For me Blue Oyster Cult reside in a foggy murky neither region between cool and overblown 70's rock. And, yes, this album contains probably their most memorable song, "Don't Fear The Reaper", so that would seem to confirm the latter. But, it also has Patti Smith singing and co-writing on "The Revenge of Vera Gemini", which would suggest the former. Somewhere in all that is why I dig this record. The confusion teeters on that fine line, well, like the magic trick being depicted on the cover. For those reasons I own this album.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
