It's not that often records hit the top, receiving five stars. Even more seldom is that the fact when bands like BOC are the receipients
of these stars, since the band is an uneven one. They are alright but never all that great, except on Secret treaties which is one of
the absolutely most fabulous albums ever made. From start to finish it's a glorious ride where prog and hard rock melt together
perfectly, spiced with mysterious lyrics and great cover.The songs are perfect. Each and everyone worthy of praise and though they present different approaches, somewhat, they belong together in a very cohesive way. BOC never sounded more heavy and furious than on Dominance and submission and more genious than on the great Astronomy. On Secret treaties BOC was struck by the divine, creating a masterpiece of extraordinary measures. Through the mystic (Subhuman), to metal (Dominance and submission), to rock'n'roll (ME262), to the epic, genuine prog (Astronomy). Secret treaties is a must, as I see it. There are absolutely no letdowns of any kind. This is legendary stuff from a band that never reached the same heights agian nor before. Epic.
