The main feature here is Godzilla, one of Blue Öyster Cult’s most classic and fun tunes with its lumbering monster riff and witty lyrics but the songs I love most on Spectres are the ones that evoke hot, summer nights. Hells Angels ride out in the desert to a backdrop of ethereal harmonies on the elegaic Golden Age Of Leather, Death Valley Nights is sozzled noir, Fireworks is full of innocence and wonder and the vampiric masterpiece I Love The Night is dreamy and seductive. On a sweltering night, like it is tonight here in Scotland, Spectres is the perfect soundtrack. Now if only the backs of my knees weren’t so sweaty.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
Godzilla is my favourite BOC song but this one’s good too. Then again, all their late 1970s albums were classic.

Yeah definitely! The early 80s stuff is ace as well.

Agreed, “Fire of Unknown Origin” is superb and “Extraterrestrial Live” is one of my favourite live albums.

Absolutely, top notch stuff! That live album gets unfairly overlooked I think.

“Godzilla” was the first Blue Öyster Cult song I ever heard, which was through a music reaction channel!
