Free Music Notes for Through the Looking Glass
Free Music Review: for fans only
Hit: 2 Stars
Unfortunately this CD is for fans only. I am one (and a hard core on to boot), but some songs (Could you, Sunshine, the Elton cover) are just boring. For fans only, the cover of While my guitar is excellent, really good, and so is Bodhisattva and the S. Wonder song. The rest is very forgettable, and the CD is way too short. C'mon guys now that you are independent from labels you have to give more to your fans. Looking forward to see you live in a week.BTW, the overall mediocrity of this CD fits well with the Costello parody "detectives". Since the artist is boring and pretentious and the song ... in the first place, there is little to lose. Costello may have actually benefited from this CD-cheers mate! (from a Toto fan)
Free Music Review: Poor, poor, poor
Hit: 2 Stars
To me it is pretty obvious.All post Jeff Porcaro albums are just pretty bad. Simon is good in his own right. But the magic died with Jeff. Mindfield was just embarrising.
I saw Jeff play in clubs and as well with Toto many times. The air was just the most vibrant and Jeff IS the gruuv. Not a technical player per se. It's all heart. And hey, I'm a guitar player. I'm just putting in my 2 cents.
Free Music Review: Oh dear - what a disappointment .... for these reasons

Cover versions - some just awful in my opinion - eg Could you be loved and the Motown ones for starters - some quite good and a bit like the originals - Burn down the mission and Bodhisattva - but still being two of the better tracks followed closely by House of the Rising sun and Sunshine of your love - disappointing version of While my guitar gently weeps and by time you get to track 10 Watching the Detectives then you will know it is time to remove the cd from your player - This cd is by far the worst Toto cd I have ( have them all and have done for many years) - thankfully only three songs are being played on the current tour - it is a pity that two of those three are some of the below par songs on this cd - I am pleased that the cd is so short - it is so below par.Finally - Sorry to a bunch of excellent musicians who have really let themselves down here in my opinion.Free Music Review: Great Musicians gone bad!!!

I grew up listening to TOTO and have been to concerts... they are at the top of my music pile, but this album is the perfect example of great musicians making a bad album. If you are looking for a GREAT TOTO album/DVD get their 25th anniversary TOTO Live in Amsterdam DVD....wow talk about fantastic musicianship... simply a unbelievable DVD. The lighting, sound and music arrangement was and is the best.
This album... I hate to say it in the same sentence with TOTO...SUCKS!!! Sorry guys... I own them all but this one.

I have been a Toto fan for 20 years way back to the original Toto album and even as backup musicians for the likes of Boz Skaggs. This album is terrible. Why would some of the best songwriters in the business feel the need to do cover songs?Glad to have Bobby Kimball back and look forward to some grass roots rock from them soon. My advice....don't buy this album unless you listen to it first. This is not the Toto we love.
