Rock triumph, TURN BACK flew beneath the radar and barely caused a blip on the charts before disappearing from sight. The fact that their follow up album Toto IV has won an unprecedented seven Grammys and contained three top 10 hit singles only seems to emphasize the point. Originally issued in 1981, it found the band taking a far more aggressive approach, dialing down the keyboards and upping the guitar quota by a considerable margin. Once again, much of the material was written or co-written by David Paich but the songs are tougher and far more dynamic than their previous work. Much of this was due to the enlistment of renowned British co-producer Geoff Workman who provided a raw, heavy sound.
