Mystique rockers Blue Öyster Cult's 4th album which was a lighter and poppier album than the previous ones. It seems like they wanted do reach chart success and they did! The song "Dont fear the reaper" reached nr. 12 on the singles chart and nr. 29 on the album chart. It's not a bad album (except for "True confessions" and "Debbie Denise"); they still had the typical BÖC mystique progressive style that dominated but with much more commercial elements it their unique rock-hardrock. Wishbone Ash comes to mind here and there.

1)This ain't the summer of love (7,0)

2)True confessions (3,5)

3)(Don't fear) the reaper (7,5)

4)E.T.I. (Extra terrestrial intelligence) (7,0)

5)The revenge of Vera Gemini (6,5) (featuring Patti Smith on vocals)

6)Sinful love (6,5)

7)Tattoo vampire (8,0)

8)Morning final (6,5)

9)Tenderloin (7,0)

10)Debbie Denise (4,0)

Score: 6,35
