You will get "More than a feeling" from listening to these fine musicians. The vocals are accented by guitar leads that are the best of this genre and time. Listening will certainly give you "Piece of Mind". You get the idea and need to get this CD. A note, The band has reformed just recently with a new lead singer (He passes away due to personal problems)the new man is sid to duplicate the Boston sound exactly. The new lead singer (name unknown) came to their attention from an email saying that they knew a young fan that was able to do a perfect copy. To make a long story short, they showed up at his home and told him he has a demo to do and he made the grade. So soon to coe is a tour of Boston!!!
I've wanted this Boston greatest hits CD/album for a long time. They are not my favorite band, but one of many. I've always enjoyed them on the radio and the deal I received on ebay was too good to pass up. I would say half the songs on this CD I'm familiar with (the radio plays) some of the other songs are good as well and a couple are probably just filler. But the bottom line is the hits are still strong and enjoyable today for someone in my age bracket (50+). I don't know how the kids feel about well written rock and roll of yesteryear, but for me it's all about retro and the fun I had in my life at the time when these songs first came out. Boston was the most popular band to emerge from 1976, the year I graduated high school.
Exellent CD! Great Boston Classics - Higher Power, More Than A Feeling, Peace Of Mind, Don't Look Back, Cool The Engines, Feelin' Satisfied, Foreplay/Long Time, Amanda, Rock & Roll Band, Smokin', The Star Spangled Banner/4TH Of July Reprise! This CD ROCKS!

Having endured high school in the mid-seventies, Boston provided a nice, guitar-driven addition to my teenage soundtrack of life. With songs that span the multi-platinum existence of the band, all you need to do to achieve time travel is slip the disc into the player, push play, lean back and take off. Good stuff, even if for an old guy like me.
Cannot go wrong with a Boston 'hits' cd. Unless you already have the first and second cds. The song 'higher power' is very good. A nice addition to the list. Great cover art. About buying this to add to your 'Boston' collection...do it and don't look back (sorry).
