Boston

Good vibes, love the playing with rhythm and tempo that they do. Just love me some classic rock.

Groovy shit. I really enjoy me some good classic rock & this album is so iconic. Each song is a trip of it's own, with long, meaningful intros to songs, it's definitely a memorable album. The reason I'm rating it a 3/5 however is because while I know that this album is iconic, it's also nothing super special. I've heard a lot of classic rock bands sound similar, and Boston falls into that pool of bands that don't really stand out to me much when looking at other bands from the same period. Bangers though! It was very easy and fun to listen to and it's definitely going into my collection of albums I enjoy.

lovelovelove

First album from the list I have listened to front to back before (a few times) but not for several months. Regardless of what Boston did after this album (not much), it still holds up today as the first (and arguably best by a lot) arena rock album. I actually enjoyed the b-side of this album a lot more than I thought I would, as the production on this is clear while still being on the heavy side. Probably give this a 4.5, but since any of the songs can also be listened to alone (or with the album), this deserves 5 stars with the generator

What a song to open the album and did not disappoint after

lots and lots of fun i loved it

Enjoyed, but middle of the road & not sure I would go back to often. Good background music, and for the genre very good, but not my genre to begin with. Really liked the first half of Foreplay/Long Time, but specifically when there was no signing, just instrumental.

Look, this is just banger after banger of classic rock hits. What's interesting to me is Boston's roots in classical melodies and arrangement rather than blues. But that doesn't really matter, does it? They don't flaunt it as anything like that. It's not pretending to be some kind of innovative or pretentious statement. Just catchy, well-written tunes with a distinctive sound and big energy. Do I ever put on Boston willingly? No, I don't need to. These are all songs you've heard a hundred times on the radio and in shitty bars and grocery stores, etc. They are part of that ubiquitous American sound of "dad rock". But I just get so many good vibes from them, I can't help but enjoy it.

Imagine dropping your first album and the first three songs are More than a feeling, Peace of mind and Long time. That is just unfair. I can't think of any artist or band that can compete with that? Rest of the album doesn't quite hold the same quality, but it would be almost impossible.

this would sound much better in a car

What an excellent Rock record, made even better by the fact that pretty much all the instruments were played by one dude, tracked in his basement on a homemade 12-track, and it's still one of the best sounding records. Classic album with many classic songs.

Ahhhh legenddddd

I heard More Than A Feeling before and love it. Back on my space rock vibe😌 Reminds me of the Bee Gees and Mr. Blue Sky Only added More than a Feeling and Peace of Mind to playlist, but I like all the songs. There will definitely be some days that I go and feel like playing this album 8/10

Starts off as fun maximalist AOR. It’s hard not to like More Than a Feeling. After that it starts to all blend into a sound I quickly tired of. By Smokin’ I’d already felt like it had gone on for hours. It is also beyond cheesy. Just not a fan of this one.

They managed to make both the perfect representation of a rock album of the era, while also sounding unique A pretty hard feat The bootleg sounds even better.

Great album and a classic.

Full of bangers. Fortunately it's much easier to avoid classic Rock radio stations in the UK. We've never had that many of them and it only takes a moment to change the dial. So I don't suffer from having heard this on repeat for years. I've not listened to it for a while, but had it on cassette back in the 80s. Loved all three of the classic albums, although I probably prefer Third Stage. This is more than half decent though and brings back memories of playing Rockband a few years back. You could always rely on the Boston numbers for a fun time. Yeah, it's cheesy. Yeah, Scholz overplays everything. But he's a fucking genius or these tunes wouldn't be quite as classic as they are.

Classic

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.

Such a pleasure to hear this intentionally.

Seriously???

I was brainwashed by the Boston-area radio stations of the 70s to think this was worth listening to. Turns out that the only local heroes they had were these guys and Aerosmith, at least until the Cars came along. It's not the harbinger of power pop, it's the last gasp of dinosaur rock.

Pretty generic really.

Score: 8.4

No skips! Big fan and many will be added into my regular rotation.

Logan: 9.5/10 Aly: 7/10

Had some good hita

Didn't go as hard as I remember, but its kind of impossible not to like this one at least a little bit.

- More Than a Feeling, bellissima, 5/5 - Peace Of Mind, carina, 4/5 - Foreplay / Long Time, nella media, troppo lunga, 3/5 - Rock & Roll Band, carina, 4/5 - Smokin', carina, 3/5 - Hitch a Ride, non mi dice nulla, 2/5 - Something About You, nella media, orecchiabile, 3/5 - Let Me Take You Home Tonight, nella media, orecchiabile, 3/5 Indeciso su Hitch a Ride

Ok so this is rather cheesy and I somewhat lost interest in the second half but there were definitely some enjoyable tracks. *More Than a Feeling* has always been a song I liked and that lifts this to 3 stars alone.

Another album I already know and love. I didn't even listen to it for this review because I listened to it top to bottom earlier this week purely by chance. But it speaks volumes that I just happen to do that. I won't speak too much on it for this album is immensely famous, and I'd bet good money almost anyone that ever reads this review has head "More than a feeling", one of the most classic album openers on one of the most classic debut albums of all time. I will say, this album is definitely not consistent in quality, the first three songs are genuinely incredible but it does leave the album to be a bit front loaded. This is only alleviated by Smokin' being at the start of the second half, if it were the 4th song on the album however this would be horrendously frontloaded. But as far as influence goes, this album is a literal sharp pivot for American rock and majorly popularised the ideal of it to be a popier, harmonising guitar riffs with multilayer vocals and all. For some I could see why this would not be a good thing but for me, it absolutely is. I adore the sound of songs like "Peace of Mind", the last minute is absolutely excellent and feels like the end of a rollercoaster. That isn't to say this album is just that over and over, Foreplay/Long Time shows the band are certainly more than capable of playing their instruments well and aren't just mixing and covering to hide a lack of talent. If you've never heard a majority of this album I could see it not being anything particularly special to you but as in the first paragraph I can not say it hasn't well held my attention for years, and on release this wouldn't been your only way to hear this sort of sound so I think it's well deserving of this list. Boston never quite lived up to this album again in terms of popularity but that isn't to say this was their only good piece of work, while certainly less unique "Don't Look Back" and "Third Stage" are very deserving of a casual listen. Best songs: Peace of Mind, Foreplay/Long Time Worst song: Let Me Take You Home Tonight Rank compared to everything else so far: 12/21 (Below Heavy Weather, above Play)

Sheer rock perfection. The people who complain about it being *too* perfect sound like the Emperor of Austria telling Mozart his music has too many notes.

Classic. What a debut album! Never one of my favorite bands but you gotta respect the "no filler, all thriller" this album is. The transition from Foreplay to Long Time is flawless.

1 is too harsh but I can't imagine ever listening to this again. 2 it is.

Solid bops good bangers hell yea

This album was alright, although there were no standout songs for me personally.

Already listened to this. great album

more than a feeling

Not a fan. Demasiado vibe rock de gasolinera gringa para mí.

Quickly reached Boston fatigue. Not offensive, but I doubt I'll seek it out again anytime soon.

Better than most of the classic rock we've gotten so far. This album is extra refreshing for being under 40 minutes.

Ben du fun

Great all around. This is the type Music i think of when I hear “rock music”

Good mid 70s rock record. I find Boston’s discography hit or miss overall, but this is a very fun debut rock record.

More than a feeeling

Summer of '76... this album turned the heads of many kids my age. Rick and Roll genius at the time, a little age-worn today.. but a classic nonetheless.

Worth a revisit

esse é muito brabo

Well this album starts with More than a Feeling-one of the greatest single pop/rock songs the US has ever produced. Foreplay/Long Time is a belter of a tune as well. Hitch a Ride and Something About You are great as well. Love the drum fills throughout this album, has all the catchy pop hooks too. One of the absolute best albums ever released. Let me take this album home tonight!

I am actually *shocked* at how much I love this album. I didn't want it to end, and I already downloaded it to listen offline. The sound just teleports you to the 70s in the best way possible, and the lyrics are cheesy (as so many classic rock lyrics are) but interesting, nostalgic, and easy for anyone to connect to.

I said that I wasn't going to give this a 5, however I really enjoyed this. To me it kinda had a little bit of "every song sounds the same" but not in a bad way. The highs on this one are really good and honestly there aren't really any lows. a concise and solid ~40 minutes of jammin

hell yeah

foreplay is awesome....

an MIT engineer recording one of the best-selling (debut)albums of all time in his basement, legendary. It’s More Than a Feeling, and the entire album has this smooth, easy-going rock vibe. Consistently great.

Nah not for me

No time for this sort of thing

Classic 70’s American rock. The lyrics of More than a feeling are simple but so good: about the start of a mundane day, a tune comes on the radio and instantly he’s transported back to a time that reminds him of a girl he once knew. I read that all the tracks were demos, which when you think this went on to sale 17 million is testament to the band’s talent and although not necessarily music I would go to I really respect that 🫡

My parental status has caught up with my humour, but my music taste has not caught up with my parental status. Zero stars. Pile of rubbish

a fun album to listen to

Enjoyed this a lot, Smokin' and Foreplay/Long Time my personal favourites

4.5 (37:37, 8 tracks, debut album, 1976) Arena Rock Album was their debut and plays like a greatest hits album. Was surprised how much I enjoyed this album and that I'm giving it a 5. However, this album I could listen to so many times and it always puts a smile on my face. Not a bad song on it! 1. "More Than a Feeling" 4:45 2. "Peace of Mind" 5:02 3. "Foreplay/Long Time" 7:47 4. "Rock & Roll Band" 2:59 5. "Smokin'" 4:19 6. "Hitch a Ride" 4:11 7. "Something About You" 3:48 8. "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" 4:44

Royalty free rock music

first two songs are bangers at least

One of the most complete Classic Rock albums of all time. End to end bangers. For no other reason, this has to be at least a 4

кажется это лучший дэд рок, который мне тут пришлось слушать! реально понравилось, круть

More Than a Feeling is such a legendary song that it kind of overshadows the rest of the tracks after. Before today I don't think I'd ever heard any other song on this album which is truly a shame. I really enjoyed this first listening experience and I wish more of these Boston songs would be played on the radio. When the guitar comes back in around 2.30 minutes into 'Foreplay/Long Time' I legit got goosebumps. Something that doesn't happen often nowadays. I'm really envious of people who were able to hear this album played during a live show in the 70's because that must've been one of the most hype experiences ever.

way too American for my European ass

I was prepared to hate this and it's...fine. More than a Feeling is the big single. There are sections reminiscent of Deep Purple, Eagles/Maiden style guitar harmonies, even some.full on Crimson style prog, but it"s all a bit dull. Can see why it would have been loved at the time, but do we need another 'History of the band in a song' track? A low 3 for fans of the style, a high 2 for me because I'm bored of it.

Daaaaaaaa

This album is pretty great. I've liked this a lot, and, honestly, there is nothing bad I can say about it. Maybe it's not the most innovative album I've ever listened to, but it is such an enjoyable one. So, even if it's not a masterpiece, it's a solid nine for me. Really good and enjoyable, with some fantastic tracks and a little bit of variety (even though not much).

Most (if not all) songs were great.

Not my kind of music

1976 no excuse. Long boring songs. Excellent musicianship.

Perfection.

classic

Nostalgic. Boston, Cars, foreigner, joe Jackson. Wore those albums out in HS. Boston my favorite of them start to finish

good classic dad rock, some crazy guitar riffs. first two tracks will always be iconic.

Good

Dit is denk ik het essentiele glamrock album. Knaller van een opener met More than a feeling en meteen denk ik "Oohh dit ken ik wel!" Wel benieuwd dan altijd of dit weer een typisch album is dat zn kruit verschiet in het eerste nummer of dat er nog wat pareltjes verderop het album staan. Ja dit rockt echt hard. Doet me best wel denken aan Meatloaf, het hele theatrale en het glamrock achtige. Alleen zijn hier de riffs een stuk harder. Niet elk nummer rockt even hard, met mn ogen dicht is dit eigenlijk gewoon de standaard setlist van Radio Veronica, maar ik denk dat ze dan net mazzel hebben dat ik Radio Veronica op zn tijd best goed trek. Ik vind het ook gewoon lekker klinken, beetje fout, maar wel lekker. 4 sterren is dan ook terecht! Dit is, voor mij, geen complete klassieker/must-listen waar alles perfect op is, maar als ik ooit in een situatie kom waar iedereen om mij heen een rockfanaat is en ik meer dan 3x in een kwartier "Ze maken geen muziek meer zoals vroeger" heb gehoord; Nou dan weet ik precies welk album ik zal aanzetten! FAVO: More than a feeling, Foreplay/Long time, Smokin'

One of the best debut albums ever. None of their other albums even came close.

Some great classics, especially More Than a Feeling

More than a feeling.

To me, this is an essential dad rock album. From start to finish head-boppers (I won’t say bangers). The perfect length of time. I could see how the songs get old if you hear them over and over again on the radio but as an album it’s pretty consuming in a great way— the music just kinda wraps around you. It feels a little like a roller coaster where maybe the music isn’t the most complex but at the end of the day it’s really fun.

Torture, saved by some tunes like the massive hit "More Than A Feeling" but not my kind of music and the first in a long while that I have been tempted to skip.

Je m'imagine Guillaume, radieux, en performance de "air guitar" sur More Than a Feeling.

La définition pure et dure d'un 3 étoiles. Mais pas 3 étoiles Michelin là...

Je me rallie à mes collègues en affirmant que c’est un 3 par excellence. Très middle of the road. More than a feeling est classique, Smokin’ pas si mal, mais c’est tellement générique.

Yes! Actual rock n roll

Very fun

Absolutely iconic and genre defining 70s rock album.

I’ve heard the sound before but didn’t know it was Boston. I liked it

Classic, feel-good 70s rock. Half of these are still, deservedly, radio staples and the rest are pretty good too.

The foundation that classic rock radio was built on. The songs on this album are all in the overplayed hall of fame. There’s a reason that is.

Every now and then I gotta indulge in some the most FILTHIEST classic rock and this manages to fill that urge. It's nothing crazy, but all I have to say is that junk food is good sometimes. Highlight Song/s: More Than a Feeling and Rock & Roll Band

More Than a Feeling! 70er Sound für die Vibes. 10/10 Rock´n´Roll Album 8/10 Insgesamt

This album. No skips!!!

Yeah pretty much a greatest hits but its the whole damn album!

A couple of good tracks, but mostly pleasant American soft rock. Middle of the road country, bland.

Classic album, one of the best debut albums of all time, it seems. I really liked it, even though classic rock is really not my favorite genre. More Than A Feeling, though, is one of my favorite tracks ever. And the Hitch A Ride outro was really amazing.

Sorry I tried

It's fine. I listened to it. How many more times until it just becomes the background music for every single thing ever?

I now understand why we needed punk.

Musik. Folk säger det är "dad rock", kanske om din dad är född på 40-talet. Detta är ju gubbrock!

There's a strange mix of nostalgia and familiarity with this album. Most of that comes from the fact that even after almost 50 years, it's difficult to live a normal life and *not* hear More Than a Feeling at least once a year, probably at the dentist's office or the pharmacy... Favorite: Peace of Mind Underrated: Foreplay / Long Time Would be glad to never hear it again: More Than a Feeling

Look it starts with a bloody banger but it's a bit 80s cheese for me

Really enjoyable if slightly cheesy 80s rock. Twin guitar solos and big choruses are fantastic, not as big on the organs.

Absolutely underrated, both musically and by songwriting.

Alright

muito bom, rock de arena

This is another example of such a classic album. It starts off with a series of rock bangers, songs that immediately feel like you should be cruising in an American v8, windows down, burning out of suburban stop signs for no reason. And yet, listening to it now, I think it's just not my thing. It's not hard enough, imo, to be true hard rock. And if I'm going to listen to stadium rock, I'd rather it be Queen.

I was all set to pan this album, but in good conscience I cannot. If it came out in 1986, I could write it off as bog-standard genre. But released in 1976, it feels kind of prophetic of the wave of hair metal to come. And despite a consistent lack of dynamics — the power chords, the screamy solos, the screamy vocals (outside of Foreplay), this record is fun. The power chords are tight. And despite their obvious conviction that their instruments are extensions of their dongs, they see to be somewhat in on the joke?

This is kind of the epitome of classic rock. I'm only vaguely aware of some of these tracks, but listen to it evokes images of cool old cars, listening to the radio with the windows down, and neon lights. The sound of this album is sharp as crystal. The album art has guitars that look like UFOs, and the band is named after a place in America. It's everything you could want from a '70s rock album. The only thing holding this back for me is that I think the tracks themselves could be a little stronger, and I don't really care for "Rock & Roll Band" (I think the trope of artists singing about their history in this way isn't super interesting, although some musicians do it very well). This rating is a close one, though. Favorite track(s): "Peace of Mind," "Foreplay/Long Time"

6/10… 70s Rock /*1976

4/5

More Than a Feeling is a classic. Solid power pop/rock. 3/5.

I like to pride myself on being able to spin a yarn on these reviews. To be able to ramble about any ol' album for ... oh, let's say, 486 words, minimum? I think that's my current average. I mean, that's just the kind of person I am, besides my general despise for quippy "tweet reviews" (y'know, the kind you see all over Letterboxd). If you have something to say, say it — and I just like to say it in as many words as my mind will allow. But I don't think I'll be able to write all **too much** about this album. Like, come on: it's Boston's self-titled debut. The one with "More Than A Feeling". You want me to pull out a 1,000 word essay about this album? I don't think so. It's just an incredibly fun album. Cheesy? Sure, but that's part of the enjoyment factor; anyone who gives this thing a 2 or 1 for that reason alone ain't no friend of mine. Take it from someone who's eaten a **lot** of cheese (literal) in her life. Dad rock? Yeah, but who ever said dads have bad taste in music? This shit rocks, and I like it just as much as any dad would. Is it over-played? I mean ... if that's your beef with it, I guess I can't really argue against it. Seems a shame to me throw the **entire** album under the bus just because a few songs were played maybe one time too often, but I get it. I guess it's just lucky for me, then, that I've never been exposed to any kind of over-play. I hear "More Than A Feeling" come on, I get so. So true when I hear "Foreplay/Long Time", or any other cut on this thing. Am I gonna tell you this is one of the greatest albums **ever**? No, I don't think so. But to my ears, it's simple, rockin' fun, and that's all I'd ever ask for it to be. On that front, dang, I couldn't give it any lower than a 5. And it's only fitting, then, that my review be simple to match. Lemme jus' close my eyes and drift away...

Didn't realize how many songs I knew from the radio were on here. The music is good as well. 4.5 bumped up to 5.

I’m at a 10. Yeah, I knew this was gonna be great going into it, given my familiarity with the first two tracks here (and that is one hell of a 1-2 punch to start on), but the rest of the album fucking rocks all the same. Once the prog-esque intro to “Foreplay / Long Time” kicked in, a lot more of the variety of the band came through, and the wave of energy those first two tracks brought stayed at the same level for pretty much the whole time. Instrumentally… I mean, goddamn, if I could play a guitar with even 1% of the talent these guys have, I’d feel blessed. The percussion is fantastic too, with the drums finding new ways to pulse out power on every track. The electronica / synth stuff present here blends in perfectly as well, especially on some of the organ solos with just a touch of reverb present to give them a cool depth effect. I have no complaints on the instrumentation whatsoever; this might be ‘70s “dad rock” at a peak of sorts, and this is coming from a fucking debut album. Vocally, Brad Delp sounds like the king of the fucking world here – what a voice, genuinely. I have no idea how you can channel that much power & command into tracks like these, let alone still manage to bring out the extent of the emotions that aren’t really present in the lyrics. The lyrics themselves are generally pretty straightforward, and that’s an advantage here, since it gives Brad more room to drag as much as he can out, and he somehow pulls out far, far more than I think other vocalists would have. His held notes are crazy, his highest pitches feel unattainable nowadays, and as a whole, he shines just as much as the instrumentals do. It’s a perfect combination, and combined with some masterful production work to keep everything glued together, as well as a solid variety of genres within this arena rock base, the whole thing rocks. It is 37 minutes of near perfection – if I have even a minor nitpick, it’s that the last two tracks feel just a little lesser compared to the first 6. “Something About You” just kinda feels the same as “Peace of Mind”, and “Let Me Take You Home Tonight” doesn’t really feel like a closing track until they punch up the energy for the last minute or so – they’re still both great tracks though, with the former still hitting some insane adrenaline rushes (especially at the drop near the end) & the latter just being a lovely (if slightly cheesy) love track, with a sort of southern gospel energy at the end. Ultimately, there’s nothing here that would persuade me from giving this a 10. It’s a stellar set of tracks that feels like a greatest hits album, and yet, it’s their fucking debut. It’s a masterclass in how to do energetic ‘70s rock, and even with a number of these tracks (especially “More Than A Feeling”) being overplayed to death in the 49 years since this came out, for my first time listening to the vast majority of these tracks, I thought they all fucking ruled. No real complaints, no skips, no pausing, and no way this is getting anything lower than a 10. I loved it. I gotta listen to their other albums, I think.

Cheesiest of classic rock

This is a tough rate. The album was surprisingly more enjoyable in a sitting than any of its individual songs, long exhausted by classic rock radio. 3/5

Loved it, Peace of Mind will always be my favorite

Really enjoyed more than I thought I would, knew most of the songs already but didn't really know they were Boston songs.

I wish I could just close my eyes and slip away from this album! Seriously though, this is far from the worst thing I've heard so far in this run but pompous, overblown, overproduced, 70s arena rock is just not my bag.

Great 70s rock

First song is another one of those moments this generator where I recognise a song but never knew from where, and I guess now I know. The rest of the album was good as well. Lots of good stuff. 4 stars

I didn’t want to like it, but I liked it

3.5

Good rock. 3,2

Incredible vocal melodies Good mix of guitar and organ solos Really nice blues feel to a lot of the songs Perfect driving music Least favorite song was the final song

Apart from More Than a Feeling it's a bit FM meh

This was pretty cool, more than a feeling is peak asf 7/10

It's Ok, but far too cheesy to be one of the best albums ever.

I thought i hated Boston (it must be Chicago that i hate) but i was pleasantly surprised- these are all pop bangers! Short and sweet, would be perfect on an 8-track.

It's iconic rock. Not much else to say. It might be a victim of it's own success--that might be the only reason it's not getting 5-stars.

Very loud

Boston värmer min själ. Det är melodiskt, tajt och drömmigt.

Hell yeah, tänkte jag när albumet slumpades fram. Alla vet ju att Boston eld, eller gör dem det? Vi vet ju det och Sofie i synnerhet, är det större fanet av oss. Jag gissar dock på att de spädare generationerna aldrig hört talas om nämnda storheter. Min bekantskap med Boston började i samband med att första Guitar Hero kom ut under mina tonår. Antagligen är jag inte ensam om detta och More than a feeling är sedan dess för evigt inpräntat i mitt spelminne. Men vad tycker jag om hela plattan som jag - hör och häpna - aldrig hört i dess helhet tidigare?

page refreshed and deleted my shit so I'm not rewriting it. this album is an FBI psyop because I couldn't have named a single track on it prior to putting it on but somehow I know almost every song. it's catchy and inoffensive, and the folks in the band are clearly very talented (whoever is on the keyboard bodied eveybody else). they do what they do well but it's not my thing. also it's lowkey the same song x8 but at least it's a good song __ SCORE: 6/10 ADDED TO PLAYLIST: Smokin'

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.

I always forget how quickly “More Than A Feeling” ramps up. One minute in and it feels like it’s already the middle of the song and the solos are coming. It’s an intense way to kick off an album (and a debut album, at that). Even if you’re under 40, you’ve probably heard every song on side one of this record. Side two doesn’t provide as many bangers, but all the songs sound a lot like side one and it’s not hard to imagine a world where they’re all hits too. Any maybe that’s my complaint about the record; it’s all a bit “one note”, isn’t it? Fortunately, it’s a pretty fun note.

I mean, this has got to be one of the best debut albums of all time for me. It's banger after banger after banger. Excellent bass lines and guitar riffs, some killer keyboards, awesome vocals. Only real criticism I can come up with is maybe it's a little repetitive? But man. So good. Half the album has been in my rotation for years. I'm not sure if I'd heard the rest of it, but those other songs are right up there with the hits for me.

carino. bel rock. ma ci sta del rock di livello troppo piu alto, per me.

Top drawer classic rock. Great vocals and guitar sound.

Catchy choruses. Great guitar tone. Amazing vocals. A perfect album.

For of radio hits

3,5

People like to shit on Boston because they’re what Kurt Cobain called “butt rock.” Too happy and polished. But you can’t deny this album, banger after banger on here. You definitely get your money’s worth here.

Gostei mas não é bem a vibe que queria para estudar mcomp as 11 da noite

Nice glam rock album, a bit repetitive, but sounds very good and fit with the time

Short but powerful

Apologies, Boston. I had forgotten your game.

It’s ok, not awful but not great!

Excwllent

I will pretend i have long hair and live in the 70s: this is the perfect album. Fast forward to 2025. No hair and getting old, just a 3 star album. Might listen again in 10 years: whats this pile of sh*t

This is just like listening to German radio any day. 80s dad rock in its purest form.

Great pop music, i am surprised i had not heard this before. I usually don't like this arena rock kind of stuff but it's fun enough here. More than a feeling is a banger.

Classic rock is classic for a reason. Because it rocks!

Did not enjoy

Really weird listening to this album because it feels like I'm listening to the entire credits of an early 2000's family comedy movie. I guess I like that feeling? But it also feels like a bore for that same reason.

Dear lord. Proof that the early 70s really was the low point for rock music. I hate everything about this album. I hate the twiddly guitars. I hate the trite lyrics. I hate the stadium rock aesthetic. I hate the haircuts. Punk couldn't come soon enough...

Primera canço ja la conec: More than a feeling. Sa veu des cantant me sona. Es um album que tornaria a escoltar 100%

Great opener, great solos and solo harmonies. About half is great dad rock, the other half is a bit generic. Foreplay/Longtime best song.

Most bands would kill to have eight hits over the course of their career. Boston went eight for eight on their first album. The poor man's American Queen. 🚢

Yeah. Okay. This is a solid album full of hits. The story behind its recording also fits in the legends of rock and roll. As much as I believe the music of Boston is indistinguishable from REO Speedwagon, Chicago, Cheap Trick, and numerous other mid 70s bands, it is very true that this is an impressive debut album with zero filler.

This one plays like a greatest hits

Top half starts soooooo stong then fades. I love Boston's hits, think they kind have a weak undercard, but enjoyed the album.

Production and guitar tone are superb. If I have one thing to say about this album, it’s that Tom Scholz’s influence on guitar tech cannot be overstated. The songs are still good, even if I’ve heard them so many times on classic rock radio. I’m deducting one star though, because I think that this album marks one step closer to the Journey-fication of hard rock in the 70s, and one step away from more organic bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and even Aerosmith.

Super cool

This was fantastic and I enjoyed it even more because of that pet shop boys nightmare.

Hit after hit, this one is so good. Some think it’s annoying but there’s a reason it was everywhere

Sometimes uninteresting things are interesting in their own right. Boston's self-titled debut is that sort of commodity. It doesn't inspire musically, tho the group can certainly 'play,' and it doesn't inspire soulfully since their hits ain't from the soul. But it does inspire culturally, e'en or especially if it begs you to discover a better product. Classic rock radio stations serve up crap mostly, and there's a whole lot of crap that's better than this: ZZ Top, Tom Petty, The Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Still, Boston has good intentions: 'No, we didn't have much money / We barely made enuf to survive / But when we got up on stage and / Got ready to play, people came alive.' It's also a worthy experience to listen to an 8-track record that spawned 8 hit singles.

This is full of Boston hits! Good recommendation.

Banger after banger on this one. What a great album.

Excellent, enjoyed the whole thing.

3,7/5

Actually quite enjoyed this! High on the americana-score but very good. 4/5

#124 - Loved it!

If only the rest of the album lived up to More Than a Feeling.

oh I know this lol who doesnt, nice to see some stuff I recognize finally :> and 70's music over 80's any day lol i mean its ok? i dont personally like/listen to this kind of music, its just road trip music 4/10, there can be much worse, i do not like how everysong ends like the end of a album would

I’ve never sat down and listened to Boston, but this was a fun time. Rock and roll!

Partial to this album for 2 reasons: 1) nostalgia, 2) the late 70s vinyl that my wife snagged at an estate sale sounds utterly amazing. It’s a fun, loud, extra sharp cheddar cheesy listen. Albeit dated, I love the songs and I can’t imagine this album not existing. 4/5

Not offensive

One time I went to Boston and there was a bruins game that was letting out and this guy called me a fag

is good and is bad.

it has one and a half good songs on it. the rest is cheese 1.5/5

Wonderful story on the creation of this album.

The quintessential dad-rock, and I mean that mainly because this is one of the only non-country albums my dad would listen to constantly. This is a personal rating, (well, all of them are) and there's no skips for me. Brad Delp's insane vocal range, the crazy noodling on both guitar and organ, I love all that shit. Call me a basic bitch, I don't even care.

Nur geil.

I remember listening to this album after I heard "More Than a Feeling" on Guitar Hero. I was 13 and it transformed me. 22 years later my stomach filled with butterflies as each song came flooding back. The baby did not sleep on the way to daycare yesterday, we were too busy singing.

It’s a fun album that’ll get anyone in a positive mindset! I loved the fun guitar throughout but yet again the album had very little variation. My three highlight tracks are, More Than a Feeling, Peace of Mind, and Smokin’.

An enjoyable morning listen, but not really anythjng there that’s going to help me distinguish between journey, Boston, rep speed wagon, or even Kansas. That said, really enjoyed Foreplay/Longtime, which I’d never heard before.

Made by one man with a guitar in his basement back in the 70s and it is still an all time classic.

Don't really like this genre of AOR, but some tracks were good. 3/5

I wore the grooves out on this when it came out, so it's difficult for me to disassociate the memories from the music. But I'll try... A good album, every song is a fun listen. What it lacks is any real passion, meaning, or message. But Hey! When you're a teenager blasting it through your headphones in your bedroom Rock and Roll is more than enough.

Pish.

This record is ripping and has some massive hits on here. Just a fun one.

holy crap I hate arena rock

Ouais, pas mal

Bangers

Great rock album

(3.5) really more than a feeling

Якщо мені років 15 тому сказали, що я буду отримувати задоволення від гурту Boston, то я б образився) More Than a Feeling - супер хіт, топ хук. Взагалі дуже хукова музика, класний звук, приємний настрій у альбому.

More than a feeling дістала мене ще в часи дитинства, коли її крутили по євроспорту в рекламі постійно. Я в принципі поважаю АОР рух, як щось таке добре і позитивне, але не більше ніж на три зірочки.

Almost every track is a recognizable hit reminiscent of the burner music my parents were nostalgic about.

1 year later, 77 would be put out. I would never again be a Boston fan. But prior to hearing the Talking Heads, I like many of those growing up in those days we knew every word to Boston. And to this day, like today, I know the lyrics to all these songs. Amazing, really. I will always owe my musical tastes evolving to the Talking Heads. But Boston was an album most of us had and most of us could sing the words to every song, beginning to end. And I still can. I am amazed. That being said, other than for nostalgia, is it an album one must hear before they die? Nah...unless you want to get into the groove of mid-to-late 70s. Otherwise, you'll be fine without ever having to listen to Boston. Nostalgia: 5 stars; reality: 3 stars.

Favourite track: Foreplay / Long Time Excellent album. None of the tracks are boring, Boston always manage to keep it interesting and change things up over the course of the song. More Than A Feeling is obviously great but I think it's actually overshadowed by tracks like Foreplay / Longtime, Peace Of Mind, and Smokin' - and almost seems a bit formulaic in comparison.

A light 2. There are some catchy songs, but the cheesy mid-70s radio rock thing just doesn’t do it for me.

Ooh. That was a guilty pleasure. I suppose I've all these songs in my lifetime. Yes, it's 70s rock but it's not too pretentious with extended guitar solos and the rest. I've known about this album's existence for decades and some decades back I would have said it's no good because it's not cool. But now, I've got to say it rocks. Sorry, ghosts of cool past, I'm giving it a rockin' 5.

Loved this album. Reminds me of my father. So many strong songs on this one.

One of my favorite classic rock bands that I've neglected to actually collect their CD's. That will change soon!

Learning that I really like 70s rock

Starts off really strong, but at the end I realized how similarly a lot of the songs sounded. With the cool intro to Foreplay/Long Time, I had a hope that we could get some more "out there" stuff - but by the end I was left wanting a bit more. All in al, though, 4 or 5 songs on this album that I would describe as "classics". Great listen, just hoped for a bit more variability.

70s arena rock/power pop is a bit of a blind spot in my musical taste. I know Boston are the More Than a Feeling band, but them, Cheap Trick and The Cars get confused in my mind. It was nice enough but didn't grab my attention.

Indigo

Not terrible but not my bag.

Hol ich nach, kein Bock, keine Zeit. Eher nichts für mich.

114/1001 :: Boston - Boston Heard before? ❌ Would I revisit? ❌ Rating: 4 Listen before you die: No Nothing says Classic Rock radio like these Boston tunes. And while I find a lot of this album pretty cheesy there are definitely “Hot Licks” on here too. Some of the playing is kinda impressive inparticular the guitar work. But overall it’s too over the top especially the singing. Lastly, I’m still baffled that this spaceship with a city in it is the actual artwork. It’s so bad it’s practically iconic at this point.

I think the album Boston by Boston was the quintessential album and a fair representation of the music produced and promoted by the group. Did I like it? It was fine.

Corn drenched in cheese goes down easy

Excellent debut album from Boston. Basically perfect.

Pues muy bien disco. Da la sensación de que ya no se hace o no triunfa este tipo de rock

I can't believe all of these songs are on a debut record. Perfect rock music, top to bottom. Amazing guitar riffs, iconic vocals, no complaints

Starts off with one of the best songs of all time and keeps going with great follow ups

"More than a feeling" is one of those iconic rock songs of all time. "Peace of mind" is powerful, with an amazing and relatable message. "Foreplay/Long time" is epic. Like, completely epic. That start?!?!?!? It doesn't even seem that long. "Rock & Roll band" has a cool rhythm and vibe. "Smokin'" didn't sit right with me at first, but the ending is epic. "Hitch a Ride" has probably the weakest melody of the album, but the guitar parts are rockin'. "Something about you" has just this essence. Top. "Let me take you home tonight" is just the perfect ending for the album.

Boston is boring

Absolute 70s gold.

Best: More than a Feeling Worst: Smokin' Classic rock and I can definitely see why so many other bands imitated and transformed that classic "Boston Rock" sound.

Arguably the greatest debut album of all time. Just hit after hit. Great album. 4/5

37 minutes of background music for deodorant commercials.

Not a bad band. Some good tunes. Good album.

Dad rock, but *good* Dad rock. There's this broad, epic scope to each of these tracks that just feels so rich and meticulous. fav tracks: More Than A Feeling, Let Me Take You Home Tonight

Slatki album, ima tu dobrih stvari, pogotovo kad krenu rokati orguljice. Kul pozadinska glazba. 3/5, 6/10

3/5 not bad, has the vibes of the old rock days

Good, feels essential 70s. More than a feeling is actually a crazy opening to this album. (Didn’t finish tho ahhh)

Listening to this album, I realized I've actually listened to this whole album before! "More Than a Feeling" is unchallenged peak, "Peace of Mind" and "Foreplay/Long Time" were solid, "Smokin'" was just awful and I almost skipped it after a few minutes, everything else was fine. Best: "More Than a Feeling" Worst: "Smokin'"

One of the greatest debut albums of all time, its a shame they never really did anything else. Almost every song here is a hit. Some people say it drags at the end but imo the 2 closing songs might bethe best of the album.

Classic!!

Started strong, finished a little weaker. Classic rock that I've heard hundreds of times on the radio. Really enjoyable and surprising for a debut album.

3 out of 5

Now here we go! I LOVE THIS ALBUM! Was in heavy rotation for me in middle school. A great example of progressive classic rock leaning slightly more on the rock. An iconic album.

I liked this rock and roll 🎸 album 💿

My dad loves this album

Boston actually accomplishes that classic rock sound from the 70's/80's that makes a lot of those bands sound monotone, but adds variance into their music, continuously twisting the sound. Most of the songs still suffer from being 5+ minutes long with repeating refrains that play better at a concert than listening in the background. More than a Feeling and Peace of Mind will always be classics though.

Dad rock :/ Led Zeppelin but if it was Guns N’ Roses (aka worse) First half is pretty good but it gets progressively worse… not bad just generic

I think I can appreciate this album a lot because I wasn’t around when overplay was grinding everyone’s gears into bits. But I really enjoyed this one. Despite being genuinely shocked to hear more than a feeling in the wild, there you can see that I have no clue about anything. Still this was pretty fun!

Não conhecia a banda e até que gostei, poderia dizer que buscaria conhecer mais de suas músicas. Gostei muito das músicas, More than a feeling e Foreplay/Long time, acho que me identifiquei bastante com elas nesse momento de mudança, de deixar de conviver diariamente com alguém proximo, e a ideia de que estou seguindo em frente em meu próprio caminho. Além dessas a música, Let me take you home toninght também me faz pensar em meus próprios sentimestos nesse momento e acho que ela e as outras duas acima demonstram por si só os meus sentimentos. Além das duas citadas acima também gostei de Peace of mind, Hitch a ride e Something about you. Teria sido interessante ter conhecido elas antes mas tudo em seu tempo.

Du pur délire !

ÉPIQUE les guitares font dzoing dzoing les voix font wouhou wouhou que demander de plus ? USA ROCKS

Botston 👍

A banger start to finish, and a must have if your collection needs a transformative 70's album. And really, who's doesn't!?

Me agarra en un día cruzado y revoleo el album a la mierda. Y si me agarra dispuesto se disfruta un montón. Tiene una cosa que hoy se siente naif, pero es muy del rock de estadios yanki. Cómo les gustan las palmitas eh 7/10

i have a connection to this. i my mom liked the beatles first and van morrison second, hands down boston is next. this record is pretty much all hits. i don't love these guys, but its hard to deny how catchy these are. this record was on Rock Band and it was super fun to play. they just have a very even, uncontroversial, clean style whether you like it or not. i've always thought of them as an 80's band, but these are all the songs i know from '76.

Finally, after an endless streak of boring indie records, I get this. Easily one of the best produced albums ever, easy 5 stars. I bet I am an opposite from all those kids rating their indie rubbish high and probably hating this.

Helt ok, rätt bra bitvis

Good honest listen. 4/5

On a dark, wet, grey morning I needed More Than a Feeling more than I ever knew

I am not immune to Foreplay/Long Time

Pre: 1st album i know well. Tom Scholz ground breaking studio/gear analog wizardry for rock anthems. Amazing vocals by Brad delph? Post: amazing recored, guitar was less impressive then when I listend as a kid after so much thin lizzy ect but solid still

In the days of big hair and arena rock, there were loud guitars, upbeat songs for 30 thousand or more people to shout/sing together, and neverending joy. Here is a slice of that time.

Fantastic album

The first half of Boston's debut is peak classic rock. Every song is catchy and the solo's slap. It's uncanny how good it is. But the second half of this album isn't. Not that it's without it's moments, but it's just kinda meh at times.

I only really knew More Than a Feeling before listening to this album, and everything else was new to me. The sound feels heavy — classic in a good way, but maybe a bit over-the-top too. Still, I really like it. I feel like if I’d been born in that era, I totally would’ve been into this kind of music.

First time I've really listened to Boston. My first impression was that it was all a bit cheesy hair balladry but after More Than A Feeling and Peace of Mind, it improves significantly. Foreplay essentially sets us up to think we've managed to stumble unwittingly into a prog album before Long Time reminds us that where prog and classic rock cross over in just the right proportions, greatness can reign. The second half is all more straightforward 70s riff rock with some solid blues influence and honestly I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected (or hoped) that I would. Hitch a Ride is a hidden gem with another few bursts of wild organ and delightful guitar fills and before you know it, the ride is over; it doesn't outstay its welcome and even ended up getting a few replays this week. Fair play to you, Boston. This thing is pretty great.

My jam. Great tip tip to tail album.

Dad rock, lots of radio olay

I've heard many Boston songs but never really listened. They have just been in the background throughout my life. But what an impressive album! Extremely fun to listen to

Actually not bad. Not really my type of music, but I kinda liked it, and there were some bangers. 3.5 stars.

I of course knew More Than a Feeling and I recognized a couple others. This is the type of music I don’t enjoy. I throw this band in with Styx, REO Speedwagon, and Journey as music that is tolerable, but that I don’t ever need to hear again.

Man, I’m exhausted, but I threw this on and suddenly I’m air-guitaring in my socks. Every song’s a banger, especially More Than a Feeling. It’s like caffeine for the soul. No skips, just vibes. Classic rock perfection. Now I can sleep happy.

Everything about this album is well done. The guitars, the vocals, the songwriting, production, and general cohesion is flawless. But it just sounds so utterly generic. I know it isn't their fault; they're so influential that many acts copied their sounds and they're so popular that radios played them to death, so no wonder it just feels tired 50 years later. But I don't see myself listening to this album through again, so I can't bring myself to give it more than three stars.

Outre la première toune, que j’ai trop entendue dans des films, séries télés ou publicités, le reste de l’album est une belle surprise. Un son très dense, de belles orchestrations, de bonnes compositions. Ce n’est pas un band que je connaissais, mais je peux comprendre qu’il se soit trouvé un public. Malheureusement, ce n’est pas pour moi.

Pure classic rock bliss

Probably the greatest debut album of all time, and one of that is dear to my heart. I can sing along to every song on this album. It will always be one of my favourites. 10/10

A most excellent album all the way through. Definitely belongs on this list!

Boston is the zenith of pop rock. Obviously this album is not as well know in the UK as the US where I understand it was played to death on the radio and is still, even nowadays, being flogged like a dead horse. I hadn’t listened to it in full for years and so it was lovely to reacquaint myself with its brilliance. Every track is a cracker, maybe save for the last track which is just a sparkler. But as a whole I still love this album. Obvious 5

Good to know that exists

The dad rock cringe is REAL.

just barely a 2

Is this the best of this kind of rock?

This is a five. I know it is a five. But I just can't. I feel like I ought to hate on how some of the lyrics are corny, the music is 70s stadium rock that was indicative of the time, but it also is the Apotheosis of that. A tight album under 40 minutes, songs with progressive portions, but nothing ever lingers. No song goes on for too long, making it skippable. The themes stay the same throughout, and the songs switch seamlessly. Truly, a classic of rock and roll, and a standout in the genre of stadium rock. It is an impressive album, made even more impressive by the history of how it came together. I still ain't giving it a five though.

Repeat listen

Easy listening, with two major hits known by everyone but among whom no one able to name the artist. I like it.

It really was more than a feeling

Great opening track and nice background rock thereafter

Love Boston.

Incrível

This is an album I grew up with and have loved for a long time. Listening to it more critically it's a little bit corny at times, and damn is it short! That said, so much of this has aged fantastically. I think it's inarguable that the first half of the album is just fire, and whole things slow in the latter half it still ends strong.

The energy is high on this album. A lot of fun was had with it. More than a Feelin holds up but is far from the only gem on this.

Favorite tracks: Peace of Mind, More Than a Feeling Holy cow am I kicking myself for not listening to this album in its entirety before now. Sweet guitar riffs, great harmonies, just a total powerhouse all around. I'm in awe that this is their first album and it was entirely played by one person. Not the deepest or most meaningful lyrics but boy is it a fun listen!

Basic 70s Bitch.

Just old good rock

I LOVE CLASSIC RAWK!!!!

it's like a cup of coffee from a diner, it's good enough.

Banger after banger gostupidgocrazy

This sounded like a poor man's Eagles. Apart from the slay cover art, this album gave me guitar hero PTSD.

A qualidade do maior single da banda "More Than A Feeling" em relação do resto do album é algo gritante, o que reflete diretamente na nota que o album vai receber, uma pena espera mais.

At 37 minutes, this album is short and sweet and full of hits. As a teenager in the 80’s this album was still popular in my high school and always a backdrop to driving around town, keg parties, and sitting by my friend’s pool enjoying a summer day. Fun music and a bit of nostalgia makes it a 4 for me.
