Having traded in lead singer
Bobby Kimball for Fergie Frederiksen, a smooth tenor wailer
in the tradition of Journey's Steve Perry, Toto proceeded to

minus the aching ballads that had made Journey such a success.
A workout for drummer Jeff Porcaro,
keyboardist David Paich, and guitarist Steve Lukather, Isolation

It seemed intended to restore
the band members' heady studio reputations as hard rock technicians,
which it did by dispensing with the elements that finally had
made the band a big success in 1982.
