Blue Oyster Cult - Club Ninja (1997) Retail CD
Music > Albums > Blue Oyster Cult - Club Ninja (1997) Retail CD
added on April 10, 2007, at 09:42 by allcdcovers| This album marks the final demise of BOC as a creative force.Internal strife in the band lead to session musicians playing almost half the album & you have to look hard at the songwriting credits to see Eric Bloom's or Donald Roeser's names almost anywhere.Yet all is not lost,this is still the mighty Cult & there are some gems here,though only the Rush like "Madness to the Method" shines (somewhat dimly) on a very uninspired 2nd side.The stand out tracks are the fantastic "Dancin'In the Ruins" which should have been as big a hit as "Don't Fear The Reaper",and the mesmerising "Perfect Water" with its trademark Cult strangeness & phenomenal guitar from Donald Roeser.Sadly only "White Flags",and the anthemic "Rock Not War" come anywhere near what could be called acceptible,the rest is possibly the worst music to bear the BOC name.One for diehard fans only. | |
