Boston Love Life and Hope - Worst album of all time ?

I have all five albums but this one and I like them all. I skipped this because of how bad it sounds .
Earlier in the week I listened to part of it again to see if maybe I would get it
before turning it off , no Corp America pun intended.
What on earth happened to Tom? His hearing must be shot . This has to be the worst sounding album I’ve ever heard. Tinny mix , those fake drums are even worse than ever and mixed worse than ever too. It makes those recent Yngwie albums sound like Sgt Pepper in comparison. And why THREE yes THREE repeat songs from the latest album before this - Corp. America ? How stupid is that ? Can you imagine if Don’t Look Back repeated three of the first album’s songs ? What a bloody mess.

Absolute dreck.

And when I asked him about the drum sound in an interview, he claimed ignorance...thought it was great.

You won't find a bigger fan of Boston than me, but I have to agree with Andrew. The drums in particular are dreadful
and the overall production is awful. I believe the original producer for Boston's debut, John Boylan never received
proper due for the sound of that album. he stated in an interview Tom was brilliant at recording guitars but had no idea
how to properly record a drum set....and apparently still doesn't.

Worst of all time? No, but no where near as good as any of there other albums or side projects.
