I got my dad Error on vinyl and the booklet folds out into a poster of the album cover and the lyrics are on the other side. So, you can hang it up either way if you wanted to. One vinyl is white and the other is blue. My dad was really surprised by that since he's used to old school black vinyl.

The Fates Warning record…. I’m not sure this is the right Fates Warning for me. It just sounds like a less than essential Queensryche clone to my ears. Nothing was bad per say, but it kinda got tiring quickly. I wonder if I’d get more mileage out of their early stuff… I may get hate for this but I think FW are one of the most boring bands with some of the flattest production ever. Queensryche, Savatage, Dream Theater, Symphony X exist, so I definitely don't feel left out not liking FW. I tried numerous albums but nothing stuck, and nothing felt like "maybe a few more listens will do it". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the production comment, flat is exactly how I’d describe it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a lot of new vinyl comes with goodies and in color these days. It used to be much much rarer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Speaking of soul sucking albums.......this is always fun. Toto-IV (6/10) I gave it a 6 because i do like a handful of songs Rosanna I Won't Hold you Back Make Believe (is ok at best) Afraid of Love The rest is some of the most dull slick music i've ever heard. i still maintain Africa's one of the worst hit singles i've ever heard. I used to sing i guess the plane's down in Africa i like mine better, lol My least fav Toto by miles. Mick 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The production may have been it. They have good songs but yeah, nothing really popped for me with them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off on a tangent , what do you think of It Bites ? 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Yeah Mick , it’s not in my Top 8 Toto albums neither …. although ironically it’s the album that .. 1) Got me into Toto ! 🙃 2) and from there, due to the few Hard Rock tracks on the album, and Luke’s 2 amazing 🎸 solos on Rosanna, converted me into a blissfully unaware pop fan into the more under the radar Hard Rock Scene It was CBS/Columbia , their Record Company at the time that forced the guys hand, and made them put out a soft pop/soul record which would appeal to the ‘ ignorant masses ! ‘ If they made another hard rock album to follow up ‘ Turn Back ‘ and sales hadn’t improved, they would have been dropped. Unfortunately, it’s the music BUSINESS and not the MUSIC business ! 😕 Edited April 3, 2023 by Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT.........a Grammy does not a good album make. and if folk genuinely like it......i bless your Rain's in Africa, lol Me......I just find this album Incredibly cynical and slick. It's the same reason Aja's not my fav Steely Dan (though Aja on the whole is a WAY beeter record...so but it just is, lol) people can dismiss me all they want but this album is a bread on bread sandwich with little meat too it, IMO.

Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Today , following on my recent rekindled obsession with early original Francis Dunnery, It Bites. ( ‘86-‘90 ) I’ve tried some newer Era It Bites with John Mitchell as frontman on vocal and 🎸 The Tall Ships (2008) 8/10 - pretty good 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
