The best of Toto

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This album contains a collection of the best Toto songs, including the classic hits as well as 4 new songs recorded in 1990. These 4 new songs are co-written by Jean-Michael Byron, who only appeared on the Past to Present album as Toto's new vocalist. I cannot understand why Byron was chosen to sing in one of the world's best band - his voice cannot compete with Joseph Williams, Bobby Kimball or Steve Lukather. And I can't find the reason why they dropped "Goin' Home" and put "Love Has The Power" or "Animal" on the album. But the other two new songs, "Out Of Love" and "Can You Hear What I'm Saying" are both listenable. Especially "Can You Hear What I'm Saying", which features an outstanding performance by Michael Porcaro on bass guitar. There's no need to judge the other songs on the album; have a look at the tracklist above, and you'll be persuaded to buy "Past to Present"..."
