Review

"Toto IV," released back in '82, truly showcases Toto's knack for blending different musical vibes into one seamless, engaging listen. This album is packed with catchy, well-produced tracks that appeal to everyone. With hits like "Rosanna" that climbed to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the iconic "Africa," which reached number 1, it’s clear these guys know how to craft unforgettable melodies.

This album wasn't just a hit on the charts; it scooped up three Grammy Awards in '83, including the coveted Album of the Year. The intricate, polished sound of "Toto IV" is thanks to their meticulous use of multiple 24-track recorders and layers of overdubbing. It’s also a bittersweet landmark since it was the last album with the original lineup before David Hungate and Bobby Kimball left. "Toto IV" is a beautiful snapshot of the band's immense talent and their ability to create songs that still resonate today. - Sienna
