BLUE ÖYSTER CULT

Superb, unique, extraordinary band and so is the debut album - many would follow. If I'm right Secret Treaties is considered as the highlight of the Black n' White era, but I can't put my finger on what this album is falling short. There is not a single note that could be omitted, absolutely genius rock and surely none of its cliches are in here. Every time I listen to it I feel pure bliss surge in me. As everyone knows Then Came the Last Days of May and Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll are the only ones that still are part of the set-list and they are true stone-cold classics. The flow of the album is perfect. Some have said that BOC were the answer of the USA to Black Sabbath, but these guys are a universe on their own. Countless bands tried (and still do) to copy or play like the absolute Gods Black Sabbath. I don't know any that tried to sound remotely like BOC. The lyrics, Buck Dharma's playing, the whole concept are unrepeatable.

Do take the time and read the wikipedia section, there is some useful information about the songs.
