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 Kevin debate the single 90s studio album from Boston.

Quick Reviews
Mark My most enjoyable listen since Chinese Democracy. Such a fun, summertime album with some gem songs that have made the Boston life playlist.
Chris A lot of the same issues that plagued Third Stage are back again here. The album is not without its merit but is lacking.
Alex Not knowing anything about this album, was pleasantly surprised by the guitar tone and a song or two on here. Not enough to bring it up to even the level of Third Stage however.
Kevin Having next to no expectations for this record helped me to enjoy it that much more. A few songs that ended up working well and a few obvious duds.

Love It or Flush It Legend
L = Love. As many as you like.
F = Flush. Must flush at least one track per album.
B = Buy. Purchased for the ultimate LTS “Best Of” playlist for each of us. One per album.
T = Terminate. Should have never even existed. One per album.
The Rules
Each of us must Love, Flush, Buy, and Terminate AT LEAST ONE track on an album, no matter how great or terrible the album is. Whoever wins the “7 for the Buy” section gets an extra Buy or Terminate to use on the album. Because Chris hosts this section and thus cannot win, he gets an extra Buy or Terminate every 4 albums.
Album Information
Walk On is the fourth studio album by American hard rock band Boston, released on June 7, 1994 by MCA Records.[1] It is the first album not to feature vocalist Brad Delp, though he did assist in the writing.
