Notes

Don't look back was the second release of classic rock band Boston.  It was released two years after their debut, Boston.  According to Tom Scholz the band was rushed by the record company to release the album and when it was released it was not up to his and the band standards.  In other words, I suppose you could say that weren't "feelin' satisfied".  Despite the rush in making it. the album did hit number one the Billboard pop charts.

Recommendations

Obviously its not as good as it's debut.  There a few good songs here which you can find on greatest hits albums.  So if you're only interested the hits you may want to pass it up.

If you plan on purchasing Don't look back

You must get the newly remastered 2006 version.  Tom Scholz has gone back into the studio, dug up some old tapes and has remastered Don't look back, as well as their debut release Boston.  The new remastered version contains liner notes from former Rolling Stone editor David Wild.  The remastered version costs just as much as the previous release version so there is no point in not purchasing the 2006 version.  You usually can find this album at Best Buy or your local record store.  If you are not able to find it in stores, it is always in stock at Cdnow.com.  Don't ever pay more than $11.99

If you don't plan on purchasing Don't look back but want to hear some tracks from it

You must own Don't look back and Feelin Satisfied. Another fan favorite would be A man I'll never be. These three tracks can be found on their greatest hits or you can check them out at Itunes or Napster For more ideas,  also check out my ideal compilation for the band on my Boston Home Page.
