Falling in Between is the twelfth studio album (though counted as the 13th album overall — see Toto XIV) by American rock band, Toto. The album was released in Europe on February 14, 2006 on the Italian label Frontiers Records, and in the United States on April 18, 2006. The album contained its only single Bottom Of Your Soul, which had a summer edition. The band supported the album with a world tour. It was the band's first studio release since Through the Looking Glass in 2002, the last one with lead vocalist Bobby Kimball and the only one with keyboardist/vocalist Greg Phillinganes. Phillinganes originally began playing with Toto as a touring replacement for David Paich, who had retired from the road. Another Porcaro brother, Steve, continues to work in the studio with the band, though he also retired from touring following the Fahrenheit album in 1987. Similarly, Lenny Castro has never been a member of the group, but has consistently contributed to their recordings since their first album in 1978. This is also the band's last studio album to feature bassist Mike Porcaro and drummer Simon Phillips; Porcaro retired from touring in the following year due to symptoms of ALS taking away the use of his hands and died in 2015 (though he would posthumously appear on the 2018 album Old Is New on 3 tracks; "Fearful Heart", "Spanish Sea" and "Oh Why?"). Phillips left the band in 2014 to focus on his solo career.
AllMusic's review of the album was mixed (3.5/5), considering the first half of the album overly safe and commenting that Toto was "a band trying to find itself during a midlife crisis." However, they praised Steve Lukather's vocals and the band's "amazing production values".[1]
