Boston by Boston

Pros: Incredible debut album - not a bad track on the disc.
Cons: Some songs may sound a little dated.

Back in my day, when I would have to trudge through 2 feet of snow for 14 miles just to get to school, there weren't literally thousands of musical artists all vying for a piece of your hard-earned money with their so-called musical talents. No, in my...

Pros: Crisp, Clean production, powerful songs.
Cons: Not quite up to the standards of it's follow-up album.

Boston's self-titled debut album is classic in every sense of the word. Although personally I give it 4 Stars because Quality-Wise these songs aren't up to the level of their second album. That's a minority opinion for sure, feel free to disagree. 1976 ...

Pros: Innovative, unique sound, Tom Scholz's guitar work
Cons: Sound was probably hard to recreate in concert

When I last checked a few years ago, Boston's self-titled debut album, released in 1976, was the best-selling debut album in history, by any artist. I don't know if this remains true today, but it is easy to see why this album was on the No. 1 perch for...

Pros: "More Than A Feeling," "Foreplay/Long Time," "Let Me Take You Home Tonight."
Cons: Chock full o' drivel! Fun!

Boston. Technically brilliant, but oftentimes coming up short in the 'raw emotion' category, the band nevertheless has crafted some of the most enduring rock anthems of their decade.

Responsible for a great deal of Boston's sound are guitarist...

Pros: Every song is simply amazing. This album shines even after 20 years.
Cons: None. If you like classic rock, get this album.

I'm sorry it took me so long to continue my series of Boston CD reviews, but after my 'Corporate America' review, I decided to listen to it for a bit, and I've grown to like it. But enough about that CD, let's talk about the greatest CD of all time....

Pros: Excellent
Cons: none

I think they are a part of musical history. The guitar work on the album is incredible and I think they pretty much started the "Dual" lead concept. I've seen bands since doing the same thing with guitars and production. Dual leads were big in...

Pros: An excellent album, I never skip a track!
Cons: Not long enough.

In 1976 I was only 4 years old and with my stepbrother listening to bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Fleetwood Mac and more, nothing will bring back the memories better than the Boston self-titled album. I remember the opening of “More than a Feeling”...

Pros: great songs with wonderful crunchy guitar licks and nice understated lyrics, a testament to everything 70s rock represented
Cons: may sound generic after awhile to some, a little short

Boston never made a great album again after this wonderful one but that doesn't matter in the long run as this album stands as a testament of what 70's rock was. Catchy riffs, sing-along lyrics and just a hell of a lot of fun.

...

Pros: The best produced album ever; every song is a classic.
Cons: NONE - ABSOLUTELY NONE.

One of the greatest selling debut albums, Boston is essential to any rock and roll CD collection. This album is a greatest hits album in itself, with all 8 songs STILL receiving tons of airplay on radio stations throughout the country. A little history...

Pros: timeless
Cons: the younger folks have no idea what they're missing!

"More Than A Feeling" is the BEST song ever in the world and Boston's "Boston" is the BEST album ever in the world. This is one that can be listened to over and over without getting bored with it. And the album art is great, too....

Pros: 8 tracks of top-notch classic rock
Cons: Follow-ups disappointing, spawned Journey

Boston's 1976 debut album is by far my favorite rock album of the '70s. 8 tracks long, and every one scored at least a minor radio hit, many still being spun on classic rock stations. Everybody knows "More Than A Feeling," probably the...

Pros: BEYOND AMAZING! MUSIC PERFECTION
Cons: Never to be reproduced again

Okay, here goes... I am a guitarist... and when that first album was released, I practically wore the frets off my guitar trying to learn all those amazing licks on that album. 25 years later, I'm still working on them, but I have most of the chops down ...

Pros: Essence of 70's hard rock--catchy rhythms
Cons: Limits of recording equipment can be detected at times.

When Boston released their self-titled album in 1976, I immediately pooled my babysitting money and bought it. Every one of the songs on the album was fantastic, and all made it to AM radio airplay. I never understood why they weren't big hits on...

Pros: "More Than A Feeling" and other classic rock songs.
Cons: Everything sounds like "More Than A Feeling."

The earliest and best maxi-single ever released; not only do you get the awesome, heavenly, consciousness-blowing rocker "More Than A Feeling," but you also get some great bonus tracks: "More Than A Feeling ('Peace Of Mind' Remix)", "More Than A Feeling...

Pros: Well thought-out and well written music, all the way through.
Cons: Not as "in your face" as some might wish.

This album was made in the 70's as you may or may not have already known. But that isn't the reason why i listen to their music, because that isn't my generation. All of their songs are beautifully written. It was made during the "guitar-solo...
