Blue Oyster Compilation

Blue Öyster Cult Ce n'est pas une perle nacrée qui se cache sous la coquille de cette huître préciseuse, mais plutôt plutôt un son gras, qui transpire à travers les amplis chauffés à blanc.

Since releasing their self-titled 1972 Columbia debut, Blue Öyster Cult have been called everything from "the thinking man's heavy metal group" to an "occult rock band" to "the first pop/heavy metal act." They have sold more than 25 million records, and they released a handful of singles during the '70s that became classic rock radio standards, among them "Don't Fear the Reaper," "Burning' for You," and "Godzilla." Lyrics that crisscross science fiction, the occult, and horror films, their layered, three-guitar attack, expansive vocal harmonies, and almost-inimitable balance between crunchy riffs and infectious hooks resulted in the most listenable metal of the '70s.

"Music composed and performed by Blue Öyster Cult," reads the credit for this soundtrack, and that turns out to mean two actual BÖC songs, 19 instrumental excerpts, the longest of which is under two-and-a-half-minutes, and nine songs by otherwise anonymous heavy metal groups. There's a lot of music here – the disc runs over 71 minutes – but little of it is memorable.
