“This Fall” – What can I say? Simple, powerful and Rock & Roll and a great solo by Steve Lukather.

“Wonder At All” – A sun rises to drive out the sorrow of our hearts, a wonderful song.

“Angelie” – After the songs “Lea” of TOTO or “Young At Heart” of Porcaro Brothers, today a new pearl is born.

Bravo Joseph Williams and all the musicians !!!

Wonder At All:

Is one of the songs that more touch me, together with Angelie.
The lyric is a deep reflection, very personal ( a balance) with a lot of feelings.
The music leads into the time and stop to you in front of your life like a movie.

Angelie:

I love it. Is a real situation or not?!
Is to wake up to a good dream, in a nice morning together with a true love.

This Fall:

Is a powerful song, wildness and dizzy. The guitar accompanist very good to Joseph´s voice.

Wonder At All:
This song has a deep lyric with a little sixty touch in the chorus. As usual Joseph sings with his heart, he puts his soul in this song.

Angelie:
Is beautiful song. The most important is the voice, not the music. This is a background, but the Joseph´s voice is so clearing, so pure that you feel like in a dream.

This Fall:
Is a powerful song, opposite to Angelie. The guitar is so hard and the voice is a complement to the music. Good job Joseph and Lukather.

Joseph’s back with great lyrics.

My favorits are:
Tell me somthing new – a song of hope, not to give up eventhougt love love can be a stuggle. Just listen to your heart at frigtht. Somtimes it’s too easy to give up.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah – made me dance )

Angelie – beautiful but sad lyrics. Great tune. If it wasn’t a song about a girl that left a boy, it could be a me singing that tune. I can feel the sadnes.

All in all a great album.

This Fall – Steve Lukather opens the CD with a powerfull calaboration with Joseph. Joseph commented about how he likes to write songs and this was his example. Both Joe and Steve arranged this song and you have to give props to Emmanual E-Man Cervantes on some powerful drumming on this track. This track could be dangerous to your health if you have a fast car as you will be tempted to turn this track up and gun the car.

Wonder At All – This track obviously comes from deep inside Joe. We all wonder if we can trust our faith in God and the fustration and confusion with Mortality sometime leads us to just throw our hands in the air and wonder if it’s all worth the worry. Joe lost his mother at a very young age and I am sure this has haunted him at some level over the years.

Angelie – According to Joe this track was the most difficult to produce. Credits list Steve Porcaro as producer and arranger. Joe does a great job with all the overlap harmonies. “The truth is that where you are my heart is” says it all. It’s pure love with the haunting emotional feel of Mr. Porcaro and the help of Mr. Lukather as well. I hate when people make me cry!

“This Fall” is a surprising but refreshing start to the album. Pure rock’n'roll. Leaves your jaw open and foot tapping from the very beginning. Joe’s vocals are very strong, and perfect as always. The great guitair work and a matching solo is cream on the top. I really haven’t figured out what the lyrics mean, but I like the song nevertheless.

“Wonder At All” sounds a lot like the Beatles. It took me a bit more time to get into this song. Another song with mysterious lyrics. This song is based on a dream, so I don’t wonder that at all(:-D)

“Angelie” is a really beautiful song with heartbreakingly sad lyrics. I don’t get tired listening to it. On the opposite, I find myself like it more and more all the time.

I like the whole album very much and it is hard to name my favorite song, but I think it is Do ‘Ya. To hear Joe, Bobby and David sing together just makes me happy!

3 amazing songs from Joseph’s new and long awaited album.
“This fall” is a powerful song which could featured on a Toto record. This is the “Rock” side of Joseph Williams.
“Wonder at all” is the cousin of “I am alive” from Joe’s third album. Catchy tune with great background vocals on the chorus.
“Angelie” is my favorite song from this album. This is the soft melodic side of joseph, I prefer. A smooth clear voice on a beautiful melody that create a magic atmosphere.
