Reveal to Me...
Thaddeus B. Rosemyer | Massena, NY USA | 03/15/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"One of the best BOC LPs, produced in glory by one of the masters, Martin Birch. By "best" I mean: dark, heavy, classy & original. The Oyster Boys let loose some pearls like "Lips...", Buck's "Deadline", Joey's sunny-sounding "Fallen Angel" & the eerie "Unknown Tongue." Eric Bloom has never sounded more in command. Check out the other side to this coin=Fire of Unknown Origin. And for those not on board yet go see em live, NOW, on the road forever."
THE MONSTERS ARE BACK!

"After their commercial success with AGENTS OF FORTUNE, along with their Halloween-compatible conterpart SPECTRES, and their lark-into-the-sunshine MIRRORS, the Blue Oyster Cult comes rip-roaring back with CULTOSAURUS ERECTUS. This album brings them back into very familiar territory, minus the production team of Murray Krugman, Sandy Pearlman, and David Lucas. The sound of the Cult is heavier and is more inclined to go in more exotic trips (listen to MONSTERS). I remember that the president of the B.O.C. fan club stated that CULTOSAURUS ERECTUS was his favorite album by B.O.C. This may not be the absolute best by B.O.C., but one thing is for sure, it certainly is one of the weirdest."

"There's never been a Blue Oyster Cult album that hasn't had songs on it that make it worth listening to, if not purchasing outright. The first four songs on CULTOSAURUS ERECTUS are the four main keepers on this one, particularly "Monsters," which owes more than a little in it's execution to "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson, and has several tasty sax solos in it as well. After those four are three so-so tracks that aren't so much bad as boring, but much interest is restored with the final two tracks, "Lips In The Hills" and "Unknown Tongue," leaving the album in the end with much metal heft. This is not the complete snooze-fest the album before it was (MIRRORS), but it's nowhere near as fulfilling a music experience as TYRANNY AND MUTATION and SECRET TREATIES are and were. And no cowbell, either!"
