Boston
BostonI 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.

On the whole, I enjoyed listening to this album. I recognized several of the songs as they were played on the radio and it seemed to me that there was a certain sound to the songs which made it understandable as to why they were popular. I was surprised by the song "I Believe" as it wasn't played on the radio like some of the others, and I really liked it for its difference.
First time listening to this group and this music. I liked the beginning of some of the songs, but the music became quickly repetitive, so what I liked in the beginning changed to just mediocre noise/sound. Most of the music was instrumental although in a few tracks there were words spoken out but not really sung. Not a big fan.
Bongos! Drums! I thought the Latin American rhythms were very obvious, but what surprised me was that at times I felt like I was listening to African music also. Although there were some repetitive moments, I liked listening to the album; however, it won't be an album that I have on repeat.
I loved this album. I understand why it is considered one of this group's best. I liked that all the songs were different from one another; from the silly song titled "Worms" to the more serious song titled, "Fairytale of New York". I enjoyed the use of several musical instruments and different voices. I appreciated the inclusion of the Dubliner's on a couple of the songs also.
I thought the first song of the album would never end. I liked the song, but I thought that it could have ended sooner. I thought that at times the lead singer was being over-the-top emotional while trying to sing the song which I found distracting. I didn't care for the tracks of the interviews.
I thought the first five tracks had a more folksy sound to the songs where the last four tracks were more hardcore rock and roll with electric guitar riffs. Before listening to this album, I was ambivalent about Neil Young's work; however, I did like "Pocahontas" a lot.
