![]() If you fit into either of the first 2 categories, pick this disc up. There rarely seems to be apathy when it comes to Toto. You will either have found memories, have never heard of it or have hated it. Although there is some interesting ideas in this mix, I stay stick with stereo.Īs for the album, I do not think there is much more to stay. However, on other tracks, like "Rosanna" and "I won't hold you back", the mix is effective. The rears so over power the mix that the lyrics are lost. However, there are moments in the mix where the rear channels become too dominant. The sonics are acceptable for an 80's release. The word that pops into my head is "uneven". Compared to other digital versions I have heard, IV in stereo is the best you can get. This new version has an improved stereo mix w/o the pops. It was so bad that I avoided SACD for almost 1 year after. This was one of my very first SACD purchases. The original stereo only release was marked by lackluster sonics and annoying pop sounds that were sprinkled throughout the disc. Sony has released this disc twice, with the second being this multi-channel/stereo release. Toto made it big with their best album IV.
