Boston by Boston

Boston: Brad Delp (vocals); Tom Scholz (guitar, organ); Barry Goudreau (guitar); Fran Sheenan (bass); Sib Hassian (drums). Recorded at Foxglove Studios, Watertown, Massachusetts; Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California; The Record Plant, Los Angeles, California between 1975 and 1976. Recorded on a simple 12-track recorder as a demo, it was so good that the record company released it. Tom Scholz masterminded the project in his spare time; little did he know that this record came to define AOR, and would become a hi-fi store standard demo disc. Since that time, this record-breaking debut has sold 15 million copies in its homeland. Sholtz put so much effort into making it, he has managed only three further records in 22 years. "More Than A Feeling" still chills in a corny sort of way and the harmonies are pretty impressive.

Pros Crisp, Clean production, powerful songs.
Cons Not quite up to the standards of it's follow-up album.
Recommended it? Yes

Boston's self-titled debut album is classic in every sense of the word. Although personally I give it 4 Stars because Quality-Wise these songs aren't up to the level of their second album. That's a minority opinion for sure, feel free to disagree.

1976 was a Great year for Rock album... Read full review »
