5.0 out of 5 stars Buy their first two albums on CD instead., October 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rock and Roll Band (Audio CD)

I am a die-hard fan of Boston's first two albums and also their third. They have a fourth mediocre one and a new one coming out next month(on Nov 2002). Just as the reviewer before me stated: don't bother buying this even though the music is excellent. Since it's taking songs off of the first two albums, it's not really a greates hits album. They have a real greatest hits album already. Also, just buy the first and second album CD's because every song on both is excellent. Well, I really don't care for one song but it's due to personal taste. Imagine, loving all the songs, except for one, off of two albums. This album does not include the song Peace Of Mind from the first album and that alone decreases its value. It also doesn't have the main hit that came off of the second album which is the same as the title of that second album: Don't Look Back. The first album is simple titled Boston like the band. If you aren't willing to spend on the others, by all means, then buy this one. You will be hooked and in the long run will end up buying the first two albums anyway. Enjoy what could have been the world's greatest band but thanks to Tom Scholz, who made the songs as good as they are, never did. He takes roughly eight years between making albums and loses fans and steam in the process.

3.0 out of 5 stars No point in this!, February 8, 2005

This review is sort of the same as my review for "More Than a Feeling" 5 stars because every song on the cd is great, 1 star because there is no point. Buy Boston, Don't Look Back, Third Stage, and Walk On instead of this. Or, if you're saving you're money and you only want one album by Boston, get greatest hits. Don't waist you're money on this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent buy, January 27, 2001

This review is from: Rock and Roll Band (Audio CD)

This is the first Boston CD I got because I liked "More than a Feeling" on the radio. I didn't want to spend too much money because I was scared that they were only as good as that song, but at seven dollars it is definitely the best buy out there. I am officially obsessed with this band; getting their third album (Third Stage), and their greatest hits too. "Hitch a Ride" is an excellent song (especially while driving on the highway). Also there is a lead in to the fourth track..."The Journey" that is awesome to turn up and just wait for the huge music to punch through. This album is so inexpensive that it is a safe bet to buy and be satisfied. Other songs on Boston's second and third CD's are just as tremendous as the songs on this one. They are of course known for their record setting debut album which sold sixteen million and is the epitomy of their sound. If you want to go five bucks more, get that. Otherwise you can be safe and get that later, because this one suits just fine. If, in some way, you don't like these songs...I guarantee you'll like "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Peace of Mind" on their first album. They are unbelievable. Otherwise, you can just enjoy each and every song without having to press the skip button. That is why this CD is such a great find.
