Limited vinyl LP including digital download. Boston is the debut studio
album by Boston. Produced by Tom Scholz and John Boylan, the album was
originally released on August 25, 1976. The album sold extremely well,
breaking sales records, becoming the best-selling debut LP in the US at
the time, and winning the RIAA Century Award as best selling debut
album. The album's singles, most notably "More Than a Feeling" and "Long
Time", were both AM and FM hits, and nearly the entire album receives
constant rotation on classic rock radio.
---
Boston is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and deservedly so.
Because of the rise of disco and punk, FM rock radio seemed all but
dead until the rise of acts like Boston, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen.
Nearly every song on Boston's debut album could still be heard on
classic rock radio decades later due to the strong vocals of Brad Delp and unique guitar sound of Tom Scholz. Tom Scholz, who wrote most of
the songs, was a studio wizard and used self-designed equipment such as
12-track recording devices to come up with an anthemic "arena rock"
sound before the term was even coined. The sound was hard rock, but the
layered melodies and harmonics reveal the work of a master craftsman.
While much has been written about the sound of the album, the lyrics are
often overlooked. There are songs about their rise from a bar band
("Rock and Roll Band") as well as fond remembrances of summers gone by
("More Than a Feeling"). Boston is essential for any fan of classic
rock, and the album marks the re-emergence of the genre in the 1970s. ~ Vik Iyengar, AllMusic
