Boston

Product Info

John Lennon was quoted as saying, 'I'm all for perfection, as long as it doesn't take more than six weeks' (or something like that), a remark about the process of making 'Sgt Pepper'. So he wouldn't have got on too well with Tom Scholz, who went down to his basement to record some music and stayed there. Boston's sound is probably more suited to the stadium than anyone else's. It's huge. Somehow, Scholz and co managed to perfect their unfeasibly dense textures without losing any of the energy. It's obvious that even the solos are strategically arranged rather than improvised, the result being that the whole is seamless and flawless. Sure, the hit 'More Than A Feeling' is the carrot here, but all of the other tracks are made with the same consistency. It's been said before, but Bradley Delp's big, rangy voice is a major asset too. Indeed, everything about 'Boston' is big.
