Boston

Great memories. Great album

just so very average. a bit better than I expected but still unimpressive

i’ve loved this album for ages, makes me very nostalgic bc i grew up listening to it with my parents a lot

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.

A great start to the album one of the best rock songs the rest of the album doesn’t quite reach the heights of the first few songs but still a good album 4/5

Dad vibes

Never listened to this album because I figured after hearing “More Than a Feeling” unsolicited easily over a 100 times in my life, I’d heard enough Boston. Just kinda assumed it’s your prototypical hard rock album from the mid 70s. And that’s exactly what this is. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The compositions are all very well put together and very rockin. But I’m not vibin. I don’t hate it and I understand why it’s here but I’m not over the moon. This is exactly what I expected. It’s fine.

Great album

While they may have been contemporaries of Foreigner, these men are no Foreigner. This album is chock full of late 70's radio hits about fuckin' though. The kind of stuff that makes 80's kids reminisce about rides in Buicks, and pool parties and drunk uncles with too short cut off jean shorts. 3.5*

Alright. Couple good singles

Good classic rock album, some catchy songs and good riffs.

Pretty schlocky mid 70's US Rock. Some good tunes but the style is one I just can't stand.

Well the art works good at least

Decent album. Nice soft rock

Lots of classics. I feel like I’ve heard all these songs before even if I didn’t necessarily know who the band was when I heard them.

"More Than a Feeling" "Peace of Mind" "Foreplay/Long Time" "Smokin'" Classic with Banger Songs

Fantastic!

Fantastic album, it put me in a great mood

I rather enjoyed this ablum. I thought it was quite neat and interesting.

A very solid, albeit cheesy, classic rock album that is technically proficient with a noticeable amount of soul. 7.9/10

I liked it, especially the use of electric organ. And the bluesy song was less stereotypical than most blues songs which I appreciated.

“More than a feeling” is nostalgic bop but the other tracks kinda blended together. Too much noise for me :-/ felt similar to T-Rex

more than a feeling: quiero ser la marianne / peace of mind: total mood esta canción la verdad / foreplay-long time: me aburrí en la mitad / rock & roll band: que lindas vibes está pa un roadtrip / hitch a ride: meh / something about you: horrible, es todo lo que te dice un hombre desp de manipularte / smokin’: que aburrida, aunque el primer minuto está bueno / let me take you home tonight: ‘i’ve watched you for so long that i feel i've known you’ me representa como buena stalker que soy

"MORE THAN A FEELING" - noooo, qué temón, me hace acordar al oh oh oh its magicccc you knoww, y ahí is more than a feeling when i hear that old song they used to play... (5/5). // "PEACE OF MIND" esta canción me la imagino fumando un puchito con una tormenta de fondo, caminando pa casa después de haber desaprobado un examen de la facu (5/5). // “FOREPLAY / LONGTIME” me hace acordar a una de queen, pero no se a cuál, y la baja q dure como 10 minutos, pero muy wena (4/5). // “ROCK AND ROLL BAND” la usaría en el soundtrack de dragonballZ (3/5). // “SMOKIN’” nueva para mis oídos (3/5). // “HITCH A RIDE” muy linda, me da miedo cuánta gente la habrá usado para personas q murieron (5/5). // “SOMETHING ABOUT YOU” al principio me encantó pero después fue too much (3/5). // “LET ME TAKE YOU HOME TONIGHT” linda (3/5).

Not bad, but it doesn’t work for me.

Peak dad rock. This dad approves.

Не совсем мой стиль музыки, в целом неплохо, но переслушивать не стал бы. Не дослушал до конца. Long Play достаточно фанковый!

cool

Not a classic rock fan, but this album has undeniable hits that are still staples 35 years later. A godfather of the blues rock genre. Songs tend to go longer than they should, but im guessing they were written with the live show in mind, where they would have been fucking epic in 1976. I guess Boston is a little better than the Eagles.

Strong start to the album, back half a little weaker. 3.5 if i could

So many bangers. Peace of Mind. Smokin’.....

1st track's a classic. Not really my kind of music but it's got some cool sounds, experimental, some decent structured songs. I imagine influenced Thundercat a bit, 80s sounding guitar/keyboard stuff. Prob a hit ahead of its time. 3/5

Sounds undeniably consistent, and incredible, but gets kind of one-note despite how fun that note is.

Classic but every song sounds the same

Great Rock album, all timer. Hit after hit. Truly good songs

Classic album by a classic band

Every song is a hit that stands up today. Didn't understand that this is a near perfect pop rock album as I've heard all of these songs for years on radio.

Heavy de pelo escardado, más cercano al sonido ochentas que al setentas. Más allá del single que abre el disco, ganan mucho cuando se acercan a los largos desarrollos del progresivo. Se atisban melodías pop y countries pero es heavy clásico. Escuchable pero no de mi estilo.

Meh

In the summer of 1976, the radio propaganda drumbeat for Boston's debut was omnipresent: \"Better music through science!\" was the tagline--silly but memorable. When Tom Scholz presented the demos he had painstakingly assembled in his basement studio, the record company suits balked. \"You might have something here if you re-recorded it in a real studio,\" I imagine they intoned. Scholz dutifully re-recorded the music and gave the suits the original tapes: \"Much better!\" they roared. Scholz wasn't being a wiseass--he just couldn't recover the magic he created in his home studio. And Boston's debut album is kind of magical, in a low brow way. Yes, the prologue Foreplay is cheesy, bordering on risible, and the double time coda of Let Me Take You Home Tonight barrels right past that--it makes me cringe every time I hear it. But Boston's debut album functioned as the template for arena rock and for good reason. The playing is tight, the sound is impeccable, the melodies soar, and every song is crammed to the rafters with hooks. It richly deserved to be the smash it was. Now, I realize that by today's standards, this music sounds hopelessly naïve and sincere, but I can't hold that against it. Nor am I going to dun it because of a lack of ambition. For a poppy, candy-colored, rock 'n roll confection concocted to appeal to the masses, Boston's debut album is just shy of perfect.

Perfect

Sometimes I hear the James Gang, sometimes Steve Miller, even a touch of the Eagles with a Thin Lizzy guitar riff. Cant make my mind up on this album.

.

Nunca pensé que me fuera a gustar un disco de Boston pero ese twin guitar attack está bien verga.

rock symp

Easy listening but nothing I’ll come back to

Generic like Chris Gunter

Great band and this album is almost a greatest hits. Thinking about this great MIT grad Tom Scholz makes me wonder how Yichao is doing... I hope well

That was an extraordinarily enjoyable 40 minutes - which I really enjoyed as an album length but I imagine pissed people off back in the day. Half of these are classic rock anthems, but I really liked the others too. The sound is consistent and not too varied but I love it.

Some fun bops for sure.

Classic rock. Whats not to like?

Peaked too early with More Than a Feeling

Pues me pareció ok. Pero no lo volvería a escuchar, un rock bien hecho y ya supongo. La que más me gustó es la famosa more than a feeling. Mood: Tea Party

Cool album

5

Muy bueno, rock y temazos

A couple of interesting tracks, but no duds or shiners. What I think of as stereotypical classic rock, not much substance.

I heard some songs in my life, its cool i like it, i like classic rock

Had the cassette. Perfect for the drive from Ft Worth to Dallas and back. Played air guitar the entire way to the Cotton Bowl.

Love a nice short album that doesn't drag on with stuff I would never listen to

I don't "love" Boston. Not for any real reason but mainly just fatigue. That said, this album is pretty much banger after banger and each song elicits a special memory or lack of memory like getting black out drunk at various south bend bars and watching shitty dude-centric movies in the aughts where the director was probably like 'I dont know... lets just play more than a feeling over this scene'

Not for me.

Classic rock, great album.

Very fun album.

Loved it !!

La verdad no me sonó nada distintivo, pero espero que lo haya sido para el momento. Debe ser algo así, por el año, como que luego hubo copycats de Boston???. Eso o quizá no le puse tanta atención y pasó sin pena ni gloria. No hay favs. 7/10

Epic powerhouse record front to back with weaknesses. I put it in my top 100 rock albums of all time! (mic drop...with sleeveless concert tee on, haha)

What an awesome debut album with sounds that clearly changed the direction of rock music. A top notch rock album!

Insta-5. What even can be said?

AOR per de bueno. Tema spotentes, con ese sonido M80 tan característico

Good 80s rock album

I enjoyed this. And More Than a Feeling is still a great song.

yarr

Didn't realise they did "More than a feeling" so pretty good and some cool riffs

God, even if you don't like this type of rock, this record does not QUIT. And I love it.

Amazingly good album.

Great Album to jam out to

Awesome stuff! Hard rock turns power pop. I really enjoyed this. Thought I'd only heard "More Than A Feeling" before, but recognized "Foreplay/Long Time", which I'm naming fave track, from a bunch of TV shows and loved hearing the whole thing!

Short and fun.

Perfect classic rock. 10/10 1. Peace of Mind 2. More Than a Feeling 3. Hitch a Ride

Classic, bbq music

my brother thought "more than a feeling" was called "morgan freeman" until he was like 11. this is some great grilling music.

Solid. You already know all the hits, though i was pleasantly surprised that the remaining tracks are also enjoyable continuing with the Boston sound.

A classic but standard album. A bit lack luster at points

I was never a big fan of Boston, although I liked them better than Journey or Styx, who I think of as the same genre. I can appreciate the songs and the production though. 2.5 stars.

Fantastic album. Pretty much every song bangs

Has to be one of the better albums of the 70's and that is saying a lot. So many classics. What a debut!

Classic rock at its finest

It was a great album. Definitely frontloaded with a less memorable B-side.

Basically hit after hit. one of my fav

Boston

how can someone listen to this album and not get a raging boner of epicness?

I'm now listening to the self-titled debut album of the band Boston. It opens with "More than a feeling" and it's one of the more recognizable songs for people of my generation. It's been played a thousand times on a thousand different classic rock stations throughout my life. Two for Tuesday! Rocktober! Or whatever gimmicky way to sell classic rock to the public. It was very effective, I've met many people who jumped on the classic rock bandwagon and never left. This might sound better if I had not heard all of these songs many times before. I should say it "sounds" very good and the music is very cleanly produced like a lot of music of the time. It's a giant of an album in the classic rock cannon. But I've heard it too many times over the years to really appreciate how great it was at the time. Too bad.

Sunday late 70s chart rock

The album is more than just More Than A Feeling. At least that's what I thought while listening to it. Later on I didn't remember anything about it apart from that hit song. It's good but very repeatable to the point where tge songs blended together into one constant stream of music.

Ultimate dad rock. Great harmonies. Sounds like the 70s!

Didn't really like

Unbridled classic Rock. Brilliant

Surprised that I knew a lot of the songs. Good old school rock all around

A debut with almost all the hits, great songs and moments

Easily one of the best classic rock albums.

Instant 5 star album, this is a quintessential classic rock album. One of the fastest selling debut albums of all time, the first three tracks are instantly recognizable to anyone, they are true classic rock classics. The vocals and instruments, notably the guitars, are so FIRE. Tom Scholz is a musical genius, recording a lot of these tracks in his own basement. This album is a special one and if I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would.

An amazing album, enjoyed every single bit of it!

Fantastic album, borderline progressive Rock to RockNRoll. Top of the heap in the late 70s

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

Stellar album great tracks, great riffs, unique sound. Awesome

Bom demais meu deus. E a página da wikipedia vale a pena ler.

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

false

Some classic 70s rocking, can start sounding a bit samey, but the last rack is a really good change of pace and has a good feeling of finality for the album.

Great album, it's like the epitome of Classic rock. B side is a bit weaker but A side is banging

Ganska gött sound, men det största problemet att musiken är oironiskt. Tänker främst på låten Rock'n'Roll Band.

Idk what I can say about this. One of my favorite albums of all time. Incredible guitar work from Tom Scholz, incredible vocals from Brad Delp, incredible drumming, God I love this album so much

NICE!!! Another 5/7, perfect score!!!

no

Good cheesy rock. Some good tunes but cheesy and probably not my cup of my tea as an album as a whole

Already knew more than a feeling but the whole album is great

Very vanilla

I didn't think that I was super familiar with Boston before today but it turns out they are the soundtrack to every movie ever set in the 70's. Enjoyable listen.

70’er pop/rock, kor, fængende

More than a Feeling put me in a really good mood. I then lost a bit of interest as the album progressed.

Again, not my kind of genre, I'm trying to keep an open mind with rock leaning albums but yeah...

Has some great hits, the rest is kind of filler, overall enjoyable album

Classic. Road trip wind-blowing-in-your-hair type stuff. Standout tracks: Foreplay / Long Time Rock & Roll Band Smokin' Hitch a Ride

Closer to a 3.5. Can be a little basic sometimes, but plenty of super enjoyable pop songs. Reminds me a bit of early Steeley Dan

Good but a little boring for me. I did like some songs tho

I've heard more than a feeling a million times but never checked them out. this was fucking cool, melodies for weeks and good mix of rockin and softin'. 4/5.

awawawawa

This album is fun! Can see where the darkness got their inspiration.
