I'm not hearing any lower register resonance. His vocal tone sounds reedy and thin to me... not the same Arnel who had power to burn through the Dirty Dozen.
IMHO - Arnel has either injured his voice or it has changed via wear from singing Journey songs...
He's had access to vocal training, and Cain is also a pretty good vocal teacher... so it can't be for lack of technique.
The only other explanation is that whoever mixed this EQ'd out his lower register resonance...
... and I'm listening to this in recording studio through a high-end DAC and expensive AKG cans...

One of my favorite songs of all time. I wore out my cassette copy of Toto IV in the summer of 83.
At the 2:43 mark, the original has an intensity that is missing here. Even when I listen to the 2015 version with Lukather singing live, his voice is much raspier and obviously 35 years older, but the intensity is there. It's not here. Love Arnel and it probably isn't fair to compare him to the original, but then again he put it out there.
