The follow-up to Boston's mega-hit first album, Boston, Don't Look Back took two long years to complete and it's hard to figure out why it took so long because it is almost exactly the same as their debut. The guitars still sound like they are being fed through computers and stacked into great Walls of Sound by robots, lead singer Brad Delp still sounds like he's ripping his throat out, and the harmony vocals still sound like a choir of androids warbling angelically. Most importantly, the songs are overflowing with hooks, there are plenty of riffs to air guitar to, and the songs stick in your head like dirt on a dog. The main difference lies in the semi-melancholic tone of the record. Boston was a nonstop party of a record, but one look at the song titles lets you know that Don't Look Back is a little different: "A Man I'll Never Be," "Used to Bad News," "Don't Be Afraid." These songs reveal a reflective side that was nowhere to be found on Boston. That's not to say the record doesn't rock, because it does mightily. "Don't Look Back" has a killer riff that's very similar to the timeless riff in "More Than a Feeling," "Party" is a storming rocker much like "Smokin'," and "It's Easy" is mellow '70s AOR at its absolute best. Don't Look Back is basically Boston, Pt. 2, but don't let that put you off because even though Boston were treading water, they were treading it like Esther Williams. This record is better than 96.7 percent of the AOR records released in the '70s; combine it with Boston and you're looking at two tickets to AOR paradise. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi
