"Better music through science" was the Epic Records-coined slogan that Boston leader Tom Scholz hated, but this masterwork of studio-happy, high-school-parking-lot music earned it. Scholz fine-tuned his overdubbed guitar orchestra to a pitch that a thousand subsequent album-rockers couldn't resist. And why should they? Where the band's later records were hardly worthy of note, Boston pulls together classic after classic: "More Than a Feeling," "Peace of Mind," "Hitch a Ride." The pseudo-cosmic ambience invites scoffs as the year 2000 recedes into the past, but it's really just part of the disc's charm. Let it take you home tonight. --Rickey Wright

Summary: Pretty Good Certianaly Not The Greatest Debut OF All time....
Comment: Boston another one of those "stadium rock" bands from the 70s that now a days are long broken up and or not touring and currently realising skimpy hits complimation cds for low prices(8.97, 6.97 or lower) anyways Boston's debut album is probaly there best album and the only one you need of them. Huge success when it came out and is one of those great debut albums that are hard too find but people look whats better, Are You Experienced by The Jimi Hendrix Experience a classic great rock album or Bostons first album. Puh leeze people come on and please comment on this review if you disagree otherwise. These guys had a few hits that are still popular today, "More Than A Feeling", etc. Over all a good album buy today

Summary: Not only one of the TOP albums of 1976, but also one of THE BEST musical debuts of all time!!!
Comment: This album could almost be thought of as the soundtrack to America's Bicentennial, not coincidently in that it was released that same year. Any pop cultural review of 1976 would be incomplete without a mention of this powerful, stunning (and even patriotic-feeling!) musical debut from Tom Scholz, Brad Delp, Barry Goudreau, Fran Sheean, and Sib Hashian ---- the boys from Bean-Town.
Every song on here is a classic and this remasterd version of the original album sounds better than ever. Like the opening track, this whole collection of songs really is 'more than a feeling', it's a state of mind that listening to the cd takes you to. It's a natural mood lifter for me ; energizing, optimistic and purist in nature. I consider this debut by Boston to be the quintessential classic rock album of 1976.
The fact that Boston aren't as respected in the world of music as they should be may be borderline criminal, but don't make the mistake of ignoring or disregarding the impact they've had on music. After this debut, virtually ever heavy metal band that followed in the 80's copied some variation of the drums and percussion style that Boston originally designed and patented. Plus, Boston are musical pioneers and there's no doubt many of the young rock bands and musicians on the scene today owe their very existence as artists to Boston.
Besides, how many other bands out there can actually boast a graduate of M.I.T. in their lineup? Yes, that's right, Tom Scholz is a musical genius in the true sense of the word. He designed the first-ever, one-of-a-kind equipment used on this album's recording.
So take note, modern musicians and critics everywhere : even if you don't like Boston, show them the respect they deserve.

Summary: absolute platinum
Comment: This album is by far the best work from this band. Granted, it is their first album of the five so far. 'Boston' showcases what makes the record companies stand up and say "That's what I'm talking about!" An album of this quality has everything it takes to beat any test. Songs that keep you listening from beginning to end, there's no skippng tracks here. If you've got an hour to kill, play this, and you won't be disappointed when, in three, you find out you left 'loop' on. All the rest just look pale in comparison to this master work.

Summary: Best Boston Album of All Time!!!
Comment: Boston in my opinion is one of the best bands of all time and their newly remastered first album is no different. With classics Like More Then a Feeling, Peace of Mind, and Rock and Roll Band I find it hard to believe that someone could not enjoy this music. I like how also the cover booklet contains history and facts about Boston.
