Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 When was their last official studio album? It wasn't Imaginos was it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) In case no one knows, and did want to, Blue Oyster Cult's previous, and last studio release was in 2001 called "Curse of the Hidden Mirror". I haven't heard anything about their latest "the Symbol Remains", yet. Edited August 16, 2020 by Derek19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I remember a month or so ago I said I was going to try some albums from them for the first time. Should I just start right with their first album or are there certain ones I should hear first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Just finished listening to Secret Treaties for the first time and nothing really grabbed me until the last two songs. Decent rock but nothing too special about it overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent rock but nothing too special about it overall. I would have suggested you start with Some Enchanted Evening. Like Cheap Trick, the Kinks and Frampton, IMO that live album is actually their best work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Regarding the current reality, this Blue Oyster Cult song comes to mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T72-ccjq5wEMight well be my favorite song of theirs. The pisser is that they do it at times live but it so happens that the like 6 FUKKING TIMES I'VE SEEN THEM they have never done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Listened to Agents Of Fortune and Fire Of Unknown Origin. What an extremely ok sounding band. They don't do anything wrong but don't really do anything that stands out much either. They're just ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) BOC are not everyone's cup of tea .... I grew with them which probably makes it easier to appreciate them. They have a bit of diversity in terms of the quality of some of theiroutput which makes it tricky if you are diving in for the first time! For me personally there are a few albums i go back to time and time again - Blue Oyster Cult - fave tracks Transmaniacon MC, Then Came The Last Days of May, Stairway To The Stars, Cities On Fame With RnR. Great first album with some heavy stuff. Tyranny & Mutation - fave tracks Hot Rails To Hell, 7 Screaming Diz-Busters. Another solid hard rocking album. Secret Treaties - fave tracks all of it. My favourite of their albums. The double whammy of Flaming Telepaths and Astronomy is a killer album ending. One of my top albums of all time. Fire of Unknown Origin - fave tracks Burnin' For You, Sole Survivor and the epically wierd yet cool Joan Crawford. Their form had dipped at the end of the '70s but this and the previous release were a return to form. Imaginos - fave tracks Del Rio's Song, Astronomy (reworked), Blue Oyster Cult. The Imaginos concept was hinted at on Secret Treaties but given its head here. In my view the last 'great' BOC album and worth exploring.

Mithrandir Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Huge BOC fan here! I enjoy their debut, Tyranny and Mutation, Mirrors and Imaginos the most. BOC is anything but an ordinary band. Their sound and lyrics are so unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
