10. Don’t Stop Me Now
“Miles Davis plays his lonely horn against Lukather’s rock guitar. Miles’ appearance on an album of a west-coast rock/pop band was totally unexpected. He must have been just as determined as the band to get back in the limelight.”
9. Could This Be Love
“Listen to “Could this be love”, with those amazing dead-on chorus backing vocals, and gorgeous ending modulations – and feel yourself recapture that youthful first love, that first crush, those first sensations you perhaps never knew you had, or thought you had forgotten.”
8. Fahrenheit
“After the quite boring Isolation-album, I am happy that Toto took a different turn on Fahrenheit and changed their leadsinger from the high-pitched, heavy-rock sounding Fergie Frederiksen to the more soulful Joseph Williams.”

7. Can’t Stand It Any Longer
“Can’t Stand it Any longer is an urgent song. and perhaps the best vocal from Williams on here. Listen to him go towards the end…….WOW. Of course what Toto album would be complete without a Lukather Ballad.”
6. We Can Make It Tonight
“Listen to “We can make it Tonight” and feel yourself transported back to those halcyon summer nights with a (real or imagined) first love, the innocence that faded long ago. It’s all right there, in those blistering, emotional tracks. However, as always with Toto, don’t mistake happiness and hopefulness with shallowness – there’s always that undercurrent of thoughtfulness and restraint, a perfectionist’s attention to taste and penchant for balance.”
5. Till the End
“Williams impact is immediately felt in the opener Till the End, A high energy song Written by Paich and Williams. Williams belts this tune out with all he has, and you just know he’s right for this group.”

4. Without Your Love
“We slow things down with Without your Love. A Paich penned tune about love lost. Sung from the heart by Steve Lukather. Once again Great solo from luke here. When these guys are on their on.”
3. I’ll Be Over You
“The obvious big hit was “I’ll Be Over You” (which was actually covered years later and released in a smooth jazz version), but there are so many other good songs on this.”
2. Somewhere Tonight
“The soothing Somewhere Tonight slips into smooth, sultry, I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-Michael Jackson style serenading. Fahrenheit is a beautiful Toto album. And that’s really saying a lot.”
1. Lea
“A simply beautiful Ballad written by Steve Porcaro. With Backing vocals provided by Eagles founder Don Henley. “Lea” is a very surprising standout with it’s consistently slow tempo and sort of dream-like sound.”
