I would say Imaginos.. The Symbol is a really good album.. but IMO you don't have to go that far back to find a better one.

I definitely don't have to go back far to find the last one I considered great.  That would be Heaven Forbid.  But Symbol might well be stronger than that one.

From there, I'd have to travel back to Fire of Unknown Origin to find one to compete with Symbol, though I do like Club Ninja.

Heaven Forbid??  yeah man that is great album... godawful horrible cover though LOL

yeah with BOC..  really they break down... good, great, masterpiece. The Symbol Remains ...give a great rating.

I'd rate this new one about equal to Heaven Forbid. and just a bit under Imaginos which I would consider their last real masterpiece.

Fire of Unknown Origin
I just rediscovered this one after The Symbol refreshed my interest in BOC. I used to think it was way too '80s sounding, especially the keys (Yamaha DX7, perhaps?) and didn't pay much attention to it. I dug it out yesterday and slapped myself for ignoring it.

I love most of it. "That Was Me," "The Alchemist," "The Machine" and "Nightmare Epiphany" are fantastic, exactly what I wanted from those guys.

Clap exactly the ones I loved from it.. so yeah. .completely with you on that. Loved most of it..  and no stinkers.. so a typical BOC album in a way..  just high quality sh*t..

some fan f**king tastic... and the rest..  just merely great haha. Not enough fantastic to rate it a classic.. but it really was a pleasant 2020 event.. there have been so few..

FWIW I think this is comfortably their best studio album post - Agents of fortune. If you put Imaginos in a different box. And even AOF I think is a bit overrated.

I thought "FWIW" might be the initials of a Blue Oyster Cult album, but I just discovered it's actually the initials of a Crosbty, Stills & Nash song. Smile
