Toto XX: 1977–1997 is a compilation album by Toto to celebrate their 20th anniversary. The album features rare original demos, outtakes, previously unreleased recordings and live tracks from the band's 20-year career. Despite its being labeled as a compilation album, Steve Lukather in 2014 defined the album as the tenth studio album overall (see Toto XIV).
The first single released, "Goin' Home" was recorded during Bobby Kimball's brief first reunion with the band in 1989, prior to the record company's decision to replace him with new lead singer Jean-Michel Byron. The song had later been recorded by the band's then former singer Joseph Williams and released on his 1997 album 3.
The song "In a Word" was first featured on Fahrenheit's lead single, I'll Be Over You. but it was never part of the album




Reception


Stephen Thomas Erlewine originally commented on AllMusic that "Essentially, this is a Toto reunion album, featuring nine new studio cuts and four live tracks" and said that the material was more similar to that on Tambu than the band's most recent studio album. Erlewine praised the performances but concluded the release to be "not particularly interesting to anyone except hardcore fans". A later AllMusic review was more positive, commenting on "soaring vocals" and "stunning instrumental", and acclaiming that the "powerful musical talent that makes up this group has always been in high gear".




Track listing



"On the Run" (Recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival '91) and "Dave's Gone Skiing (Instrumental)" (Recorded at the Standard Bank Arena, Johannesburg, South Africa in 1997) were omitted from the All In 1978–2018 release of this album.
