Title: Sorry I asked...
Review: Blue Oyster Cult has always been sort of a mystery to me. Since I was a kid, I've only been aware of two of their songs, Don't Fear the Reaper and Godzilla. I never cared at all for the former, I kinda like the latter. Recently I read somewhere that BOC was considered "America's answer to Black Sabbath" and the word "heavy" was thrown around a few times. I decided to see for myself and I ordered the debut album and T&M. All I can say is "Huh?! 'America's answer to Black Sabbath'?!?! 'Heavy'?!?!?! What the heck are you talking about???" I suppose back in the early 70s, this stuff may have been considered heavy. But where the Black Sabbath comparison comes in, I don't know. Black Sabbath's music is the very epitome of HEAVY, and more important, timeless. The music on these albums is as dated as denim bell bottoms and suede vests with fringe. Sounds more like America's answer to early Yes to me.
