So Im gonna try this in real time. The instrumental, I was very happy about, as I love instrumentals.. especially openers. Gives the band a chance to breathe. The second song , "Ill supply the love" threw me for a loop for a moment... Started as a sorta, cheesy corporate rocker with a high falsetto voice I was not expecting. But near the end, they went into a killer gospel groove, they didnt fit but was perfect!! Now Im onto songs 3 and 4, "Georgy Porgy", and Manuela Run"... these have the sounds I was expecting, only knowing Toto 4. Georgy Porgy has a great R&B feel to it, and Manuela Run does feel like a hybrid of Africa and Roseanna.... other than the first song, so far the vocals and harmonies are stellar. The musicianship is tight as hell.. not surprises here. "You are the flower", is definitely the seed for later R&B songs of the 80s... this is a killer groove.. definitely ahead of its time. The singer is Bobby Kimball, the singer on Ill Supply the Love... but totally different vocal style.. dude has range!! "Goodbye Girl"... hard to believe this song is 1978 when it sounds like a mid-80s rocker. So far my favorite. These guys are amazing composers and performers. "Takin it back"... the synth sequence opening had me expecting something heavy, but again, another R&B laced ballad the brings memories of Earth Wind and Fire from the same era. A beautiful nylon string guitar solo that merges into a sweet short electric solo executed by Steve Lukather. The outro really started to jam as it faded out... was hoping it would be longer. "Rockmaker"... i was hoping, by the title, this wouldve been a heavy rocker.. unfortunately, this is a cheesy pop attempt that sounds like it could be the theme song to a late 70s/ early 80s TV sitcom. I could hear this as a single, but I wouldnt have been attracted to it all. "Hold the Line"... completely forgot about this song. If ya dont know this one, buckle up... I do believe this is the one that put them on the map. "Angela"...last song... Im thinking, why end it on a slow piano ballad, but give this one about 3 minutes... it changes up and is a great finale to a great debut album.
