'Blue Öyster Cult - More Of The Best (R. U. Ready 2 Rock - The Best Of B.Ö.C. II) (2009)' Review!

Yes! 'Les Invisibles' themselves have made another appearance in 2009! Our prayers have been answered, indeed! After the excellent compilation from 2008 entitled, 'R.U. Ready 2 Rock - The Absolute Best Of BÖC' comes this companion 2CD-set burgeoning with blistering Rock, 'More Of The Best (R.U. Ready 2 Rock - The Best Of BÖC'! A truly amazing fortsetzung of the band's almighty career of evil! Expanding the series to 4 discs total with a whopping 37 additional tracks! And, if YOU think this is simply overkill then YOU couldn't be more wrong! CD1 alone contains many of their tried and true concert favourites from over the years, such as '7 Screaming Diz-Busters' and 'Veteran Of The Psychic Wars'! While CD2 adds Top 40 Hits like 'Shooting Shark' as well as their Hit covers of 'Roadhouse Blues' and 'Born To Be Wild'! Added is the ultra-rare single version of their epic closer from 'On Your Feet Or On Your Knees', 'Maserati GT (I Ain't Got You)', a special treat for all BÖC fans, for sure! And, this time around I have added all of the lyrics to the entire 4CD collection, so astound to the revenging lyrics like all good hornswooped bungo-ponies of the gang should! Get your copy and complete the collection, Today! - Rick Wilson, former Rock Radio Journalist / Personality with Radio Canale Grandé.

CD1

01. Before The Kiss, A Redcap (Blue Öyster Cult) 1972 ***** Buck grooves us with some Ska-mixed Rock reflexes!
02. 7 Screaming Diz-Busters (Tyranny & Mutation) 1973 ***** The band's magnificent tribute to Lucifer, the Light!
03. Buck's Boogie (The Guitars That Ruled The World, Secret Treaties: Remaster) 1974 ***** Classic instrumental in a rare studio version!
04. This Ain't The Summer Of Love (Agents Of Fortune) 1976 ***** 1967 it isn't, no!
05. Searchin' For Celine (Spectres) 1977 ***** Allen Lanier's manic search continues!
06. We Gotta Get Out Of This Place: live '78 (Some Enchanted Evening) 1978 ***** Excellent 'The Animals' cover!
07. Dr. Music (Mirrors) 1979 ***** Great tune missing from the first CDs!
08. The Marshall Plan (Here's Johnny!) (Cultösaurus Erectus) 1980 ***** Nifty video! Anyone remember Don Kirshner?
09. Divine Wind (Cultösaurus Erectus) 1980 ***** Ayatollah Khomeni's favourite song!
10. Veteran Of The Psychic Wars (Fire Of Unknown Origin) 1981 ***** I dedicate this one to the veterans of all wars, especially the idiotic wars now being waged around the world, on behalf of the band!
11. Fire Of Unknown Origin (Fire Of Unknown Origin) 1981 ***** Once again, sans poor, forgotten Albert Bouchard on vocal, but a great tune, nonetheless!
12. Born To Rock: live '83 (Nail You Down - Live!) 200? ***** Buck's solo Hit done here live with the band!
13. Feel The Thunder (The Revolution By Night) 1983 ***** Eric's solo song, of sorts! 'Then Came The Last Days Of May' Revisited!
14. Beat 'em Up (Club Ninja) 1985 - Europe, 1986 - U.S. ***** Yes, this Bob Halligan, Jr. penned tune appeared the same year done by the vivacious, Lee Aaron, but she simply doesn't have the balls (Obviously!) to pull this one off like Eric does!
15. Dancin' In The Ruins (Club Ninja) 1985 - Europe, 1986 - U.S. ***** Another Hit, their last great Video!
16. I Am The One You Warned Me Of (Imaginos) 1988 ***** Who? Me? Nah!
17. Harvest Moon (Heaven Forbid) 1998 ***** Buck's tribute to Thanksgiving, and the deadly deeds around harvest time!
18. The Old Gods Return (Curse Of The Hidden Mirror) 2001 ***** Yes, they have!

CD2

01. She's As Beautiful As A Foot (Blue Öyster Cult) 1972 ***** OK, so maybe the foot-fetichist in the band is not Eric, but the songs writers, Albert or Allen, but Eric sings this one so convincingly! lol
02. Career Of Evil (Secret Treaties) 1974 ***** Patti Smith got that right! 40 years, and still going strong!
03. Born To Be Wild: live '75 (single edit) 1975 ***** Great 'Steppenwolf' cover!
04. Maserati GT (Gran Torino) (I Ain't Got You): live '75 (single edit) 1975 ***** 'Aerosmith'? BÖC rip this Calvin Carter tune apart!
05. Sinful Love (Agents Of Fortune) 1976 ***** OK, by the last Review, I botched the facts a bit, I admit. As he does on this great Ohrwurm, Albert Bouchard sang 'Hungry Boys' & 'Dominance & Submission' originally with all of the bravado he could muster, and not Buck Dharma! Sorry, Albert, the great BÖC songwriter!
06. Going Through The Motions (Spectres) 1977 ***** Bonnie Tyler tried her hand singing this one! YOU can try comparing!
07. Kick Out The Jams: live '78 (Some Enchanted Evening) 1978 ***** 'MC5' done alive!
08. I Am The Storm (Mirrors) 1979 ***** Disco-beat aside, this is a nice ride!
09. The Great Sun Jester (Mirrors) 1979 ***** From Michael Moorcock's 'Fireclown'!
10. Fallen Angel (Cultösaurus Erectus) 1980 ***** Joe Bouchard singing about Lucifer, again! lol
11. Deadline (Cultösaurus Erectus) 1980 ***** Buck's unsung Hit that he sang on my favourite BÖC album!
12. Don't Turn Your Back (Fire Of Unknown Origin) 1981 ***** Nifty bass with a lyric that will keep YOU in paranoia!
13. Roadhouse Blues: live '81 (single edit) 1982 ***** A bit shaved, but YOU get the gist!
14. Shooting Shark (The Revolution By Night) 1983 ***** Check out, Buck, in the video with short hair and a Schnauzer! By the way, a 'Shooting Shark' is a comet! So, now YOU know!
15. Shadow Warrior (Club Ninja) 1985 - Europe, 1986 - U.S. ***** Basically, the title cut off of 'Club Ninja'!
16. Les Invisibles (Imaginos) 1988 ***** Fantastic sleeper that I hope will be revived after this release! Great guitar sounds! 7-7-7...! Yes, we understand!
17. See You In Black (Heaven Forbid) 1998 ***** Eric bakes your bread with this hardcore damage!
18. One Step Ahead Of The Devil (Curse Of The Hidden Mirror) 2001 ***** Yes, they are...still one step ahead, as opposed to two steps behind!
19. O.D.'d On Life Itself: live '02 (A Long Day's Night) 2002 ***** No omen, just a great way to remember them from a great DVD (If YOU haven't got it yet, get it!), and their infamous, 'Tyranny & Mutation' heyday! Keep on Rockin', guys!
