5.0 out of 5 stars Walk on is NOT a disappointment!, September 28, 2003

A Kid's Review

Wow. Walk on - to me, this is by the greatest, hard - rocking album i've ever heard in the 90's. This powerfull album, released by the rock master, BOSTON, blew me away! I thought it would be some pop - crap punk album from the melodic rock genre (after all, I read these people's reviews. What kind of lame ass crap are they pulling?!) The main disapointment in this album for critics was Brad Delp's disaperance. But, that is not true - on page 7 of the booklet, it clearly states that Brad is in the entire Walk On medley, and wrote many songs. You can't deny that, unless your an oaf. Walk on is a great mix of music all throughout the album. Fran Cosmo is great vocalist, and with Bradley, they both rock the album throughout its tracks. And here they are:

I Need Your Love - this song is a great rocker that represents the emotional side of Boston. It has a great jam part in the beginning, which really caught my attention. Fran Cosmo rocks.

Surrender To Me - Boston hits the peak with this hard rocking yet melodic track. It was a major disapointment to me that this didn't make the greatest hits. It has an amazing chorus and funky lyrics throughout its great guitar rifts.

Living For You - Amazing. Simply amazing. This beuatiful, melodic ballad is stunning to your ears. It is perfectly decorated with keyboards and guitars, and Fran sings it perfectly.

Walkin' At Night - This short, rockin' track is the most hard core track on the album. Go Tom Scholz!

Walk On - Ohhh man! Is that hard core rock or what? This track gave me shivers down my back when I first heard it. Get your train on the track!!!

Get Organ - ized - This track is another stunning instrumental with powerful, no amazing organ and guitar jam sessions throughout its 4 minutes and 28 seconds. A stunning, electric drum oriented rocker!

Walk on Part two - Second verse, same as the first! This identical version of track 5 still rocks incredibally hard, with extreme vocal intensity all around. Man is this good!

What's Your Name - This beuatiful, harmony laden ballad is both powerful and funky ( lyricwise ). Fran really gets to show of his vocal talent here.

Magdelene - This beuatiful, emotianally intense rocker peaks the album when it comes to harmony. It has a conspicuously beuatifully chorus, with an amazing jam session. One hell of a rocker.

We Can Make It - This sweet, powerfull ballad is melodic rock at its fullest. It has amazing, soothing vocals, spectacular bass guitars and the most powerfull jam session in the album. A great masterpiece of a closing song for the album.

Well, that covers it all. This album is amazing in emotional intensity and hard core rock. Brad Delp, Fran Cosmo, Tom Scholz, Cedro Sikes, Doug Hoffman, Gary Phil, and Curly Smith are amazing musicians. Walk On Rocks!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good but Overlooked Album, September 15, 2005

By	Jeffrey T. Munson (Dixon, IL) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

When people think of music by Boston, most of them think about songs from the seventies, such as "More Than A Feeling" and "Don't Look Back". However, "Walk On", released in the mid-nineties, is very good in its own right and deserves mention of its own along with the earlier Boston cds. At the front of the band in the seventies was Brad Delp, who's multi-octave voice brought life to all of the earlier songs. However, Brad decided to leave the group before the release of "Walk On" and was relpaced by Fran Cosmo, who does a very good job in his own right handling the lead vocals on this cd.

Boston's trademarks were excellent guitar work, loud drums, cool synthesizer and organ play, and, of course, strong lead and harmony vocals. Nothing's changed. All of these earlier aspects of Boston's success are evident on this cd as well. Tencho-wizard Tom Scholz and his band have once again combined all of these factors into this disc, and the result is a combination of great rock and roll songs.

Each song on the disc is excellent. Fran's voice shines through on "I Need Your Love" and "Livin For You". Songs such as "Surrender To Me" and "Walk On" showcase the great guitar, synthesizer, and drum work which made Boston famous. But there is one song on this disc that stands above the rest in my opinion: "Magdaline". Fran Cosmo sounds better than ever on this song, and the harmony vocals are some of the best I've heard from Boston.

I've been a fan of Boston for many years and I've listened to all of their early and later cds. This disc deserves to be mentioned as one of their best. All of the aspects that made Boston a supergroup are evident on this cd, and even with the loss of Brad Delp, the band doesn't miss a beat. Pick up this great cd and experience the progression of one of the supergroups of the seventies to one of the best groups of the nineties.

3.0 out of 5 stars Boston - 'Walk On' (MCA) 3 1/2 stars, February 21, 2007

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Review no. 69. Follow-up to Boston's 'Third Stage' album (see my review). Obviously their fourth lp in eighteen (18) years. I'm giving it a 3 1/2 star rating because after listening to this CD twice in one night, I believe Tom Scholz and crew gave this disc a full hearted effort. Tunes here that sort of grow on you are "Surrender To Me", "Walking At Night" (now, this is like the trademark arena rocking Boston I remember), title track "Walk On" and well written "What's Your Name", Maybe not a classic, but still worth checking out.
