    It's great to see the younger generation react to possibly the greatest debut album of all time. I didn't realize how lucky I was to grow up with this music.
    Young man, keep going on your Boston journey. You've got a way to go.

      I agree - probably the greatest debut album of any band ever. I know that's a big statement but it's obvious that many people feel that way. What DEBUT is better? I can't think of any better - equal maybe but this album is amazing!

    Those of us who grew up in the 70's (and late 60's / early 80s as well) didn't know how good we had it with all the incredible music and bands - and Boston was at the top of the heap with their groundbreaking sounds. When Tom Schulz came out with the Rockman for guitar, I bought one, used it for many years in our band.

      They weren't a 'hit machine'... their first album was of course gargantuan, but the second album so long in coming was nowhere near as good. And really there was no 'they', just a couple guys really made all the songs... which is why they were crap in concert. Yes crap, the 'band' was not the actual guys who supposedly played on the album. I saw them in concert. Not so good.

      ​@@townhall05446of course there second and third album weren't as good. Nobody's album was as big of a hit as their first album. Not even bands like Led Zeppelin or Aerosmith or any of them. That is the problem with having the biggest selling album ever, especially when it's your debut album. You can't top it.
      Boston's second and third albums were just fine. It was just impossible to top their first album. Other bands were not expected to sound like Boston and therefore it was easier to move along even though they could not top the Boston album. But Boston was expected to somehow top their own album.

    Every. Single. Cut. ... on this album is fire. It was Summer between fresh & soph year in college when this came out, and when I got back to campus, this stuff was flying out of every dorm and apartment, and at every party. Couldn't get away from it if you wanted to... and we didn't want to. The music carries a lot of positivity - even more than the lyrics - and just has an uplifting effect. Smokin' & Rock & Roll Band are up next, and again you won't be disappointed. Legendary debut album!
    Couldn't get away from 3 bands during the mid to late 70's: Fleetwood Mac, Boston & Earth, Wind & Fire. The music was so good back then, nothing really to compare it with in today's corporate BS radio.... I mean, I find a lot of great tracks from today's bands/artists through independent sources, as well as YT... but the singers/songwriters who were part of the great 60's/70's bands were going for epic, going for big airplay & big money... and that motivation drove the market.
    But sooo glad you're walking this path, along with a lot of other reactors - getting a new experience and learning about the great music of the past, which you all are bringing to the newer generations.

      Steve Girard I, too, was there during The Golden Age of Sound and Song! My 'coming of age' period was a little earlier than yours - was privileged to witness Dylan's entry into what evolved into hours of exquisite auditory art of the highest caliber. Can recall walking across campus during my sopomore year with Like a Rolling Stone blaring from dorm windows. The air itself was energized and electrified with music our parents just couldn't understand. My Dad was born in 1912 - that is 110 years ago! Mom was born in '21, that's just over a century. Can you imagine their complete dismay at a song titled Foreplay or a band called Pink Floyd? No wonder the term ' generation gap ' was coined back then

My Dad was born 1915, and my Mom 1919... and living now, and remembering their stories of 'back in the day"... it's just amazing the spread of time we understand.
      A lot of changes, especially in music, where we went from Tin Pan Alley and the Big Band Era which dominated for several decades of my Dad's life... and realize he was only 40 when Elvis hit... and he was not impressed! I heard the early Beatles @ around 7 yrs old, but really locked onto the blue-eyed soul of the Rascals, and the Philly soul groups like the Chi-Lites, Spinners, Delfonics... even more than the Motown stuff.

    I got to see Boston at Madison Square Garden in 1979, I was 12 and it was a mind blowing experience. They were able to pull off the sound they got in the studio live, and Brad Delp really could sing that high. The main problem Boston had as a band was that the first album was so strong, it was almost impossible to top it. Their second album, 1978’s “Don’t Look Back” was okay, but nowhere near as great as their debut. The public waited until 1986 for the 3rd Boston album, called “Third Stage”, but it was only okay. They’ve put out other albums of all new material since, but it’s no match for their debut album.

    Realize that this was recorded a track at a time on analog reel-to-reel tape and hand-mixed. No autotune, no computer tricks, just pure talent and hard, hard work. The transitions between light acoustic and hard jam are epic, and if you get past the music into the lyrics it's a good, positive message too.

    I'm 62 now, this came out when I was 16. It's still blowing people's minds 46 years later; that's what makes a timeless song. And realize that this was made decades before ProTools and AutoTune, on 1/4" reel-to-reel tape. No digital editing available. They played the music live in the studio direct to tape. And, on top of that, the lead guitarist is an MIT grad that majored in physics, was working as a product engineer for Kodak, the camera film company. He played ALL the instruments except drums, and a friend from another band did ALL the vocals. HE recorded, mixed, and produced it himself IN HIS BASEMENT, with most of the effects he designed and built himself. Only thing he bought was an 8 channel ANALOG mixing board. The guy was a total genius.

      @289hipo Tom used a Sculley 12 track one inch tape machine to record the tracks that he submitted for this record. Scholz actually graduated from MIT with a masters in mechanical engineering and Scholz worked for Polaroid but still a camera and film company. All of Brads vocals sans Let Met Take You Home which was written by Brad were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C. The entire song Let Me Take You Home was recorded by the band as pictured on the back of the record. This record was mixed at Westlake Studios by producer John Boylan, Engineer Warren Dewey and Tom with assistance from Steve Hodges. It is well known that Tom used a Dan Flickinger console to record the tracks that he submitted for this record are you sure it was only an 8 channel console? It would make much more sense for the console to be a 12 channel or more or a 24 channel. Also Tom most certainty did not play all of the instrumental tracks on this record. Foreplay and Long Time heavily feature the guitar work of Barry G. Fran is playing bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. Brad is playing acoustic guitar on Let Me Take You Home and Barry plays electric rhythm, slide and lead guitar on Let Me Take You Home
      Brad was not a friend from another band. Brad sang on multiple demos for Tom and played in band with Tom years before this record was made. Barry met Tom when Tom auditioned to play keyboards in Barrys band. Barry introduced Brad to Tom not long after that time. Barry, Brad, Jim Masdea and Tom played in bands and did demos of Toms songs years before this record was made and released.

    As a guitar player myself, when this came out, the sound just blew my mind. The guitarist and main song writer, Tom Scholtz, went to MIT and graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. He created a couple of effects racks called Rockmans that I immediately went out and purchased. The compression, distortion, sustain, and echo on them were legendary. My Santana, Rush, and Zeppelin never sounded better. This album is an all-time top 25 bestselling album, selling some 20 million so far. Simply spectacular.

    Just today, I was walking up the parking lot of Bridger Bowl ski hill. Two college age guys were pulling gear out of their rig. Doors open and back hatch up and this album was playing at 11! It made me very happy. Saw these guys twice. My hearing has never been the same since. My ears rang for 2 weeks. They were the loudest recorded live act back in the 70's.

I had 6'x9" Kricket's in the rear deck that, thank God, had a lifetime warranty because I blew up 4 sets with this song! Love your reaction. I grew up with the best music ever playing on the radio.

    Boston was the first band I ever saw in concert. It was the fall of 1978 when 3 of my college buddies and I drove 70 miles to see this show. Sammy Hagar was the warm-up act. I hadn't heard of him back then but he put on a good show. There was about a 20 minute pause between acts and then Boston came out playing "Rock And Roll Band", a story about the rise of the band. That song and "Smokin'" are a couple of my Boston favorites and would make great reactions.

    I’m glad you’re enjoying this album. When it first came out, I had it on 8-Track, so “ Foreplay/Long Time” was the very last song on that format. As well it should have been. This is an excellent album and in my opinion, you’ve played the most popular of the songs on it. But get ready for “Smokin’”. Put your seatbelt on.

    This album was a masterpiece, as close to perfect as you can get, a labor of love for Tom Scholz, an MIT geek. But that's Boston for ya, a city that reeks of higher education. He didn't really expect it to go anywhere and when it took off it generated resentment among rock's Kool Kidz. Tom wasn't part of that crowd, he didn't party and do drugs. And it was their first. Their second album had some bright spots but when you start on top of a mountain every direction is down
