“Toto”の前身が響かせるソフト・ロックの深み
ジョー・ウィザートのプロデュースによるポップ／ロックとブルー・アイド・ソウルの融合を特徴とする作品である。アルバムはビルボード200で最高11位まで達した。
後にToToを結成するセッションミュージシャンたち、特にスティーヴ・ルカサーが参加している点が際立つ。ホーンやストリングスのアレンジを取り入れた多彩なサウンドは、前作『Silk Degrees』の流れを受け継ぎつつも成熟した音世界を提示しており、スキャッグスの歌唱と演奏の深化が感じられる作品である。特に「Gimme the Goods」を筆頭に、本作でドラムを務めたジェフ・ポーカロの鬼気迫る名演にも注目したい。
