Boston beyond their glory days, but with very impressive guitar
But Walk On is a darn good disc. Boston will never be able to top their classic debut and near-perfect follow-up Don't Look Back. The guitar solos really stand out and the playing is fierce. Walk On rocks a lot harder than Third Stage. I was worried about the loss of Brad Delp on vocals, but Fran Cosmo is no stranger to Boston and actually does an outstanding job. If you like the first three Boston albums and are looking for more by Tom Scholz Walk On won't disappoint.


Brilliant!
At a particularly low point I was forced to sell my entire collection for gas money on a move. I used to have this CD 10 or 15 years ago. Some how this was one of the last ones that I replaced. Lately I've been listening to this, and its 3 companion Boston CD's nearly non stop.

In the last 2 months I've been putting the finishing touch on my soon to be released book, "Desert Storm Diaries - Letters From Home" and listening to Boston has really helped put me back in my 1990 Gulf War frame of mind, since I listened to some of these same tracks during the war!

There are plenty of reviews on this site for this CD, so I'll leave the track descriptions to them. For me, it just took me right back to being on the ship, smelling the salt spray and jet exhaust. . . good stuff!

Walk On by Boston
That wasn't on the orginal one. I LOVE this CD!!!! It is AWESOME!!!! I love the Boston logo stamped on the CD.


Walk on and then some
I only had their greatest hits CD for the longest time and decided to go and explore what I've been missing. I'm going to admit I'm a Boston fan myself. "Walk On" is Boston, the guitars, synth, organ play, and not to mention those powerful vocals are all here. Scholz blows me away everytime I hear him play the organ, and especially the guitar, he really is a music genius!

So they added Fran Cosmo as the lead vocalist, but he's not that bad. I agree Brad is still the best vocalist Boston has ever had. Both are strong vocalists who deliver! The overall sound of this album is pretty much like the classic Boston, so if you're into that, you'll enjoy this album. As for Fran, well, I let you be the judge. Overall, this is a really good album, MUCH better than "Corporate America" (that's another review for later). I am giving this album 4 stars because I still think their first three albums are still the best, and I wish we could've had Brad on some of the songs!

Best tracks: I need your love, Surrender to me, Livin' for you, Walkin' at night, Get organ-ized/Get Reorgan-ized, and Magdalene.

My favorite- Walkin' at night. Great guitar rifts, it totally rocks!

Also, if you like Boston, try RTZ! It's Boston with more rock (Warning:No Scholz!)!

The "Mad Mind" has spoken. .


Great Boston CD, Even Without Brad Delp
I. WALK ON is a great Boston CD, even with vocalist Brad Delp (R. P. ) being replaced by Fran Cosmo. The opening song, "I Need Your Love" describes accurately how I thought that a visit back to my old school might provide some grist for the dance-album idea mill, as would keeping in touch by phone with the people there, but came to the conclusion that it wasn't going to work out that way, a conclusion that really hit me as I developed one celebrity crush after another. The next one, "Surrender To Me", is a crunching rocker of pure lust. Even though Delp's soaring voice is missed here, Cosmo more than makes up for it. This CD is one of the ones you should buy after you have the first two remastered Boston CDs. .
