This album is undeniably enjoyable. It is so catchy and so inspireable I just can't resist a good old fasion Boston song when it comes on the radio. I can't find a bad track on this. The only way this isn't a 5 is that the songs get a bit old. But that doesn't take away from the greatness. The choruses are superb and so easy to find yourself to sing along to.

Total 70's guitar rock replete with chart topping single. Unfortunately the memory of that chart topping single will make you completely forget about great hard-rocking tracks like "Foreplay/Long Time".

One of the most catchy albums released in the 70's. "More Than a Feeling" is just timeless music.

Undeniably enjoyable...at some parts. Although many parts of Boston's debut, Boston are not that great at all. The album shines on tracks such as Hitch A Ride, Peace Of Mind, and of course, the great More Than A Feeling, but overall, there are plenty of mediocre tracks. Songs like Smokin' and Something About You are just plain bad, and Let Me Take You Home Tonight is not exactly that good of a track. The instrumentation is decent, and while some solos are legendary, some of the guitar work and such is just mediocre. Overall, a decent album thats goods fun.

My love of Deep Purple, UFO, Whitesnake, and many other 70s hard rock bands tells me I should
really love this, but apart from Smokin' & Hitch a Ride there was just something that fell
short about this. Maybe it's that it feels so manufactured for radio or even just written in
such a commercial manner, just does not hold my interest fully. The songs feel a bit too
banal, basic & "safe" to really catch me.

One of the riffing-est rock albums ever recorded. Doesn't get much better than this.

If your dad doesn?t own this alvum, your childhood sucked. Mine doesn?t. Wait. Onto the actual soundoff: I expected to hate this upon revisiting it. Fiest 3 tracks were amazing though. Then it took a massive dip on On Rock ?n? Roll band that didn?t end.

went back to scroll through this and realized i'd heard all of these songs before--and enough to "know" them--without ever intending to, just from second-hand listening over many years. Dad's a boomer, what ya gonna do. Songs aren't bad tho, despite all pretty much being worn out by now.

Boston's self-titled debut is a landmark album of the 70s. It is a magnificent release that stretches beyond the boundaries of the classic 'More Than a Feeling'. The jazzy rhythm of 'Smokin' with its stellar organ solo, along with the story-telling in 'Rock and Roll Band' cannot also be overlooked. However, I found 'Foreplay/Long Time' to be the jewel on the crown. Boston is a solid release that can be listened without skips or fast-forwarding.

Not every album I love has to be serious and moody... Boston's s/t is a fun one. And it's so consistently good! There isn't a single song I dislike on this.

Boston's self-titled debut is probably the greatest debut album ever recorded. The songwriting here is superb, the production is out of this world, and the album is enjoyable throughout.

Undeniably a classic albums according to most people. Rock music doesn't have to be that complicated really, and Boston certainly proves it. There's not a half bad song to be found on this album and though I simply can't bring myself to rate an album of this genre unrealistically high I'll admit it gives me a very warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Catchy album!

Boston does hard-rock like it has never been done before, with their smashing debut... at times, the message surpasses the superb delivery, as "Peace of Mind" showcases. Unfortunately, the band's stellar musical performance was not matched by the song-writing ability of the band, but then again, people listen to hard-rock to enjoy the music, not the message.

By and far the greatest debut album of all time. Boston created a masterpiece and then went on to other albums that were far inferior to this one. Ranked as my favourite Boston album, favourite album of 1976, 2nd favourite album of the 1970s, and 4th favourite album of all time.

Boston's self-titled debut brings a sound that, though relatively straightforward, is often full of energy before slumping in the last few minutes. Brief, fun and casual, this album overcomes its flaws simply thanks to its approachability and almost irresistibly catchy songs.

This Album is one of the greatest albums ever made. Boston knows how to rock and rock good. "More Than A Feeling" is a song that is well known and is still very good. "Foreplay Long Time" has a ridiculous intro in which you don't know where the song is going to go but when the guitar kicks in you feel the wait was worth it and you think "This is the fricken awesomest thing ever." "Something About You" is an amazing love song and i feel Boston when they sing it.

This is probably the only album from the 70's or anytime round the era, that EVERY track stood out as being different from the one that was on before it, and the one coming next. Brad Delp's vocals soar like an eagle in every song, & Tom Sholz pulls off some amazing guitar solos throughout, which combined make this album being very enjoyable. More Than A Feeling, Foreplay/Long Time, Piece Of Mind & Smokin' are all classics in their own right. The best album of the 70's, without any doubt, & one of the greatest albums ever recorded in the history of music.

Some people would say these album started metal. I cant agree more. RIP Brad Delp he was the really good vocallist of Boston. This record is just amazing songs like More than a feeling and forelong are esecialy enjotable. Any one who likes metal or just rock should definitly get his right now.
"More than a feeling"
-Brad Delp 1976
Edit: Also, also some people say like Led Zeppelin and Paul Mcarthney if you play this backwards you can hear the devil things but thats not true SP GET IT.

Boston achieve something unthinkable. Every song stands on its own as the perfect radio hit that all can enjoy and as a cohesive whole it supplies one of the catchiest albums of all time. I almost feel bad for them trying to even attempt to beat their own debut.

How can you not find yourslef in a happy place when you are listening to Boston's debut? This album perfectly defines classic rock. It has got killer solos and warm and touching vocals, and every song is catchy! This may not be a perfect rock album or anything but its got everything that the 70's were all about. MORE THAN A FEELING!

This album is a Rock n' Roll classic for a couple of undeniable reasons. Firstly, this set the standard for all Radio Rock to come, describing and prescribing the deviously simple and cleverly dynamic style of multi-tracked guitars, high tenor melodies backed by full-band harmonies, memorable riffs and legendary solos. Secondly, every song is absolutely entertaining and fun to listen to, and well more than half of the tracks became world-wide hits. If you can listen to songs like "More Than a Feeling", "Peace of Mind", "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Rock and Roll Band" and NOT find yourself in a happy place, question whether or not you're really human.
