Search - Blue Oyster Cult :: Cult Classic

It's not BAD; it just somewhat misses the point.

"I was introduced to BOC through this album, then I heard a few other songs. For a 'best of' album, there should be more classics like R U Ready 2 Rock, but this album does have some good Cult tunes. Of course, it has Don't Fear the Reaper, and it has good ones like Godzilla, Harvester of Eyes, Astronomy, This Aint the Summer of Love, Cities On Flame WIth Rock n' Roll, and Burnin' for You, but it's missing some good tracks. It's an okay album to introduce people to, I mean, it has some of their best songs, but there are lame ones like Od'd on Life Itself. Bottom line, it's not a bad album, it's got the basic Cult classics, as the name implies, but it misses the point.



PROS:



Has some of the best Cult songs

Has TV versions of Don't Fear the Reaper and Godzilla

Vocals and instruments sound somewhat better



CONS:



Misses some of the good ones by BOC

Has some pretty lame ones for a Best Of album

Not a very good introducing album

Better Best Of's by BOC out there!"
