Blue Oyster Cult: On Your Feet Or On Your Knees (Columbia)
Wayne Robins, Creem, May 1975
THE BLUE OYSTER CULT have been heavy metal's premier studio musicians. Initially, they were an image manipulated, a persona directed by their producers, Murray Krugman and Sandy Pearlman. This was not necessarily a bad thing: into an already glutted market came a band with instant identity, even personality. But there was more than that.
