four tracks with Joesph Williams' replacement Jean-Michel Byron on the 1990 compilation "Past To Present") until original lead singer Bobby Kimball returned to the band in 1998.
Despite whether this was Toto's last great album or not (I personally think the latter), "The Seventh One" contains some of Toto's strongest music and is loaded with the band's continued strive for musical excellence. It is definitely excellence that dominates this album in every track from the arrangements to the musicianship and the production itself.
Seven definitely proved to be a winning number for Toto with this album.
