Title: Goodbye Boston
Product review: At least Boston is consistent... consistently going downhill. Is it living in the past to say that Boston peaked in 1976 with their masterful debut album? Sure, there are always going to be people who argue that bands have a right to move forward as they see fit. Fine. But how is Corporate America in ANY sense moving forward? Boston was popular in the 70's and 80's because they carved out a musical niche for themselves, and then wrote and performed music better than anyone else in that niche. Now, with Corporate America, they try to carve out new niches for themselves (alternative and country?!) and fall flat on their faces. I would have no problem with Boston updating their sound and making musical progress. After all, quality is quality. This, on the other hand, is a desperate (and failed) attempt to stay current. Rest in peace, Boston. You were a great band in your heyday.
