Considered one of the masterpieces of rock, it was the most successful album of 1982 after Michael Jackson's "Thriller", a work curiously where the members of Toto also collaborated.
"IV" is a very elaborate and millimetrically arranged and produced album, with infinite influences.
After two well-made albums such as "Hydra" and "Turn Back", the band was pressured in that year by the mediocre sales that both albums had had, so they were on the ropes and had to express their ideas to make a work that combines quality and commerciality and take it to the top of the hit lists and thus show its enormous instrumental mastery that all its components treasured.
At this point the band would show their enormous maturity making a coherent and perfectionist album that would excel them even more than they already were.
The entire album is a masterful collection of songs like "Rosanna", "I Won't Hold You Back", "Make Believe" or "Africa" ... which would lead them to win six Grammy Awards.
