Tom Scholz masterminded the project in his spare time; little did he know that this record came to define AOR, and would become a hi-fi store standard demo disc. Since that time, this record-breaking debut has sold 15 million copies in its homeland. Sholtz put so much effort into making it, he has managed only three further records in 22 years. "More Than A Feeling" still chills in a corny sort of way and the harmonies are pretty impressive.

This is easily in my top 10 best (entire) albums from the 1970's. If your a rock music fan then you probably have owned this in one form or another over the years since its original release in 1976. I have had it on vinyl, cassette and now cd (twice due to a theft of my cd's from my car a while back). This is one of the most melodic, graceful and flowing albums ever made. I remember when I was a kid and this was released, just how shocked I was at the sound quality and clarity of this music. It was like nothing else at that time. On the strength of awesome guitar work, outstanding lyrics and the fact that this music was so different than everything else, the band broke out and rose to fame. After more than 3 decades I still feel the same way about this debut release, and I still find time to listen to it on a regular basis.

This is one of the greatest albums/cds/cassettes of all time. Very few cd's have songs that are ALL good, but this one does. And the sound is awsome. If you like old rock n roll then this is the cd for you. Relieve the years gone by with the sweet sounds of Boston. And if you have an ipod to download it too and listen through head phones even better to quote "I Turn Up The Music And Drift Away." (From More Than A Feeling.) AAAA+++++

You simply can't go wrong with this Boston album. This is Classic Rock at its best and in its prime. Every song on the album is a hit. This is GUARANTEED to take you back to some real good memories. I like all 8 songs on the disc. You just pop it in the CD player and let the whole thing go. There are no bad songs on the disc. A MUST OWN for any classic rock fan! Enjoy!

I never liked Boston growing up. As my knowledge of music grew with age I realized just how incredible this album is. I think I remember reading it was recorded in the guitar players basement using a mobile unit. Which blows my mind because it's such an awesome sounding record. After listening to this it leaves me with more than a feeling!

If you don't like Boston, you should be probably be cruizin for the old classical composers. It was this album that saved my high school career from the overwhelming poison of disco or many or the ear-splitting metal bands of the 70s. The songs are clean, the harmonies tight, and talent from everybody (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboard, and guitars) is excellent without ever overwhelming the song itself. Boston, and particularly this album, is a must have for anybody who enjoys rock.
