I was kinda dreading this one. The only Boston song I could remember off the top of my head was the one where they talk about being a band out of Boston, and I never loved that song. Is there anything more Boston than being from Boston and naming your band Boston? Or singing a song about life on the road as a band from Boston... on your debut record? Your career hasn't even begun yet, son! What are you talking about? Anywho, I was naturally then surprised to realize I knew the first 5 damn songs on this record. There's only 8 tracks on here total. (At a perfect 38 minute runtime.) For better or worse, the fact I knew 5 of these songs tells me that this album absolutely slaughtered classic rock radio. I would've never guessed all 5 songs were on the same record. Would've never guessed they were even the same band. Impressive. And yet! I don't think I liked this one quite as much as you bros. There's something about it all that just feels indistinct to me and not as enjoyable as some of their contemporaries. The tunes are good, the musicians are clearly talented, but... the lyrics and the voice don't really elevate it above the field the way, say, a band like Journey does. I have no clue if Journey has an album with 5 songs on it that I know. But if you ask me if I'd rather hear "Don't Stop Believing" for the 9,000th or "More Than I Feeling" for the 9,000th time, I'm going with the Journey song. Every time.
