Kingdom of Desire

Toto

A heavy, guitar-forward departure from the band's soft-rock roots. Darker, grittier, and marked by the final, masterful performances of drummer Jeff Porcaro.

This is the one where Toto actually gets heavy and lets the guitars roar.

A heavy, muscular exploration of late-night tension and technical brilliance.
