Title: BOC's worst album
Review: This is NOT the place to start if you're curious about Blue Oyster Cult. Only a couple of the songs are really good, and of those, only one, "Shadow of California", is at all typical of BOC. "Shooting Shark" is a fine song, sung well by Buck Dharma, but it deserved better arranging and production than this; the synthesizer backing is bland, and the sax solos dull and pointless. "Take Me Away" is almost a parody of better BOC songs about UFOs such as "E.T.I. (Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence)". The rest of the album is best forgotten.If you're a true BOC fan, then of course you want everything they've put out, so you have to have this. Less-committed listeners, however, should avoid it. BOC newcomers should start with one of the band's real classics, such as "Tyranny and Mutation", "Agents of Fortune", or "Fire of Unknown Origin".
