Re: Fifty Years of Boston's First Album
Upon its release, my college roommate would play this almost daily! 
I can recall voice-of-God radio promos hyping the fact Tom Scholz had a master's degree in engineering from MIT, as if somehow that translated into great music. 
However, one can't argue against the album's lasting popularity!

Re: Fifty Years of Boston's First Album
The story of how that first album was created is very interesting, with Scholz doing most of the work in his home studio. There are probably some similarities between how Scholz created the music and how A.I. is used to create music now.moldyoldie wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2026 5:24 am Upon its release, my college roommate would play this almost daily!
I strapped on my headphones yesterday and gave it a listen from beginning to end. I've heard all of the songs many times, but hearing them one after another as part of just one studio album was a great experience. The pulsing, multitracked sound hasn't dated one day.
