And, did ALL the > recording, mixing, and production. Almost all of the special effects, both vocal & instrumental, were designed and built by him as well, some of which are still used today in the digital age, because no one's come up with anything better! 46 years later and his analog "old" tech is still kicking ass.

That entire first album in itself is genius, not just in musical or sonic features, but the entire way that one single man pretty much created this and then tricked the record company into thinking that what they heard was an entire band...or so they thought. Genius!! In addition, Scholz is a philanthropist and a vegetarian. It's even been noted that he is great in sports such as basketball and ice skating, along with being an airplane pilot that he flies his own small aircraft on tour from city to city. I have been so inspired by this man as far as I can remember. My life would have been drastically different if I hadn't followed in his footsteps in so many ways that he inspired me to become today.

"Don't look back" has some of the best dual lead guitar work I've ever heard
@MtlCstr5 жыл бұрын
@@SuperAlittlebitcrazy Absolutely!! And I love how the lead vocals trade off between two lead tracks allowing the phrases to bleed over each other. They were even able to do it live thanks to Barry Goudreau's voice being so similar to Brad Delp's. Most bands would have just cut each phrase short and had one lead vocal track. It's possible for one person to sing lead, but it doesn't sound the same. It loses a lot of richness.

Boston were originators. When this album came out it was considered one of best produced albums of all time. The founder, Tom Scholz, has a Masters in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. He built his studio in basement and basically recorded the entire album himself. He brought in Brad Delp for vocals and other musicians for final touches (and also the record company needed an entire band for the marketing of the album) and for touring. This band held the record since 1976 until this year of being the biggest selling debut album by a band in the history of rock and roll. It just fell into second as it recently was passed by Guns and Roses' debut, Appetite for Destruction. If you all want to review another Boston song, I HIGHLY recommend "Smokin'", and then "Don't Look Back"!!!!!
