Blue Oyster Cult - Tyranny And Mutation

Facts Although the band offers a mix of slightly subdued, milder pieces, the opening number "The Red & The Black" makes it fully clear that we are in for a dizzy roller-coaster ride here. Subsequently the Black side with it's straightforward guitar riffs is mixed together with a complex melody and results in an amazingly colorful sound ("O.D.'d On Life Itself"), it is refreshingly naive, full of feisty complicated rock ("Baby Ice Dog"), and soars to celestial heights in "Wings Wetted Down" with it's polyphonic male voices.
