New Additions: The Price Of Progression by The Toll

I didn't know quite what to make of The Toll before I actually got the debut album The Price Of Progression and listened to it. On the one hand, they were on Geffen Records for both their releases, and had some very solid-to-big names appear on the album (Mick Ronson on guitar for a song, Lenny Pickett of Tower Of Power on sax for a song, etc.), yet when I brought the album up to some folks, there was a dismissiveness. I will say, after dropping the needle on the vinyl, the production is very 80s and doesn't do this band any favors. I sought out some live clips on YouTube, as the line was, "great live band, albums don't do them justice," and maybe that's the way to go.
