Our Take

Ah, the mighty Blue Öyster Cult, the band responsible for giving us classics like "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "Godzilla." Now, with their Original Album Classics box set, they've graced us with a collection of five of their best albums from the 70s and 80s.

First up, we have the self-titled debut album. It's a wild ride from start to finish, with the band showcasing their unique blend of hard rock and psychedelic influences. Songs like "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll" and "Then Came the Last Days of May" are absolute bangers that will have you headbanging in no time.

Next, we have "Tyranny and Mutation." This album sees the band delving deeper into their heavy metal roots, with tracks like "The Red and the Black" and "Hot Rails to Hell" delivering some serious riffage that will have you reaching for your air guitar.

Moving on to "Secret Treaties," we find Blue Öyster Cult at the height of their powers. The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument shining through in the mix. Tracks like "Dominance and Submission" and "Astronomy" showcase the band's songwriting prowess and knack for creating epic, cinematic rock anthems.

In conclusion, if you're a fan of classic rock, hard rock, or just good music in general, do yourself a favor and pick up Blue Öyster Cult's Original Album Classics. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Blue Öyster Cult

BLUE OYSTER CULT: The Band that Time Forgot (But Shouldn't Have) Hailing from Long Island, New York, BLUE OYSTER CULT are the unsung heroes of 70s rock. With a name that sounds more like a seafood dish than a band, BOC have been churning out hard-hitting tunes since the early days of the Nixon administration. Combining elements of hard rock, heavy metal, and even a touch of prog, BLUE OYSTER CULT have carved out a sonic niche that is uniquely their own. From the iconic riff of "Don't Fear the Reaper" to the dark, brooding atmosphere of "Godzilla," these guys are the kings of the cryptic lyric and the killer guitar solo. But despite their undeniable talent, BLUE OYSTER CULT have never quite received the recognition they deserve. Maybe it's their slightly oddball image, with their penchant for sci-fi and occult themes, or maybe it's the fact that they've never quite fit neatly into any one genre. But whatever the reason, BOC are a band that should not be overlooked. With a discography that spans over four decades and includes over a dozen albums, there is no shortage of material to dive into. So whether you're a seasoned fan or a newcomer to their music, it's time to give BLUE OYSTER CULT the recognition they so rightfully deserve. Just don't forget to bring your cowbell.
