Meatloaf meets Alice Cooper.
This is the 4th BOC album. More commercial than the ones that came before it. Don't Fear The Reaper is on here. No of the other songs on the album sound anything like that one.
This one for sure is more polished than the first three. The edge gone, but they're still a great band. This one is even easier and more pleasant to listen to than the first three. I can see why this one appealed to the masses. There's a little bit here for everybody. Interesting songs, you can still rock out but it never gets abrasive. I think a lot of people go in thinking Blue Oyster Cult is some kind of Metal band like Judas Priest or something and they're almost always disappointed. Or they like the hits and and find out things are little bit more oddball than they expected. Blue Oyster Cult is one of the great misunderstood bands of our times.
