BOULEVARD - Into The Street (1990) [remastered]
The genesis of Canadian AORsters BOULEVARD was already portrayed here in the previous post about their self-titled debut.
With their name officially changed from 'Blvd.' to Boulevard, for their second and final album "Into The Street" the group really sounded 'as a band'. The songwriting is stronger, the instrumentation more natural and the overall feeling absolutely organic.
This, simply put, is one of the best AOR-Rock albums of all time.
You have it all here; heavenly melodies, catchy-perfect choruses, delicate keyboards, sharp guitars and smooth vocals & harmonies. All songs here soar, all are fantastic.
But I have to mention "Talk To Me". This tune changed my life in many ways, at least musically. Oh yes, this is one of the best songs in AOR / Melodic Rock history.
Essential in your collection, this remastered version adds more brightness to the original and a better output balance.
A Must Have.
