Greatest Hits (1997) Corporate America (2002)

Corporate America is the fifth studio album by American band Boston, released in 2002. (See 2002 in music).

This album featured important changes to the band's line-up, primarily the return of lead singer Brad Delp, who was absent on the previous full length album, Walk On. Also, this album introduced both Anthony Cosmo and Kimberly Dahme, who introduced a fresh writing style to the ever-consistent "Boston" style.

Following a tradition set by the previous album, the final page of the album's booklet is dedicated to preserving the environment, providing web links to such organizations as PETA. The album's titular song, "Corporate America", is a criticism of corporate corruption, which it says has pervaded and perverted nearly every aspect of American culture and even daily life.
