This was engineered for not beer-drankin'....
It's the same album with censored cover.

Just love their music one of my top 4 bands of all time. But I am an old phart:giggle:

I hear ya! Everyone has a band they’ve followed for the longest! Mine is Toto! Yes, Toto! I know I usually post videos of doom metal and black metal, but Toto has been one of those bands that just captured my attention from an early age...

I think I can answer why you liked TOTO as a youngun....

The Porcaro Brothers. Steve: Keys/lip flappin'. Jeff: drums(badass drums)
Good, solid stuff.

Uhh, what the fuck is doom metal and black metal? Why do we need to break rock down to such stupid labels?
Just askin'? Hey! I have a tape of "lake metal".
What the Phluck...
Yeah, I get the "cookie monster" vocals, the 32nd note bass drums, and the super overdriven geetars. But goddamn... Really?
Anyway Toto was the butt of undeserved jokes.
They did not suck.

Yep, I agree with everything you said... I’m a fan of music! From Toto to Wolves in the Throne Room... and everything in between. You’d be surprised just how many “genres” there are within Metal, but it’s all Rock and Roll!!

It gets too fucking cornfuzing to me. I just don't care about labels.
Does it suck? Does it kick my ass? Does it make make me want to wait 45 minutes and put on my 'phones?

It's subjective for sure, but one thing is certain. No matter what kind of music it is, it is either good or not.

There is material out there that is designed for listening. They put a lot of time and money in to engineering three-dimensionial audio from a stereo source.
The first Albums to feature this particular anal-retentive engineering were Jeff Beck Truth(1967) It's a Beautiful Day(1967) The Who Tommy (1967).
You see, it's all about nuance, even when you're crushing skulls...


Anyway, check out these here guys from 1970's Pennsylvania...

Something's wrong from the moon, my friends
Something's wrong from the moon
As I look down at you my friends
Something's wrong from the moon
Poor little man
You been run down
Poor little man
You're all run down
I can see right through your eyes
I can see right through your weary eyes
I can hear right through your cries
I can hear right through your drunken cries
When they spit, do you wash their floors
And pray that they don't spit no more
Or, rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on

In the dark you cannot see
In the dark the victory is fear
Like a fool you follow fools
Like a fool you follow what you hear
Will they blow us all apart
Or kill us all with virus darts
Or, rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on

On the moon they're laughing hard
On the moon they're falling off their seats
From the moon we're comedy
From the moon we're really quite a treat
Shall we have another beer
And slobber through another year
Or rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on
Rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up

Something's wrong from the moon my friend
Something's wrong from the moon
As I look down at you my friends
Something's wrong from the moon

Hey snake,
check these guys out. It's way before the digi-stomp-boxes and cookie-monster vocals, but it's heavy and in 3-d. Analog electronics. ...and serious tape-manipulation.
All you gotta do is listen.....
Oh yeah, they are one of the pioneers of what would later become the cookie-monster-vocal stuff.
yep,yep,yep!

Yes, that strange instrument is a very overdriven Hammond B-3 through an overdriven Leslie 122. (look it up)

I Was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me "hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said "you're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her "leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Ah

Oh, I want my gypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

Ah
Ah
Ah

Songwriters: DAVID GARRICK, MICK BOX

Snake, you done got me all fired-up now. I have quality material.

You can actually hear what the musicians are doing here.
You can even kinda make out the lyrics...
It's 3-d. (Most "music" is not), it has to be engineered specifically for that.
Sounds real perty:

Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea
Racing on my memories
I'm glad I set my dreams

Tip toe, tip toe quickly
Forget about your cares
And remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air

Wishing on your wishes
Landin on a storm
Knowing when you are dancing
Knowing that's so far

Dance, Dance, faster
Madly dance away
Cause remeber underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air

Well, I saw right now,
Looked at face to face
Don't complain
Never seems too late
No, no, no, no, no...

Ah, cause I'm not sitting
On the golden gate
Love and a peace
And war and hate
No, no, no, no, no...

Well, I'm not gonna
Sit around and wait
All I'm a doing
Is losing my face
Oh, no, no, no...

But we're all
On station that's for sure
Searchin is an endless
Well, there ain't no care

Yup, even this one. Not just the bouncy L-R stuff, it has the engineering.
Maybe some cookie-monster band will cover it...
