Boston University Dear Abbeys: Sincerely, Lost in Boston (2007 CD)

Based on 2 review(s) | Write your own review

"Sincerely, Lost in Boston opens with one of the boldest statements I've heard lately — a solid minute and 45 seconds of scene-setting introduction to Where The Streets Have No Name. It starts with a computer-blended swell of sound, finds focus in rhythmic overlays, then blossoms into a solid U2 cover from the sweet spot of the a cappella playbook. This intro is about twice as long as it really needs to be. But it doesn't suck." See what else Rebecca Christie and the other RARB reviewers had to say about "Sincerely, Lost in Boston."

"Joey C here from the Acappella U podcast. I played a couple tracks from this cd on Ep. 40. What an album!! Inventive, well executed interpretations of familiar pop songs and unique, lively soloists make this even better than Abbeys Road. "Jesus Land," "All Night Long," "Dr. Worm" and others are BOCA-worthy. Don't cheat yourself and just buy a couple singles, BUY THE WHOLE THING, you won't regret it. As I like to say on the show, a great way to squeeze off $15!"

Unbelievable
