Ever Changing Times starts of with the title track which could have been on any Toto album. It’s a guitar driven song with a synthesizer intro, culminating in a multi-vocal chorus. In short it has all the classic ingredients and is very recognizable. Listening through this album I could hardly distinguish it from a regular Toto album. There are songs that don’t have the big predictability label printed on it like ‘Jammin with Jesus’. (You sure got to love that title) But the bulk of the material is one big old fashioned AOR trip down memory lane like the nineties never happened.

 

Now does this mean the album is bad? No, it is a well played album, but that is no surprise if you have performed on hundreds of records. That it is why I give the album 70 percent score. Cause really on the compository level, master guitar player Steve Lukather should have come up with better idea’s and write more memorable songs. Because the music goes into one ear and pops out the other. Next!
