Of course there are quite a few stale moments that just sound uninspired, but there is thankfully an equal amount of fresh, catchy, and just plain enjoyable songs. However, it presents itself as a surprisingly varied album. One album from a classic 70's rock band that was forgotten, but I find to be a surprisingly great album, is Blue Öyster Cult's 1998 studio album.īeing the band's thirteenth studio album and (at the time) their first in a decade, it would be expected that Heaven Forbid would just be another bland album that tries to recapture past glories. Most of these albums are forgotten, and often for good reason. I mean, not many people are talking about albums like Heart's Desire Walks On or Van Halen's Balance these days.
Albums from these bands weren't very well-received, therefore they usually fade into obscurity. The last decade of the twentieth century weren't exactly the kindest years to classic rock acts of the 70's.
