Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released over a decade after their previous effort, 'Life, Love & Hope' finds mastermind Tom Scholz painstakingly piecing together Boston's signature, heavily layered arena rock sound. The album notably features posthumous vocal performances from original singer Brad Delp, alongside contributions from a rotating cast of new vocalists. While maintaining Scholz's pristine guitar harmonies and optimistic lyricism, the record received a mixed reception due to its varied, sometimes disjointed production spanning over ten years.
