Toto IV on SACD sucks profusely.
Poor Mastering. Total injustice of the format. Someone must have not listened to it or had a horrible room, was just plain ignorant or all of the above.
It could have been done better running a set of auratones in a public restroom.

LMFAO! Bill, how do you
really feel? That is some funny shit.
I don't remember which song it was, so nobody will have to worry about being incriminated, but I recall seeing a Toto video on TV years ago, and the solo was inaudible. My guess was that the solo was mixed in stereo and accidentally out of phase? Oops! Like I always say, check your mixes in mono before printing them!
OK, time for one of my very funny Lukather stories: I'm at a BBQ 10 years ago and Luke is there. Everybody there, including myself, was in ther 20s except for Luke, and I was the only person aside from the host who knew him. We are sitting around a table and getting into a nostalgic '80s music conversation, naming different bands that were hallmarks of the era. Somebody says, "How about Toto?" This was met with an immediate "I hate that fucking band," and people start bitching about Toto, etc. Luke raises his hand and says, "Thank you very much. That's my band." He turns to me and says something like "You know you've made it when people sit around talking about how much they hate your band."
He took it really well though. I'm sure he was really concerned what these kids thought as he climbed into his $120,000 sports car and drove back to his multi-million dollar home. It was a pretty funny moment though, and he saw the humor in it, which is good, because since he dishes it out regularly, it's nice to see that he can take it, too. I cracked him real good (I mean, just brutally) before the afternoon was over, but that's a story for another time.
