Album **

Aside for Black Blade and The Marshall Plan, there's nothing all that great on this album. Most songs will probably remind you of other 80's songs.

Black Blade ****

This song was written with the help of Michael Moorcock (author of the Elric series) and is about the Stormbringer, a sword featured in most of Moorcock's books.

Monsters * 1/2

This song goes from disco to rap to jazz. A bit of a bizarre song. Definatly worth hearing once but not much more than that.

Divine Wind *

This slow moody song doesn't have too much to offer.

Deadline * 1/2

Nothing spectacular. It's listenable but that's about it.

The Marshall Plan ***

The story of a kid who wants to be a rock and roll star. Contains a guest appearance by Don Kirshner (of "Don Kirshner's Rock Concerts") and the guitar rift from Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water"

Hungry Boys **

This song sounds like something Devo would do. Definatly not the typical Blue Oyster Cult song.

Fallen Angel ** 1/2

This one sound's like a Styx song. Now I'm also a big Styx fan so I liked this song. But I don't think most BOC fans do.

Lips In The Hills ** 1/2

Kinda of an early 80's heavy metal song. It's not too bad.

Unknown Tongue ***

A bit of a sadistic song. But it's got a great beat and I love the piano.
