In a January 2017 interview, Roeser stated: "BÖC has tentative plans to do some recording this year. The band we have is so good it would be a shame not to record." It would be the band's first new music since 2001.

 

In a May 2017 appearance on Castellano's "Band Geek" podcast, Bloom confirmed that there were tentative plans to release a new album in 2018 and that the band was currently considering offers from multiple record labels.

BOC is second only to Rush. Mid tempo Buckethead is tied with BOC.

BOC is hit and miss for me.

 

 

These 4 stand way above the rest

Imaginos

Tyranny

Debut

Mirrors

 

The rest of their output contains many songs that I love, but no other albums that I need to own.

That 2001 album was terrific, The Old Gods Return is one of my all time favorite BOC tracks. There's no reason it shouldn't be a good album. I can't imagine a bunch of song writers sat around without any ideas for 17 years. Some of those ideas might be perfect for BOC.

But for every "Old Gods Return," that album sports an "I Just Like to Be Bad." :facepalm:

 

That said, I've been looking forward to the new album and I remain optimistic!

Yeah. I like Old Gods, but I don't like the album on the whole very much.

 

Heaven Forbid, on the other hand, was a great album. And I'm optimistic as well.

No doubt.

 

In full disclosure I should admit that I am a big fan of BOC, but that I've never heard a perfect BOC album. To my ears there's always a song or two I just don't like. But every album has something that impresses the hell out of me.

 

But's you're right, the last one was far from perfect. But nevertheless they still had what they always had.

 

I'd like some of the polish removed, though. Sometimes they overwork their later songs.

Agreed. With FOUO they came the closest though.

Nice!!! I always remember the week this album came out ...... I was working in a record shop to supplement Uni. In those days of vinyl, every new album we liked the look of was straight on to the stereo in the shop .... No

such thing as buying a new record in our shop lol!!! Album was going great ... loving it .... then Joan Crawford .... what the hell??? .... wait ... flip it back to the start...play again .... this is mad ..... i think i love it!

It has always remained with me as one of my favourite BOC tracks purely for that moment in time.

We saw them in Glasgow on their 45th anniversary tour ....... they started to play Joan Crawford .... i welled up.
