Blue Oyster Cult Cultosaurus Erectus (1980)
1988 Columbia Records, Inc.\nOriginally Released 1980\nCD Edition Released September 1988\nRemaf a guitar-heavy hard-rock album in Cultosaurus Erectus, after flirting with pop ever since thepop hooks, the songs based on keyboard structures, and they are replaced by lots of guitar solomselves in the bind of being a strong touring act unable to translate that success into record otally underrated gem of an album, easily on par with their earlier albums, and superior to Fir to be popular...are we listening to the same band here? I listen to a helluva lot of 'cheesy' nk their 80s output has even aged that noticeably, still sounds warm and modern, and the synthst take a little wry campy melodrama schlock psuedo-horror with an ironic twist, stay the hell al, nor bland, nor any of these other stupid things people have said. It offers something differ if not SUPERIOR to their earlier work. Even if BOC seemed to be collapsing under publicity, inhat's the bottom line. This album is bloody marvelous and sounds to me like a band at a creativand drives along with tremendous force, and includes awesome 'jazzish' sections. 'Deadline' is ke it could be an Iron Maiden song, and I think that's damn cool. Very VERY energetic, catchy, . Finally we have 'Unknown Tongue'. OH MY GOD. What a song. Words cannot describe how good it i \n\nAs far as I'm concerned, if you call yourself a hardcore Blue Oyster Cult fan and yet don't Treaties. I cannot comprehend why albums like Spectres, (the amazing) Cultosaurus Erectus andmost all the rest are simply awesome. You can almost not go wrong with this band, that is, unle0s BOC, it's just a different style. Cultosaurus Erectus and the following Fire Of Unknown provely...go figure. Some of you 'old-time' fans are idiots for not liking the later stuff. \n\nAmaway too many albums. Another record company scam and marketing ploy. BOC is the worst band thatt are prevalent on all their album covers and in their lyrics. They are a good band, but certaio get. Get this, "Classic Cult" (a spin on Coca Cola Classic) and "Tyranny and Mutation" and yohe didn't think that this album should get accolades. I believe it's their best, complete albumengineered (by Martin the WASP Birch; the best heavy metal producer, likely). Don't get caught has been digitally remastered. It cranks.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nB.O.C. as N.W.O.B.H.M case, Martin Birch (later of Iron Maiden / Whitesnake fame) Britified B.O.C.'s sensibilities aenergy and sound has also been largely traded in for something Stan Lee could click his fingers). The British taste on this LP truly comes through on 'Hungry Boys', 'Deadline' and 'The Marsh in favor of running with the make-your-own-rules New Wave people who were seriously charting aer the rubber-masked veneer. Just take the downbeat slammer 'Divine Wind' and run it next to lietal proper) and it's lightweight doppelganger 'Fallen Angel' bring up the average and then som they could go with pop rock before they might run the risk of sounding like Mott the Hoople. Taybe that's where the added strain of forcing more than the usual amount of fantasy though Eric does set the stage nicely for 'Fire ...'. A nice pre-amble through and through.\n\nAmazon.com f just how good it is. Sadly, that comment sort of says it all really. I tend to pass over it aan't warm to it. As a reaction to the (totally unwarranted) accusations that the band had someh. It silenced the critics and the diehards but it lacks a certain freshness and heart. Eric Blor opus `Unknown Tongue' aside the album suffers from - dare I say it? - a general lack of the Bd drawn blood and in response the guys started taking themselves and their music just a little most of the tracks are acceptable, competent if not outstanding, and bear repeated hearings. Hiboration `Fallen Angel' more each time I hear it. The Roeser/Bloom/Meltzer track `Lips in the Hrced with each successive hearing. I was going to gloss over `The Marshall Plan' but seeing thaere you thinking? It's truly terrible. I'd give this album a perfect 5 for technical merit - Mabut the rating system doesn't allow for half points so for old times sakes - oh and the irrepro! (Find the rabbit! Find the rabbit!!), December 13, 2000\nReviewer: Henry R. Kujawa ("The Forba step back toward the bizarre. I have to admit, I didn't like this much the first time I heardceship flying by for scale at first-- but sadly, on the shrunken CD art, the B.O.C. logo is nowophones and even Don Kirchner (now that really IS scary!). That makes it either wildly erratic aunted sword Stormbringer), "Monsters" (try playing this while watching the "big fight" at the th suggestive imagery) and "Unknown Tongue" (the spooky-yet-goofy finale that takes a twisted lSOMETHING BEAUTIFUL). CBS slipped up again, causing the opening note of "Deadline" to somehow gve become superfluous?)\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nDaring and innovative, yet heavy..., Octo-so things about it. I must say, I was taken aback by the quality and power of this underrated have been some really outstanding albums, along some inferior ones. In my view, the most powerret Treaties'. This is, of course, subjective, but no doubt there are some great songs in 'Cultrs and the obscured 'vocals' in the last part of the song. I have never heard anything similar other personal favs are 'Deadline', 'Divine Wind', 'Lips on the Hills' and the chilling 'Unknowit's one of the most advanced BOC albums ever. Great guitar work, too!\n\nAmazon.com Customer Rho really wants to be serious about a review of any BOC album requires, in my mind, a rich know" offers many excellent tunes, to be sure, which by the time of the album's release had come toyou missed the boat on what an old man like me would call vintage BOC--the first four (4) albumepresents merely a proven formula, one that appeared on several albums before and after it. Thin for You". Admit it, readers, isn't this a song that you could do without ever hearing again?\nOC fans who are responsible for bestowing these unworthy accolades on what should be seen simplhey got heavy on the use of organ music as a filler (that would come with "Secret Treaties"). ISmith (Aarrrghh!). Oh, and one other thing. They were the days before Buck Dharma got this big \nProducer: Martin Birch \n
