Boston's
new album was really a surprise for us here in Metal Abyss. And that
surprise was due to the band's return in the music society after
almost 8 years with a new studio album, and also to the participation
on "Corporate America" of the original singer of the band
Brad Delp. But in this album, aside form Brad, are also singing Fran
Cosmo and the pop/country vocalist Kimberley Dahme. And of course
responsible for the songs and also for the good result of the album is
-once again- the great Tom Scholz. So. "Corporate America"
includes some classical Boston songs like the terrific "I Had A
Good Time" (surely is the band's new hit!), the very good
"Someone" and "Didn't Mean To Fall In Love", which
might bring on your mind the superb and unique super hit of Boston,
"More Than A Feeling". The good thing with that album is
that in any case is not nostalgic and it doesn't sound, as it wants to
turn the time back in the 70's. It has many good modern rock elements
that you can find it out if you listen to songs like "Turn It
Off", or the sensitive ballad "Cryin'". As a conclusion
to those that I said above, I must say that "Corporate
America" has many good songs (it would be a miss not to say how
excellent is the homonymous song of the album) with many variations
among them. Those who know what Boston have offered to the rock music
will trust them once again. As for the others it's better late than
never to discover such a big rock band!
