Toto's most rocking one of Toto's best!

"Kingdom of Desire" was the last album by Toto with founding member and SuperDrummer "Jeffrey Porcaro". Shortly before the album's release, he died. And somehow you feel as though you were there had already suspected something when listening to "Kingdom of Desire". Because the album is dominated by very very harsh guitars and gloomy sound. "Kingdom of Desire" is undoubtedly the most extraordinary album of Toto, because so rocky and bleak as on this album never sounded again. The successor albums "Tambu" and "Mind Fields" go stilischtisch again in a different direction.

But that should be no devaluation of the album, on the contrary! Because in the Broad Album Toto every fan will recognize the distinctive Toto Grove also on this album. Because this album is not long Gitarrenquitscherei minutes without melody. There are just as usual at Toto keyboards fully operational and every song has a beautiful melodious keyboard track in the background (except for "Gypsy Train" -In my opinion, the hardest Toto song of all time). So do not be deterred. The album is very well of melodic Toto sound only just a little more rock and gloomy as usual. But songs like "2 Hearts", "The Other Side" and "Only You" should satisfy the fans of the quieter music perfectly.

Musically the album is of course perfectly attuned (Toto up !!! - Audio technology from the finest all !!!). But the songs are actually consistently great. Vorallen "Kingdom of Desire and" Dont chan my heart ", in my opinion, 2 of the best Toto songs of all time. And if that's not enough can then the last track of the album (Jake to the bone) schencken his hearing. This Song brings the genius of music best rock band of all time to a point - just awesome Each gifted guitar player would tear it playing this song all finger bones!

So buy - buy and buy again!
