Claude says:Blue Öyster Cult's commercial breakthrough — their first platinum record and the home of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," which peaked at No. 12 and turned them into arena draws. The 1976 album also stands out as the only one with lead vocals from all five original members, and Rolling Stone called it "startlingly excellent" for sounding "loud but calm, manic but confident." You've mostly circled that one song since 2019, with a few scattered plays over the years but never much beyond the cowbell classic.
