Boston ”Life, Love & Hope” (2013) Track by Track Debate
November 17, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 265 MBDoes anyone care at this point? Probably not, but we have to struggle through it anyway. Light the Sky grudgingly sits down to discuss Boston's 2013 "effort". Does this band even belong on the greatest discographies of all time list, or should we have covered the first two albums as special episodes and sent the rest to oblivion with a Shift-Delete? Call the plumbers prematurely because this Love It or Flush It might very well be a flush-fest. This episode was livestreamed! Check us out in f...

Who ends up getting sent to the penalty box to sit out five minutes for fighting? With another long break in-between albums and a new singer, where did Boston take their sound and direction after "Third Stage"? Words fly, opinions and hot takes are slapped around and we culminate in another Love It or Flush it as Mark, Chris, Alex and K...
Boston ”Third Stage” (1986) Track by Track Debate
August 26, 2022 19:00 - 2 hours - 323 MBGet ready to eject the warp core and find ejection systems offline as Light the Sky dives right into Boston's 1986 effort, "Third Stage". Is this a solid underdog, underappreciated album that deserves its place in the Boston lore? Does this album contain "life playlist" songs that fit with Boston's classic two first albums? Or are we getting a "Main Bus B Undervolt", "Another Master Alarm", "Third stage separation failed" kind of album? Mark, Chris, Alex and Kevin dive headfirst into this co...
Boston ”Don’t Look Back” (1978) Track by Track Debate
August 12, 2022 20:00 - 2 hours - 307 MBPut out an APB because Light the Sky Podcast has disappeared down the rabbit hole that is Boston's Don't Look Back.

Which members of Light the Sky strap on the gloves and go toe to toe on this one? Mark, Chris, Alex and Kevin discuss and debate all this and more, shaking things out at the end with a ...

What on earth is going on with Fran in the "More Than a Feeling" music video? Find out which of these classic songs we are forced to take sides on in a cl...
