Third Stage is the third studio album by American hard rock band Boston, released on September 23, 1986 on MCA Records. Scholz and Brad Delp, the group's vocalist, were the only individuals that remained in the group from its original line-up. In terms of lyrics, the release invokes the themes of aging and working through differing 'stages' in one's life.

Boston - third stage album.

After rushing their second album Don't Look Back, Boston took eight years to complete the album Third Stage. The long delay is even more surprising considering that their sound didn't change at all; even though only Tom Scholz and vocalist Brad Delp remained from the original lineup, they were the ones responsible for Boston's sound. As such, it is difficult to avoid comparisons with their landmark debut. However, the songs are not as strong as those on their debut, and the album is marred by the presence of instrumental fillers and an attempt to cling to a theme of "journey through life's third stage. Thus, rather than focusing on universal topics such as the exuberance and uncertainties associated with youth, the mature lyrics are lost on most of their young rock audience.

Third Stage is the third album by American hard rock band Boston released September 23, 1986 on MCA Records After winning a legal battle with Epic Records, Scholz switched his band's recording label to MCA. The album's first track, "Amanda", was actually written in 1980 (when Boston began work on the album) and became the band's only single. It reached and stayed at for two weeks in November 1986. Third Stage went to on the Billboard 200, where it stayed for four weeks. It was the first CD-formatted album to be certified gold (500,000 copies) by the RIAA. It was also certified gold in the LP format, making it what is believed to be the first album certified in both of these formats. In all, the album was certified 4x platinum.

Album Name Third Stage. Data de aparición 1986.

Boston Fan (June 23, 2004). Excellent comeback album for Boston, few comebacks sound this good. It was as if they never stopped playing. I find it extremely hard to compare another comeback album of any band to the quality of this one. Boston didnt.

Boston - Third Stage. LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Boston Format: Vinyl. Anyway, while listening to "Third Stage," I felt like I was experiencing the memories of Tom and Brad and the rest of the Boston guys. Especially through Hollyann
