Summary: "great followup to their debut masterpiece"

Boston's 2nd album, Don't Look Back, doesn't surpass the brilliance of their first self-titled album, but it's still essential listening. Don't Look Back is very similar in style and feel to the first Boston album. The original band lineup only made these two albums and they are both classics.

Summary: "Popular concensus is wrong: This album contains some of Boston's best"

Popular opinion is that this is the weak followup to Boston's classic debut album. The truth is that half of this album represents Boston's BEST work of all time, while the other half is filler. The first half of this album is terrific, from the opening chords of the title track to "Man I'll Never Be", this is ace stuff. The trouble lies entirely on side two, which is generally sub-mediocre. The hidden treat on this side is "Used to Bad News", which is a great sonic pop bon-bon. Tom Scholz' record label rushed him to release the record, and it's painfully obvious on the remainder of the second "side" (second half for you CD fans). Nonetheless, the good stuff is so good, I'm inclined to give the whole album 4 stars. Make your own compilation by jettisoning the remainder of side two and adding most of the first LP, and you have one for the guitar gods' time capsule.

Summary: "A 70's Arena Rock Delight!"

Most of the time without question I go for a music that tends to be deep in thought or feeling. But there's no question this almost too easy to find album is still a lot of fun. What you'll find yourself getting here is 33 minutes of....pure classic hard rock. Big guitars,big singers,big harmonies and big anthemic hooks purely for the sake of it-no pretentious need to TRY make some big point-it's basic rock for the fun of it,THAT'S the point! "Don't Look Back" is just one of those tunes that you can really rock out to at a party."The Man I'll Never Be" is the slower and more sensative of the two starting as kind of a ballad while "It's Easy","Feelin' Satisified","Party" and "Used To Be Bad News" are just all full of fun and the love of life. "Don't Be Afraid" is kind of a variation on the title but has this really nice,kind of funky drum breakdown at the end. I will not but this as part of the music that saved it's era from disco because there was nothing to be saved from.Disco was born of funk and funk NEVER sucks so how could disco? That's my view on that but for it's place in rock n roll history this is a great little rock album that's full of life;great to party two or get you up,roused and moving on a dreary day!
