DON'T FEAR THE REAPER: THE BEST OF BLUE ÖYSTER CULT

There's not much to be said here. It's rock, classic rock to be exact. Still I like this much more than some Asia mediocre music. This is from times, where rock was still rock (grass was greener, sky were bluer, you know the saying) and on this depends it all. I for example was listening classic rock, before turning more prog. And I was listening prog, classic rock was slowly fading out, it wasn't too attractive to me after all what I've heard. But one thing is for sure, it's good to went back to your roots. Music on which I grew up, good old rock from 70s (sometimes 60s) and I'm glad that they're included here, even they can't be prog (and I understand it). As a compilation, maybe it's wrong to give best mark, but as for rock album (when evaluating this in rock scale, not prog), this is perfect. So bad that I learned about BOC only 1.5 years ago on local rock radio. Black Blade, Isn't it just like Rush's Cygnus song sometimes ? Just thinking. Also, this is my first best of (by BO I mean songs from studio releases, not Synkopy's Best of 1-3 which are compilation of mostly unreleased songs), but this is really perfect. There's no weak point here. Flaming Telepaths and Astronomy are good, while has really nice riff.

5(-), but only if you like rock, which I suppose you could, when you're reading this.
