The first clue that we might have gotten our expectations up just a bit too much?: The word "Love" appears in five of the song titles.

...it seems like they ripped off their own music and melodies from previous work and just added new lyrics.

They established that with their second album. :|

Don't Look Back was a pretty good album imo.

I would disagree with this assertion. I'd say none of their work sounds anything like their first, self-titled album. It's the subsequent albums that seem like copies of one another to me.

This.
Their first self titled album is their legacy.

I only have/have heard their first two albums, and Don't Look Back sounds waaaay too much like their debut.
But, one of the things I can be thankful for, on this magnificent Thanksgiving, is that I'm right and you're all wrong. :teasing-tease:

So, did you pull that straight from Amazon?

I did. For those that didn't want to play my game, here is the unedited version.

The legendary BOSTON return with a brand new studio album after a 10+ year hiatus from releasing new material. Centered around the incredibly gifted guitarist, keyboardist, songwriter, and producer Tom Scholz, 'Life, Love & Hope' is a reflection on how certain traumatic events can impact people s lives. The new songs bring an uplifting message delivered around the classic guitar and vocal harmonies of Boston's classic sound, which are a true trademark of the band. Vocalists on the album include Brad Delp, Kimberley Dahme, David Victor, Tommy DeCarlo and Tom Scholz himself.
Of the album, Tom Scholz said, 'These are all songs from the heart, each of them taking many months of effort to write, arrange, perform and record, always up to the demands of BOSTON's harshest critic, me. They have all been meticulously recorded to analogue tape on the same machines and equipment used for BOSTON's hits for the past 35 years.'

Don't think I haven't been reading this Mister!!!

So, do I need to make time for this incredible music Tuesday night??? I have some appetizers in the wings, if so. :music-rockout:

As for Boston... :bow-blue:

Well, you haven't been reading thoroughly enough then.

From Wed. 11/27

Thanks to the song samples that were recently put up on Amazon, I've canceled my pre-order of this album.

I think a few of the songs are quite good but they sound exactly like previously released songs of theirs. I'm not talking the signature Boston sound but rather it seems like they ripped off their own music and melodies from previous work and just added new lyrics. The other songs I think are just plain bad. :handgestures-thumbdown:

If anyone else got excited and jumped the gun like I did preordering this, you may want to check the samples now.

Why, oh why, did a picture of you two sitting on your living room couch posting, rather than talking, just come to mind?

ps. for Barb's promised appetizers I'd pre-order it again if I were you Zing!

Well, I guess I have not! :teasing-tease:

Jumped the gun on this one! Skipped right over it! Sorry! :teasing-tease:

I will just stop there!!! Another :teasing-tease:

That is rare! He is in one part of the house, I am usually in another, when posting, other than nice weather, when we are on the patio.

ps. for Barb's promised appetizers I'd pre-order it again if I were you Zing!

Thank you, they would have been very tasty!!!
