Boston

They are fine, it is just hard to tell if I am listening to Journey, Foreigner, or Boston.

It's Boston. It all sounded very much like Boston, in a very Boston kind of way.

God this shit sucks so bad. Annoying, pompous, generic, dorky, pretentious corporate arena rock slop. One of my least favorite bands ever.

I quite enjoyed the opening two tracks- ‘More than a feeling’ and ‘piece of mind’ I felt like I was American, had big hair, a massive moustache and lived in the early 80s… Unfortunately part way through track 3 I realised I have and am none of those things! Disappointed Best track- ‘peace of mind’ Worst track- ‘let me take you home tonight’ 3/10

Boston Awful. Simply awful. Every rock cliche in the book but these go up to 11. Best Track - that godawful Shrek song Worst Track - all of them but especially the misogynistic crap of Let Me Take You Home Tonight 1/10

ew

Music is tragic and the sleeve a horror, designed by the much-respected Paula Scher and illustrated by Roger Huyssen for Epic Records, Scher, who once designed covers and worked as an art director for major artists such as The Rolling Stones, admits she's “mystified” by the continued interest in this album package. “The Boston cover was designed in 1976 and is now 39 years old,” she says. “It was, and still is, in my opinion, a mediocre piece of work.” The Atlantic 2015 (edited) A space-shaped guitar destroying Earth - what were they thinking?

i am not into arena rock

Meh. A little too heavy rock for me.

#371/1001. Coprolites are fossilized feces (from dinosaurs, mammals, etc.). When cut and polished they can show internal textures and sometimes mineralization that produces attractive patterns and a glossy finish. What else is this Boston album?

Could not even finish this one

Epic rock 70's, no mi onda. Para final de peli yankee de la época.

I’ve never liked their famous song lol.

It might be a Canadian thing but when I hear “More Than A Feeling” the first thing I think of is how that song was used in commercials for the mediocre and bizarrely-named pizza chain Boston Pizza in the 90s. I’m not mad about it though, because this is music that seems like it was always destined for the suburban strip mall. There’s no sense of rebellion here, it’s rehearsing the motions but there’s nothing behind the slick production. It sold millions of copies, but of course it did.

Cant stand them

This album feels so generic.. every song seems the same.

Music for people who think goatees are cool.

More than a feeling: pretty okay but it sounds like 30 other songs Peace of mind: same as the first one Foreplay/Long time: same issue again.. i dont know if i wanna finish listening to this cuz i legit just sounds like the same thing over and over and i dont like that Rock & roll band: meh Smokin': a little better but still not good.. Hitch a ride: im genuienly just waiting for this album to be over this one actually started out decent and went bad halfway thru Something about you: it literally sounds the same as the other songs Let me take you home tonight: mid as fuck Overall rating 1/10. it isnt my type of album but i understand if people like it. i just find it boring how similar the songs are to eachother

- I don't find that this music has any soul... it's dad rock at its most dad rock. It's bland and overproduced. Just boring long guitar and keyboard riffs/solos that don't leave any emotional impact and lyrics and melodies that don't stick. Yeah, dude can play the guitar well, but it just isn't fun to listen to - it feels like he's showing off that he knows his scales and runs. - More than a Feeling is good, but it doesn't make up for the rest of the (boring) songs. Case in point - this album is from a well-known band made in 1976, and I'd only heard one song off of it (and wish it had stayed that way). - I'm not into the lead singer's voice, either - it feels strained and whiny/yelling. - This gets a 1 for leaving 0 impression except being bored and wanting it to be over. - Tom Scholz sounds like a controlling narcissist.

Nop

Only because zero is not an option

Boston Cream Pie.

I do not like Boston every radio station in America plays their songs incessantly; pure unadulterated yeech.

I don't think anyone from Massachusetts identifies Boston as a true local band. Aerosmith, Cars, Modern Lovers - absolutely. Boston (the band) is a soulless, placeless disgrace.

Seriously???

Nah not for me

Not my kind of music

Does anyone like Boston? I know they’re big in America but I’ve never met a fan. Better than I expected, but I had very low expectations based on the hit. Which is clearly their only salvageable song. Every song overstays its welcome and has hideous unnecessary keyboard swoops and a braindead guitar sound. The singer is shrill. Two songs are especially egregious (Rock n Roll Band and Smokin) chugging ratatatat pub band blues rock with an expensive surface studio sheen. If I could give zero I would every day and twice on Sundays.

Pish.

Boston is boring

okay, i honestly gave this a good try. made it like 3 tracks in. but being the gen z'er that i am, it's quite difficult to listen to "dad rock" with an unbiased ear. i can't divorce it from the corniness i associate it with. boston was no exception -- nauseating late 70s bullshit. i would have committed to listening to the whole thing if i felt any confidence that my opinion would change even a little. sorry

formulaic 70s rock

MOR AOR. As if I'd f asked AI to create a generic 1970s rock album.

En låt

Perfectly Smooth Rock Music. Very bland. No idea why this is on the list. This is my 2nd album and if this is the caliber of recommendation (already extremely widely known AND not very good) I doubt I'm making it through 1001.

Off the cuff remark: every rock cliché in the book. Unfortunately not even funny. It gets a star for More Than A Feeling Revisit?: Hell no

"Rock and roll band, everybody's waitin' / Getting' crazy, anticipatin' / Love and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" And that's the lyrical depth you get with this album. I did not enjoy this. 37 minutes of tedious 70s American rock with beer breath and unwashed jeans. Utterly charmless and I'm not sure why this was included on this list of essential albums.

is it a masshole xp to know every song in this album without having ever listened to it

Not for me.

No me gusta

This is everything I hate about rock and roll.

wow its both brassy And tinny!

I know this was big back when I was 8. I thought it was hot garbage then and I still do now.

As a massively popular and big selling AOR rock debut, this deserves to be on this list. But I really don't like it at all. It's the kind of music that made punk so necessary. I have dutifully played this album through.

Not my cup of tea.

there’s something really gross about this record and i can see why cobain was embarrassed by his association with it

Garbage. Always hated this. 1 Star

Not a fan

Joyless pap. Micromanaged to within an inch of its life with all the rock, life and joy sucked out of it. Even steely Dan has joy. This is middle class, no culture white boy rock writ large.if the bland suburbs of middle America or Australia had a soundtrack to wallow in their mediocrity it’s this. If beige was music, it’s this. This is like going to a party where some bore is intent on telling you all about his obsession to the nth degree. Give me something I can dance to. Give me something that moves me. No wonder Maryanne walked away. I’m surprised she didn’t run and then get a restraining order. Give me the who, zeppelin, Springsteen, Tom petty, the kinks, Queen, or even Aerosmith. No wonder punk hit so hard. This is 1976, punk is 1977. Can we really be surprised? The pistols or The clash pee all over this. Let alone the ramones or Television. This album angers me. Tasteless White boys and music. Pah.

Bland rock

Bit dated and boring

No.

God damn it. STOP FEEDING ME DAD ROCK.

Something about Boston. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed them.

Not my vibe

No! I listened and I get how it would’ve been great music in the 70’s, but too cheesy for me. I had hope for the song ‘smokin’ until the keyboard solo, then I lost interest

Yea! Rock music! I can throw a football over a mountain!

All sound the same to me One hit band

Snooze

Svakalega leiðinleg plata, verra en ég bjóst við. Líklega það lélegasta sem við höfum fengið og toppað með ljótasta coveri sem sögur fara af.

Ubiquitous in the ‘70s. Impressive for its sonic advancement at the hands of Tom Scholtz. But ultimately a vapid piece of work with no relevance to the times in which it was created, nor today.

Not a fan

This album was pretty hard to get through.

It was the same sound for every song. I didn't finish listening.

没听完

I prefer music where «rock n’ roll» is never mentioned in lyrics. The best thing about this album is the relatively short playtime.

Terrible.

Not for me. Did not grab my attention at all.

No thanks

This is the Boston album by the band Boston. If you've heard a Boston song before, it's probably here. Full disclosure: I've never been a fan of Boston. I always associate them with being the band you would hear at local festivals rather than an actual big headliner. Re-listening to this album confirms it. I was bored with most of the songs. You'll know by the first song if you like Boston or not because all of their songs sound like it. You can safely stop after "More than a Feeling" (or skip it, because let's face it, it's the worst song on the album) and not miss anything. 'Favorite' Song: #5 Smokin' because that's what this album would be doing if I had a physical copy and tossed it into a fire. Recommend?: No.

Awful. Just the worst kind of music - all pose and no clue.

Zarbali s etoi huiney

Just another band called Boston from Boston. Tv-sarjataustamusiikkia

Ai meneekö toisesta korvasta sisään ja toisesta ulos? Ok, More Than a Feeling jää soimaan päähän, mutta se on ärsyttävyydeltään luokkaa Crazy Frog.

Headbangingly dull.

Usian Bolt's entire career at the highest level can be boiled down into a little over 100 seconds - that's all it took him to win six Olympic medals. Boston's entire top-level career can be boiled down into the 205 seconds that is the radio edit of More Than A Feeling. And just like Bolt's attempts to turn pro football (training with Man United, embarrassing try-out matches with Australian teams), the rest of Boston's career is somewhat pointless and second rate. Really, the second track here makes a decent fist of retreading the formula but after that it's desperate stuff. Chugging seventies boogie with hackneyed lyrics about being in a rock and roll band, having hard times, making it big, wanting girls, absolutely nothing of note here.

Not my cup of tea.

This is a collection of MOR daddy rock power rock songs. I would not even play this in an elevator.

TOO MUCH

this album or band just doesn't do it for me...

HAZIN

It is what it is, and it's not for me.

This website sure is making me listen to the "classics" I've never had much exposure to so-called "dad rock" or "classic rock" so listening to this was like a whole new world. Unfortunately, this kind music is not to my taste whatsoever. It's not inherently bad, It's feel good music! Just not something I would play. Album cover is cool and reminded me of Parliament's "Mothership Connection" but I suppose any UFO themed cover could remind me of that. I will most likely not revisit.

Well the art works good at least

Not for me.
