The 1985 Listening Post - Blue Oyster Cult - Club Ninja

Blue Oyster Cult - Club Ninja

December 10 1985
Blue Oyster Cult
Club Ninja
Genre: Prog Rock

BOC owns a place in Americana for two reasons:
  1. More Cowbell
  2. Touring with Black Sabbath on a “Black and Blue” bill. 
That’s enough for me. 
I cannot explain why this worked for me as well as it did. There’s a nostalgic quality to some of it, like heirs to Moody Blues on “Perfect Water” but other times it just seems that they are having a good time (“Spy in the House of the Night”, “Beat ‘em Up”). 
You could do worse than spend 45 minutes with this. 
It won’t change your life and it has significantly less cowbell. But it’s fine.
