| Right down to the cover, I always thought this was Toto's attempt at trying to repeat the glories of "Toto IV". "Pamela" is like "Rosanna", "Mushanga" is like "Africa" and so on. Well, it didn't work... which isn't to say this CD is bad. On the contrary, it's quite good. "Stay Away" and "Only the Children" are great rockin' numbers, with the usual ballad fare like "Anna". (By the way, is there any girl whose name Toto HASN'T written a song about??!!)

| Koogles is saying above "By the way, is there any girl whose name Toto HASN'T written a song about??!!) ". There are about 1,500 girl names and they have done only 3-4 songs with female names. To answer your question...Yes, there are girl names that Toto hasn't written a song about...

| "Mushanga" is my favorite song here, great vibe reminds me of "Africa" but a bit less commercial ... this is by far my favorite album from them, J. Williams is a great singer (even if that one on "Isolation" was simply the BEST singer they had) all the songs are pretty good. I don't like the sounds of guitar in this album though..

| La obra maestra de Toto. En este disco el grupo llega a un nivel de composiciones insuperable. Como siempre la calidez y el "feeling" marca de la casa están ahí. Difícil destacar alguna canción entre tanta maravilla... quizás la elegante "Anna" y la cañera "Straight for the heart". Que grande!!

| As Joan says :La obra maestra de Toto,possibly...best performance...best prduction.Great singles and great lyrics.Porcaro was on the top during those days.He's just incredible and gave to the songs definitely something more.These Chains,Pamela,Mushanga,Home of the brave,Only the childred.The's not a weak song on this one.A must.

| Probably my 2nd favourite Toto release, behind "IV", with Joseph Williams on mighty form yet again. A more consistent release than "Farrenheit" for me, although the production is a little thin. "Only the Children" is an AOR gem, and the Paich/Williams duet "Home of the Brave" would've sounded at home on "IV". Yet again Toto didn't make best use of a world class vocalist, as Williams sits aside and up pops Lukather yet again on a few tracks (and sounds terrible on "Anna"). 9/10.

| If any Toto buy this one. It's filled with great songs from start to finish -especially "Home of the brave"- and presents Joseph WIlliams at his peak. Production sounds a little bit dated by now, but it's still a great melodic rock piece anyway! Remaster, please!

| This is one of the best AOR albums ever if not the best! And certainly Toto's best album and line-up with Joseph Williams on volcals. The album is filled with great catchy songs and good production. That production isn't even dated anymore since music is about to return to the 80's. You can compare these years starting in 2005 easily with 1985 - 1990. This is the music of the future! Be sure to also check out their new album Falling In Between which has a lot in common with The Seventh One.

| SUAVE PERO IMPRESIONANTE. UN DISCO BUENO Y QUE DEJA HUELLA. PARA MI LA MEJOR CANCIÓN DE ESTE DISCO ES "STRAIGHT FOR THE HEART", UNA CANCION UNICA Y EXQUISITA.

| AWESOME AOR!! MAGISTRAL!! Este es el disco que ocupa el lugar numero 2 en mi ranking personal de AOR. Para mi, el mejor disco de TOTO, pues aqui logran una sonoridad increible, una conjunción musical asombrosa, una mistica de grupo perfecta y un estilo que logra balancear perfectamente toda la gama musical del grupo. Es verdad, "Pamela" puede que sea un intento por lograr las glorias que consiguió "Rossana", pero "Pamela" brilla con luz propia, gracias a esa sección de vientos, ese estilo...

| seductor semi-funky, la gloriosa voz de Joseph Williams y una letra hermosa; la ritmica y alegre "You Got Me" no te permitirá bajar los animos; llegamos al baladón "Anna" todo un temazo romantico, sublime con un sentimiento embriagante para dejar asentado que el verdadero amor siempre reconoce su hogar (¿Quien demonios dice que el Rock es destructivo? que escuche temas como este y luego nos diga); la esplendorosa "Stop Loving You", con un ejecución musical espectacular y un Joseph Williams ...

| pletórico con su magica voz en su mejor momento; ahi tenemos a "Mushanga", con ecos a lo "Africa", pero iniciándonos por una maravillosa aventura a tierras jamaiquinas a ritmo del mejor Westocoast, pleno de percusiones y ritmos nativos, toda una joya; la marchosa y contagiosa "Stay Away" con un Joseph Williams arrollador contando con la participación de Linda Rostandt y Lukather haciendo uso de su versatil estilo, ahora con slide; la apantallante "Straight To The Heart", un temazo magico de AOR

| al igual que la demoledora "Only The Children", demostrando que la fuerza y contundencia nunca se han perdido, claro que no; la impresionante balada "A Thousand Years" y aqui Joseph se sale, al igual que Lukather y el exquisito Jeff Porcaro; Lukather a la voz nos deleita con "These Chains", un tema a lo R&B de gran calidad y el broche de oro es la aplastante "Home Of The Brave", contundente y glorioso tema. Y pues que decir, Gracias TOTO, por grabar este album... GENIAL--OBRA MAESTRA--DISCO 10!!

| This is Toto's last great album (and what a cd this is!!). Then they decided to go for the melodic hard rock, and the show was over! In my opinion each album (except "Isolation", I don't like the voice on that one) up to this record was good. This is my favourite after "Turn Back".

| 'Straight for the Heart' and 'Only the Children' are the best songs on an album where it's really hard to find a duffer. Look, at the end of the day these guys, Journey, Survivor, Boston, REO et al are the guys that introduced us all (well, us oldens) to this type of music, either through film soundtracks or the charts. they've earned their stripes and we should frankly be grateful that they even think about making music. If they wanted to make an album of fart noises we should say 'thank you very much'. Anything that the above mentioned release is ok by me, because without them we'd all be listening to dross. 95/100

| I decided to buy this album after the comments posted here, as my first CD of Toto, and after listening to it, I got ambiguous opinions about it. In one hand, it´s a top-quality musical effort with great musicians, great vocalist and superb production. But in the other hand I found it too soft for me. I think this album must be labeled as a VERY lite AOR/soft rock/80s pop. The only rocking songs here are "Only The Children" and "Home Of The Brave". The rest, in my opinion, are brilliantly executed soft rock songs. Ok, I must admit that perhaps I started with the wrong one, so I´m looking for another Toto album.

| Hey kai-2 you're looking for another Toto album? is very easy you need the best "Isolation" from 1984 if you need energy and power for your Soul & Heart then listen to "Angel Don't Cry & Stranger In Town" 2 of the best AOR songs.

| I think it's a bit more than 3 or 4 toto songs with girls names .... Anna, Lea, Rosanna, Melanie, Holyanna, Pamela, Lorraine..... I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Anyway, this, along with past to present are the two most essential toto cd albums of all for me. This one is not totally perfect but it's close and far better than Fahrenheit of 86

| For me this release is all included. AOR is meant to be the total result of a powerful, rocking instrumental blend. And by those standards this CD defines it. Rather than trying to fit a certain sound the band focuses on musical perfection without limitations. Sky's the limit: good music from start to finish.

After the boring Isolation it seems they decided to change their sound. It's more classic TOTO in the style of their debut album with a bit IV and Isolation mixed into it. Mushanga is clearly "inspired" by Africa and Jeffs groove is awesome. The four songs i always liked most are Home of the Brave (completely awesome), Straight for the Heart, Only the Children and A Thousand Years but really there isn't a weak song on this album (There would but thankfully they decided not to include the song The Seventh One  ) It's their best 80's album i think, slightly before Isolation.

STOP for me toto is finish.sorry melanie "shadowangel" but for me now toto is for people who wants fun with american variety.

| @MysticHealer I certainly fucked that one up I meant Fahrenheit not Isolation. As i said on that album: Isolation is awesome, no doubt about that. @123charpeny I think that those Solo Spots can be annoying (best example are those horrible Drum Solos from Matt Sorum during the Illusion Tour of Guns n' Roses) but with TOTO it's more like a talent showcase, they are awesome on their instruments and they incorporate some songs, structures in their Solos. It's annoying when the band only plays 45-80 minutes and fill that up with Solos (like every year at Sweden Rock Festival so many bands do) but Toto is one of the few bands i can enjoy the Solos. And 60€? For Toto? Even during their 25th Anniversary Tour they only charged 35€ at the most here in Munich in the Olympiahalle (and that and the Olympic stadium are the most expensive concert places here, i mean Iron Maiden takes 60€ for a concert in the Olympiahalle but TOTO? Never seen that and after 2007 the tickets got even cheaper.

| this is in the top 3 Toto albums Order 1 Isolation 2 Farenheit 3 The 7th One To be fair..it was hard to split Farenheit and The 7th One Fergie is totally supreme on Isolation... These 3 albums represent Totos true AOR albums during that golden time for music..IV is of course the celebrated album....but a little too smooth for me !! Williams is a star... still singing well in 2022... Loved the look of the band during this period too.... ,Long mullets.....
