Overview

Ok now onto the album. This album is easily one of the most memorable classic rock albums of the 70's and 80's. The album is a staple of classic rock radio stations playlists and when your on your way to your next baseball game, or to meet up at Mcdonalds with the wife for some lunch, turn the station and your bound to here some Boston. Boston delivered power licks and riffs as well as creative lyrics. The album was in the right place at the right time and boy did it show when it only took 2 months the RIAA Gold Record Award in 1976.

Lyrics

There is something about the lyrics that just gives you goosebumps everytime you hear them. Here is a excerpt from " More then a Feeling " QUOTE So many people have come and gone Their faces fade as the years go by Yet I still recall as I wander on as clear as the sun in the summer sky

Guitar

Guitar Work on the Album The lead and rhythm gutiar on the album is the most exciting quality of the whole album, with simple solos and calm chord progressions the album was a hit recipe of success. The innovations of simplicity on the album led to other ablums doing the same methods.
