![]() ![]() I mean, "Cagey Cretins" is fun enough, for example - especially the line about it being so lonely in the state of Maine, which I'd place good money on being Stephen King's favourite BÖC lyric - but it's not on the same level as " Astronomy" or " ME262," the two masterpieces of rock songcraft on that album, nor as personally appealing to me, say, as "Flaming Telepaths," to pick one of the less popular songs on the album. ![]() For instance, even though I hold to this day that Secret Treaties is their greatest overall accomplishment, I am not wild about every song on it. Even when I was a "first three albums" snob - I refer to the concept below, but it's someone who confers near-legendary status on the BÖC up to 1974's Secret Treaties, then gets unduly fussy about the rest of their catalogue - I thought that some songs were better than others. I am happy to report that I love it, as you will see, though (as is the case with every single Blue Öyster Cult album ever), I don't love every song equally. I've been excited for months about the promise of a new Blue Öyster Cult album, which should be hitting shelves this week if you haven't already pre-ordered it, you can do so it here. ![]()
