GRINNING PLANET ALBUM REVIEW
 
  Spectres – Blue Oyster Cult
 
 

LYRICS FROM "NOSFERATU"
So chaste, so calm, she gave herself
To the pleasure of the dreaded master.
He sucked the precious drops of life
Throughout the long and cold dark night.
One last goodbye—he was blinded by love;
Blinded by love.
He screamed with fear—he'd stayed too long in her room;
The morning sun had come too soon.
The spell was broken with a kiss of doom;
He vanished into dust, left her all alone.
Only a woman can break his spell,
Pure in heart, who will offer herself
To Nosferatu.

Album Review: Don't you just love a vampire story with a happy ending? It's sort of "Scheherazade" meets "Salem's Lot." OK, sarcasm aside, "Nosferatu" happens to be a fantastic Blue Oyster Cult song, with grand, haunting music to match its spooky theme. The song appears on Spectres, a classic album from BOC's middle period. "Nosferatu" is placed on the album back-to-back with another great vampire song, "I Love the Night." Even though the album also includes their huge scaly hit "Godzilla," it's not ALL about monsters. The album also includes plenty of the complex, hard-edged, non-monstery progressive rock they're know for, with standout tracks including "Golden Age of Leather," "Death Valley Nights," and "Fireworks." This is easily their best album from their middle period.
